Norbit

My 3rd movie of CNY. Can't remember when was the last time I watched a Eddie Murphy movie, this wasn't any of the choices. But then, in the end, I would say quite nice with EM's slap stick kinda of action in mind.

Simple story about a orphan, Norbit who was brought up by Mr Wong, a wonton restaurant cum orphanage owner. He met his childhood sweetheart Kate by Thandie Newton there but she was adopted so she left.

As Norbit was bully all the time at school, Rasputia rescued him. She is about 2,451,676,771,872 times bigger then Norbit. Somehow they got together and got married.

Then the actual story begins ... Kate returns to buy the orphanage from Mr Wong. Norbit who was still very much in love with her was thrilled that she was back. But with Rasputia's 3 brothers evil plan to buy the orphanage and turn it into a sleazy strip bar, things didn't get easy for Norbit.

He was disappointed that Kate was engaged as well, to a guy who always cheat women's money.
Well .... It is a comedy, so usually has a happy ending.

EM is Norbit, Rasputia and Mr Wong. EM played these diverse characters and made them alive in this crazy comedy.

Moment of the movie :
Rasputia went for bikini waxing, when it was peeled off from her private parts. She found the police whistle !!! Norbit and her has been role playing in bed, Policeman was one of Norbit's role.
Quite gross if you start thinking about that.

7/10
