Review of Norbit (2007) by Bronson W — 20 Jul 2015

Norbit is hilarious and heartwarming from start to finish. In this movie, Eddie Murphy plays three different characters with three different voices.

Eddie Murphy plays Norbit who is a married milquetoast and former orphan who only stays and puts up with his mean, self-centered, and extremely obese wife Rasputia and her mean ways since she's the only family that he has. Once Kate returns into his life, however, he hopes to make his feelings for her known. He briefly uses some profanity and he is also the main protagonist of the movie.

Eddie Murphy also plays Rasputia who is Norbit's mean, self-centered, and extremely obese wife who constantly belittles him and she occasionally gets violent with him. She has an affair with her local aerobics instructor Buster who is played by Marlon Wayans. She uses some profanity and she is also the main antagonist of the movie.

Eddie Murphy also plays Mr. Wong who is the racist Asian restaurant owner who also runs an orphanage where he raised Norbit and Kate among others.
