Review of Norbit (2007)

By Ken Hanke (2,234) for Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) (2,247) on 14 Feb 2007

Review of Norbit (2007)

By Mark Palermo (504) for The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) (715) on 13 Feb 2007

When it works, Norbit's honesty about its exaggerations makes for a more embraceable portrait of American culture than Dreamgirls…

By Mike Mcgranaghan (1,821) for Aisle Seat (1,783) on 11 Feb 2007

If nothing else, the movie proves that years of PG-rated kiddie stuff hasn't dulled Murphy's edge. He's just rusty, that's all…

We've laughed at actors wearing fat suits enough already and there's nothing new in 'Norbit…

Review of Norbit (2007)

By Ethan Alter (997) for Film Journal International (5,095) on 10 Feb 2007

A film that seems more like an act of revenge against womankind than an extra-broad comedy where the star dresses up in drag…

When it comes to spectacularly unfunny comedy, the supposedly very funny Eddie Murphy sure knows how to pick 'em…

By Brian Tallerico (1,600) for UGO (350) on 09 Feb 2007

If you're going to make a movie that basically centers around misogyny, racism, and making fun of fat people, why not go all the way and make…

Review of Norbit (2007)

By Peter Howell (1,731) for Toronto Star (3,601) on 09 Feb 2007

Think Big Momma's House blended with a particularly loathsome Jerry Lewis movie, and you've got the picture. Grimacing yet…

Norbit is as fleeting as a belch -- and even less funny…

Review of Norbit (2007)

By David Elliott (754) for San Diego Union-Tribune (1,408) on 09 Feb 2007

Norbit is not a thriller, action film or suspense story. Still, it achieves the assassination of comedy…

Review of Norbit (2007)

By Jim Hemphill (63) for Reel.com (1,232) on 09 Feb 2007

Norbit is a return to form for Murphy; while it's not on a par with his best work, it's very funny and just risky enough to eradicate the memory…

I could deal better with mean-spiritedness if the film were better written and directed…

You wouldn't call this a recommendation, exactly, but the new Eddie Murphy movie is not nearly as horrible as it looks…

Review of Norbit (2007)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for Houston Chronicle (970) on 09 Feb 2007

Murphy looks like he's in pain, and he probably is -- latex cellulite can't be fun to wear -- but his anguish is as much existential as physical,…

After taking in double helpings of Tyler Perry and Martin Lawrence doing the same shtick in the Madea movies and Big Momma's House, isn't it…

Review of Norbit (2007)

By Lisa Kennedy (833) for Denver Post (1,096) on 09 Feb 2007

This borderline-PG-13 comedy demands the sort of sociological scrutiny that often has the moviegoer looking for a fun night out rolling her…

Review of Norbit (2007)

By Mary F. Pols (536) for Contra Costa Times (478) on 09 Feb 2007

Norbit briefly thrives on the power of Murphy's genius and then becomes mean-spirited and depressing…

Review of Norbit (2007)

By Tim Cogshell (223) for Boxoffice Magazine (2,896) on 09 Feb 2007

This is all pretty ordinary Murphy movie stuff, which is to say it's kinda funny most of the time and very funny some of the time…
