The movie was a simple, fun, Friday night movie worth a few good laughs. It’s not to be taken seriously and its characters are dramatically exaggerated for comedic effect. The screenplay is an average romantic comedy with it’s up and down rollercoaster ride between the three main characters which keeps the audience holding on tight and rooting for Norbit.
This movie seemed to end a couple times which leads the audience into thinking the film is long – but it’s average. The film opens with the perfect image for the entire movie, reflecting the director’s talent, of a baby Norbit being thrown from a speeding vehicle in front of Mr. Wong’s … which reminds me, for those who don’t know, Eddie Murphy actually plays three characters in this movie!
The second act certainly puts Norbit in the tree of story and throws rocks at him. His wife, Rasputia is impossible to deal with and even breaks Norbit’s heart, which fuels the audience to laugh at the ‘fat jokes’ though out the movie as a way of saying ‘it’s okay to laugh … she’s really mean.”
Those who liked The Nutty Professor will enjoy Eddie’s new starring to the third power movie. Norbit’s a great guy and easy to root for. Check out the previous article and read about the Sea of Emotions including: sympathy, empathy, and antipathy - all of which drive Norbit's screenplay.
