  • Norbit is a 2007 comedy film directed Brian Robbins and starring Eddie Murphy in both leading roles, a la The Nutty Professor. The first role is that of Norbit Albert Rice. The film opens with a joke concerning Norbit's parents throwing him to the curb from the door of a car as a baby. Norbit grows up in an orphanage, which is run by an Asian character who cannot pronounce "L" (also played by Eddie Murphy). He falls in love with fellow orphan Kate Thomas (Thandie Newton) and the two, as children, eventually pretend to marry each other with candy rings under a tree. The two are separated when she is adopted. Not long afterward, Norbit meets Murphy's other role; self-centered, domineering Fat Bitch Rasputia Latimore, who comes from a family of black racketeers. Norbit wallows in misery married to her, until Kate turns up one day. Kate as it happens, is engaged to sneaky, slick-talking businessman Deion Hughes (Cuba Gooding Jr). But Norbit is not to be dissuaded, and he starts aiming to edge away from Rasputia and win Kate back. Norbit was a commercial success but the film was blasted by critics, largely for its subject matter, and Murphy picked up three Razzies for his various performances. Murphy had been considered a lock to win an Oscar for his role in Dreamgirls the same year; when he lost, many suggested the release of Norbit during the balloting process was to blame.

Happily, Hollywood has plenty of stunt actors willing to fill the hole. The Golden Raspberry Awards gave Murphy sloppy seconds, thirds, and fourths, declaring him the year's worst actor, three times over. The film is similar to Atlas Shrugged in that all the important people in the world seem to know each other and run into one another at the same diner. Unlike that other screen gem, however, Norbit nearly recouped its investment.
