Re: Eddie Murphy - Norbit
love n' Eddie for staying with his roots. his idol growing up was Richard Pryor. Eddie is alot like Jim Carey, very versital but he chooses to make comedies. nothing wrong with that. for as long as the movie(s) does well, i'm sure the movie studio won't complain...I am glad I got the Buell- I love riding it, I love the oddball looks I get on the road- I love people asking "What IS that thing?" I love flying into a corner WAY too hot, scared spitless and sure I'll never hold it at this speed- and hearing the bike whisper "Sissy!"...Comment

Re: Eddie Murphy - Norbit
I think the way, way over the top fat woman role is going to ruin the film. They should have watched Coming to America a few more times. Slightly exaggerated characters that remind you of people you know=comedic gold and timeless classic. 101 gross out fat jokes=mediocre flick written for 10 year olds.Jordan Mychal Lemos

Re: Eddie Murphy - Norbit
If it would have came out when I was 10, I would have agreed, but I personally didn't think it was that great specifically because of those characters.
Of Eddie's post C to A films, I actually only really like Life, and even that one could have been better with a more polished script.
I feel like Eddie's comedic genius is been wasted in films with such bad writing.Jordan Mychal Lemos

Re: Eddie Murphy - Norbit
Eddie used to be so funny, now his movies are just corny.
At least he's good as Donkey on Shrek.
This movie with Chris Rock could end up being funny though.

Re: Eddie Murphy - Norbit
Is it just me, or does that fact that he plays most of the main roles in his movies make it seem like he doesn't trust anyone to play them?Rose City 'Til I Die

I've always liked Eddie, but I don't know if this is much more than a rental.Comment

Re: Eddie Murphy - Norbit
I must say the reviews got me a little scared to go see this one, but I'll always take a chance on Eddie.
I'm glad I did, because this movie was some funny ish. It had alot more laughs than I expected and the scenes with the chinese guy had the whole theater crackin up(ala table scene in Nutty Proffessor).
This movie isn't for everyone especially if you hate racial stereotypes tho. It really doesn't have much of a plot either but this is a crude comedy classic IMO, just like Half-Baked and Office Space.-Rocky Balboa"Maybe I can't win. But to beat me, he's going to have to kill me. And to kill me, he's gonna have to have the heart to stand in front of me. And to do that, he's got to be willing to die himself. I don't know if he's ready to do that."Comment

Re: Eddie Murphy - Norbit
I loved Bowfinger.
I think that was the last Eddie Murphy movie that was actually funny.Comment

Re: Eddie Murphy - Norbit
Based on the trailer and the talent in the movie, I thought the movie would be hilarious. Instead, I thought it was pretty bad (and not bad meaning good). There were some funny parts, but ended up being a big disappointment. The last 15-30min of the movie was nonsensical trashHBO's "The Wire" should rank as one of the top 10 shows EVER on tv - period
