I agree that Rasputia’s catchphrase of ‘how you doing’ was not funny, thats why i rated it as just a 9, but don’t let the negative comments, about obese humour, put you off the film. With many of Eddie’s films, the humour is not in the physical appearance of the characters (although people assume that’s the funny part), its more the delivery, wording and responses of the characters, that make the funniest moments. Before the PC brigade starts asking, which parts I laughed at, it was not at Rasputia’s appearance.
I was actually laughing out loud for most of the movie and so were many others in the theatre. In effect, the humour, then has to be diluted, but I think that Norbit still packs more laughs, than most movies. So the wise cracking, foul language spewing – Eddie from RAW, Delirious, 48 hours, Trading Places and Beverly Hills cop cannot surface. But you should bear in mind, that many of the recent roles, have been targeted at a family audience. Yes, there have been some strange movie choices by the man in recent years. I’m a big fan of Eddie Murphy, but I only give credit, where credit is due. Having seen many of the negative comments, it seems that people have either not actually seen the film, or just don’t appreciate Eddie Murphy’s humour.
