Starring Eddie Murphy, and Thandie Newton, Norbit follows the history of a guy who has always had it rough on every side, but he is pushed beyond limit when he is forced to marry one who is not his true love.
When Martin Lawrence and Tyler Perry play gals with sky-high BMI, at least their characters offer -- and are shown -- a certain amount of love and respect.
Norbit takes the idea behind The Nutty Professor 2 -- that Eddie Murphy can play just about every character in the movie -- and strips it of all charm and humor.
