Norbit has a 19% Rotten Tomatoes rating so far….good movie! Walter Chaw of Film Freak Central has the best blurb: “Norbit is remarkably consistent in its incompetence, in its tireless recycling of ugly jokes from Eddie Murphy‘s other drag artifacts, in its race-baiting and body-loathing.
“It’s such a disquieting, dreadful, reckless thing that the fact that it seems like it’s all set in a Neverland in which an angry mob chasing a trio of black men isn’t meant to evoke a good old-fashioned lynching is more the point than beside the point. Norbit isn’t farce — it’s a thoughtless, cancerous, viral, irresponsible pollution whose existence speaks ill of the society that produced it and of any society that would endorse or defend it.”
