Why so much hype?

Thanks for the memories!

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

I thought this movie was funny. I've watched it more than once. I think it's underrated. I don't understand why.

Continuing my plan to watch every Eddie Murphy movie in order, I come to Norbit (2007)Plot In A Paragraph: Norbit (Murphy) a shy, mild-mannered guy, is married to an abusive, obsessively fat, sex hungry woman (also Murphy) named Rasputia.If Dreamgirls opened any doors for Murphy, Norbit shut them again!! All the criticisms aimed at this movie are correct, and personally, I didn't find much to laugh at, but boy did the two kids (12 year old boy and a 8 year old girl) I watched it with, laugh their little ass's off!! I mean hysterical laughing!! I smiled and laughed more at them laughing, than I did at the actual movie. They were still saying "How YOU doing??" In the voice of Rasputia as I wrote this.A lot of the jokes are recycled as we watch Rasputia break bed after bed, whilst jumping on Norbit for sex!! We see her repeatedly fart and honk the car horn with her boobs!! All of which had the kids laughing. I have to say, watching the kids laughing, does make me warm to a movie. I will say this Thandie Newton has never looked hotter in a movie. Norbit was a hit, grossing $95 million at the domestic box office to end the year, the 30th highest grossing movie of the year. This would be the last movie with Murphy in front of the camera, to finish in the top 30 movies of the year, or to make a decent profit at the domestic box office.
