Norbit ((install))

Norbit remains a memorable piece of 2000s comedy culture, largely for its extreme character work and quotable scenes. It demonstrates the power of character acting to define a film, even when the script is unconventional.

Released in February 2007—a notorious dumping ground for movies the studio doesn’t quite know what to do with— Norbit was a critical punching bag. It currently holds a paltry 9% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It was savaged by reviewers for its crass humor, its reliance on fat suits, and what many perceived as a regressive portrayal of Black womanhood and plus-sized bodies.

Despite—or perhaps because of—its critical drubbing, Norbit has never fully faded from the cultural conversation. Over time, it has found a loyal audience. The film’s audience score on Rotten Tomatoes sits at a more favorable 53%, suggesting many viewers find genuine laughs in its unapologetic and outrageous humor. For many, the film is a guilty pleasure, with Eddie Murphy's hilarious physicality and the sheer audacity of its concept still able to generate laughs.
