   Yeah. I saw Norbit Yesterday. Honestly, I am an Eddie Murphy fan, but the movie was just not funny. The plot was cliche and I believe I chuckled once in the beginning. I almost asked for a refund. Out of 1- 10, I rated "Stomp the Yard" a 4, Norbit seriously gets a 0. The movie was thrown together and was simply not funny, at all. Sorry Eddie, better luck next time.

   I just saw norbit and I don't get what the @$#%! is up with everybody. I mean ya ok at certain points it got boring but you got slapped right back into it. I'm extremely fat and I wasn't offended at all. in fact I loved the fact that they just went ahead and talked about it. everyone says that what norbit is prommoting is that being fat means your a jerk, but what they dont understand is that #1 it was just one person #2her brothers spoiled her no duh shes a jerk. i give Norbit an 8, but i dont mean to dictate what you think.

   I saw the movie and I never laughed one bit. My mother thought it was insulting, but since I was open minded I did see it and not only was it not funny, but I saw what my mom meant and she was right. The ideal of what beauty is not only penetrates young minds of minority women, by damages our minds that as women no matter what we look like we just aren't good enough in beauty standards. Norbit not only left me unmoved in comedic matters, but it also seemed like it was sending a message about image among women who are of African American. Being not one myself I travelled all over the world and did research about women of different backround and culture and women seem damaged when they see themselves looked upon based on race and image.

   The movie was terrible! I took 3 other people. That was 32 dollars down the drain.

   I think the movie would have been better if they left out all the cursing. There were a lot of children viewing the movie, and the cursing, especially in church, most likely left a mark in their minds that this is ok to do. Movies do not have to have lots of cursing to make it good. I wish people in Hollywood can see this. I don't believe cursing is what sells, but sometimes just a good movie will sell if it is put together properly. Eddie is a very funny man, but he could have done better with the movie. I wish he thought about the impression he would leave on the young children. He has children of his own, and I'm sure it would not set a good precedent with them.

   I have never like an eddie murphy movie, and the tradition was broke with norbit. I love the movie. IT was hilarious it kept me laughing the whole time. I am obese and in no way was i offended. I dont get how people draw conclusions like that. If u saw an average white male drunk on screen would u htink that as offensive, its somehow saying every average white male is a drunk?
   Go watch ur Disney. and when ur kids grow up in a sheltered home i hope reality hits them hard when ur not looking.
   Aweswome movie funny from beginning to end.

   I saw the movie yday..its funny..but kinda gross at some points..but oevrall..i must say..a brilliant effort by eddie and has comedy thrown in it in fair proportion.
   n NO..it isnt anything abt being fat/afro-american..its moreso her rude dominating behaviour which makes him want to walk out of the marriage..now whats wrong with that??

   This movie is offensive! I cannot believe that Thandie Newton and Cuba Gooding even stooped this low to perform in the movie. It would have been better if the cursing and the extreme show of Norbit's wife's body fat had not been so prevalent, but I guess that's the effect he wants. I took my children and I regret wasting my time and money. It's the Klumps all over (running out of ideas?). Won't even recommend this one for rental. Such a shame after the Eddie's performance in Dreamgirls.

   I am replying to Debra's responce,
   you go to the movies and of course there is going to be swearing, and it isnt really your choice if its apropreate for the children hearing or not.. and plus, this movie was rated PG-13, so of course a lot of thinking had to go on about what kind of impressions it was going to leave on people. Thats why it was rated PG-13.
   me being 13 myself i hear swearing all the time, at school, at home, at the movies, in the store, in music lyrics, walking with my friends somewhere.. you cant try and shelter the children in the world.

   I am in total agreeance with Debra. The movie was totally offensive with all of the cursing (bitch, ho, ass etc.) throughout the entire movie. I don't have a problem with the fact that Eddie chose to portray an obese black woman but he could have left out most of the cursing. Yes, the movie is rated PG-13 which means it should be appropriate for 13 year olds. Are we teaching our young women that we can be called names like that. And I won't even get on the racial remarks made in this movie. But let a white person make a racial remark, then everyone wants to complain.
   
   Leila, you are 13 year old female and you should have more respect for yourself! I understand that cursing is around you sometimes no matter what, but when someone deliberates makes a movie with degrading and vulgar cursing and they know that children are watching...it's just downright UNACCEPTABLE!! I am 30 years old with 2 children and when you become a parent one day, you'll understand where I'm coming from.

   This movie sucked! Such a waste of money and time. I like Eddie Murphy...but this was the Klumps all over again...

   The absolute WORST movie ever! This is not something children and young adults should be watching. This is not funny, don't think I laughed once during the movie. Made it through it but it wasn't easy. I was offended with the overuse of curse words and the female domination over a man to the extent that he would lie not to get beat up.

   A Norbit in real life would not get a date. Eddie Murphy wishes he could get a girl that hot, let alone Norbit getting her!!
