Murphy's story lacks even the basic form that held most of "The Nutty Professor" together...
Full reviewWritten by Murphy himself and his brother Charlie (or ‘Charlie Murphy!’ to ‘Chappelle Show’ fans) this sees Eddie go Nutty Professor-styles in playing multiple characters. Norbit (Murphy), ditched as a baby and raised by Mr Wong, is a big time nerd. Despite being forced, physically, into marriage by the super-fat Rasputia (Murphy), Norbit sees a way to change his life for the better when his childhood sweetheart Kate (Newton) moves back into town.
Murphy's story lacks even the basic form that held most of "The Nutty Professor" together...
Full reviewNot exactly uproarious. But Mr. Murphy, going back at least to his Gumby and Buckwheat days on "Saturday Night Live," has always had the ability to turn broad caricature into something stranger and more inventive...
Full reviewCompared to Norbit, “Date Movie” is "Casablanca." If I thought hijacking a plane carrying prints of the film and crashing it into Murphy’s house would put a stop to it, I’d go out and buy a box cutter right now...
Full reviewNorbit is available to stream in Australia now on Stan and Google Play and Apple TV and Prime Video Store.
