DVD Reviews of Norbit (Full Screen)
DVD Review: Very Funny!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
I thought this was a really good funny movie! Eddie Murphy is back doing what he does best! He plays Norbit Rice, and his mistreating obese wife, Rasputia. In the middle of the movie, Norbit's childhood girlfriend, Kate comes back to town, hoping to buy the orphanage that she and Norbit grew up in. Kate's fiance and Rasputia's brothers try to stop Kate so they can open a strip club. Later, Norbit finally gets courage with the help of some friendly pimps, and Mr. Wong to tell Kate the truth and win her love. If you love comedies, and Eddie Murphy, you'll love NORBIT!!!!DVD Review: If Eddie Murphy, a once great talent...
Summary: 1 Stars
...keeps putting out crap like this, I predict his movie career will soon be referred to in the past tense. This is just awful, somewhere between a human acted cartoon and tripe. The first fifteen or so minutes have a couple of laughs, from there it goes straight downhill. This is so bad it's not even worth the time to watch it if you somehow acquired it for nothing. I always loved Eddie Murphy, and I know no one can hit a homerun every time out, but this just blows chunks, sucks, you fill in whatever appropriate phrase you'd like. Avoid it like a mother-in-law with a rent bill in her hand.DVD Review: Norbit
Summary: 4 Stars
Shortly after this movie was released I started hearing notions & comments on entertainment websites & shows that this movie would prevent Eddie Murphy from winning the Oscar for his performance in DREAMGIRLS. I heard that this movie was crass, buffoonish, stupid, ignorant, mean-spirited, yadda..yadda..yadda so I avoided seeing it till recently.
This is the first Eddie Murphy comedy that I've seen in a long time and I had no expectations about what I'd see but this was the most hilarious movie I've seen in quite a while. The makeup artist who transformed Eddie into Rasputia & Mr. Wong is to be commended as are the technical wizards who enabled us to see Norbit & Rasputia in the same scenes in a seamless manner. This is a basic story of a sad sack in Norbit who grows from an abandoned baby to the cuckolded husband of an overweight bully of a wife (both played by Murphy). Norbit's sad life is trucking along until he discovers his wife's infidelity and the return of his childhood sweetheart - these events make him realize that he wants & deserves true love & happiness.
The supporting cast of Thandie Newton, Eddie Griffin, Kat Williams, Cuba Gooding, Jr., Terry Crews and Marlon Wayans as the "power tap guru" definitely worked well off of Eddie's "characters".
Frankly, several members of my family have questioned my taste level after learning how much I enjoy this movie but I just tell them "different strokes for different folks" and keep it moving. This movie IS crude, rude & lewd but I found it funny as hell and crack up every time I think about certain scenes so to all who enjoyed it, HOW YOU DOIN'?!
DVD Review: Eddie Murphy Style!!!!
Summary: 3 Stars
When I first watched it, I didn't laugh very much. By the second or third time my boyfriend and I started randomly quoting lines from the movie and falling out!!!! Yes, Rasputia is beastly and mean-spirited, but I ended up buying this movie because at any point in the movie, there's something hilarious going on or being said. It's meant to be crass, folks. She's ghetto fabulous!DVD Review: Love this movie
Summary: 5 Stars
But you must love raw, crude humor. If you do, this one kills! And Eddie Murphy is amazing!
Description of Norbit (Full Screen)
Teaming up with the same people that brought us the Nutty Professor films Eddie Murphy creates several unforgettable characters in this hilarious new comedy. Norbit is a mild-mannered outcast engaged to his super sized childhood bully Rasputia. When the love of his life returns he must scheme to escape the grasp of his controlling fianc to find happiness.Runtime: 102 minFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?COMEDY Rating:?PG - 13 UPC:?097361245942 Manufacturer No:?124594Eddie Murphy stars and stars in this very broad and raucous comedy that finds the Oscar-nominated Dreamgirls actor revisiting the multiple-character shtick that worked so well for him in Coming to America and The Nutty Professor. The latter's makeup-effects artist, Rick Baker, once again transforms Murphy into a variety of grotesques and caricatures, including the hugely fat, monstrous Rasputia, the Asian Mr. Wong, and the timorous Norbit, a nervous orphan raised by Wong and married to Rasputia. The latter, a member of a construction family with a plan to turn Wong's orphanage into a strip club, is a relentlessly narcissistic shrew who puts the screws on Norbit at every turn, especially when he rediscovers his love for an old friend, Kate (Thandie Newton). Kate's wish to buy and maintain the orphanage herself is secretly compromised by her fianc? (Cuba Gooding, Jr.), who is in cahoots with Rasputia's family and using Norbit to further their agenda.
Extraordinarily silly, frequently crude and mean-spirited to an extreme, Norbit is far more sour than The Nutty Professor. But there are moments of inspiration, especially a wedding interrupted by wannabe pimps who launch a profane gospel groove, and a dog that talks to Norbit while he is semi-conscious. For the most part, though, Norbit impresses as a technical marvel utilizing careful shot design and skillful editing. Murphy participates in several remarkable, three-character scenes in which he happens to be all three characters, and those moments move so briskly it's easy to forget one is looking at a comic stunt. --Tom Keogh
