I saw it somewhere, can't remember but it does look funny. I think it was joblo.com that had it.

Re: Norbit - Eddie Murphy - times 3


I finally watched the trailer for this today (motivated by the tons of posters that are all over the metro these days), and I have to say, this looks really funny. I love Eddie Murphy; I think that he's still just an amazing comedian. And pairing him with Eddie Griffin should be a good team, too. I think the Eddie-as-woman character is my favorite at the moment.

We saw this trailer in the movie theater. I first was thinking, "oh..another stand by me, Nickelodeon kids move" and then when they showed her and Norbit as grown ups I knew it was going to be different.

The Bikini scene had the whole movie theater laughing pretty hard.

We will definitely go see this one.



\"A human being is part of the whole called by us the Universe. We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest --a kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures, and the whole of nature in its beauty.\" - Albert Einstein

Re: Norbit - Eddie Murphy - times 3


I swear, everytime I see the Eddie Murphy dressed up as the extra large woman character, I crack up. I can't help myself. I'm so there for this, too. (Seems like one of thsoe movies that's best to watch in a theater full of people laughing along with it.)

Though Eddie is wonderful in Dreamgirls I'm glad to see him return to his comedy roots, too.

(PS - Has anyone looked at the official site? It's meetnorbit.com They have a rib toss game based off of how much the Rasputia (womam character) loves ribs. And also there are Norbit valentines. I love it!)

I've seen the trailer for this about a dozen times now and for the life of me I can't figure out what the movie is about...

Re: Norbit - Eddie Murphy - times 3


I have no idea what it's about either, but I have to admit it looks funny as hell. I've been waiting a long time for Eddie to make a funny movie and this could certainly be the one(fingers crossed).

I've been seeing tv spots for this and everytime I see Eddie as that wierd dude with the glasses and afro I lose it lol, probably because there are some hints of 'Jiff' from Bowfinger in there lol.

Re: Norbit - Eddie Murphy - times 3


I think that there's nobody who does the playing multiple character things like Eddie (apparently he plays an Asian man in this too? I think?), and he's so good at making them so different.

Sometimes you just need a movie that'll give you a lot of good laughs, and I think this is my pick for that next week.

not surprised that anyone who has seen it responded.

it was garbage.

it could easily be called "the Spousal Abuse Is Funny Edition"

not gonna say anymore.
