Norbit, D+Promo after promo convinced me that I wanted to see this movie. Note to the advertising execs: it worked, I hate you.
I was really hoping the funny would be brought, and I would be served, but my hopes were dashed from the beginning. Eddie Murphy's various characters were, well, varied, but not particularly funny. The funniest moments were in the beginning of the movie when Norbit is a child growing up at the orphanage, but from there it just gets repetitive and pointless. The last 20 minutes were pretty bad, worse than the rest of the movie, so I just left a bit annoyed.
The good parts: Eddie Griffin was really funny as Pope Sweet Jesus (I have nooo idea, so don't even ask), and Thandie Newton was, for lack of a better word, hot. She could probably use a few acting lessons, but if I ever go out with her, I'm going to come back and delete the internet and kill everybody who read this comment.
All in all, Norbit was a no-go.
I'm getting better at the movie title puns. They'll be epic by the end of the year
