Have you ever made a really big mistake? This humorous story revolves around Norbit whose luck has always been out of his reach for this entire life and when his parents throw him out of their car as a baby, our luckless hero is opted by Mr. Wong (Eddie Murphy) who happens to run a Chinese restaurant orphanage. As a child Norbit quickly befriends Kate (Thandie Newton) and they soon become childhood sweethearts but as luck would have it, Kate is torn away from Norbit and his girlfriend is adopted.
The loveless Norbit is soon
befriended by overweight and overbearing Rasputia (Eddie Murpy) and
a one sided romance begins. Rasputia soon forces marriage upon Norbit
and just when Norbit thinks his life is set in stone and misery,
luck has had a chance of heart and our hero stumbles upon Kate and their love is rekindled, only to be thrown in
jeopardy by the cheating Rasputia.
Norbit contains a steady amount of humour throughout the movie,
although in some places it is quite clichéd and predictable but this
is what Murphy does best, making viewers laugh and this is the
perfect movie for those that wish to laugh out loud. |
