Eddie Murphy has gotten himself another hit in Norbit, the tail of a meek man that finds the love of his dreams. Norbit played by Eddie Murphy starts his life as a timid orphaned who had friend at the orphanage except one young girl. They were best friends and did everything together until she was adopted. The adoption left Norbit alone and with no friends; enters his soon to be obnoxious wife, played by Eddie Murphy, who befriends Norbit. She instantly makes him her boyfriend. No one dared to speak bad or mess with Norbit after that. Not only is she obnoxious but she is a kick butt and ask questions later kind of women. Norbit has the protection and has now been taken in by his soon to be wife’s family. This family is the roughest group of individuals in town. Their like the neighborhood gangsters, and their all brothers and sisters. Norbit is scared and is talked into marrying his overbearing controlling girlfriend.

Norbit believes his life is over until he sees his long lost friend from the orphanage. She is looking to move back in town and take over the orphanage that is scheduled to be sold. Norbit instantly falls in love with his old friend but his overbearing wife is not going to have that. She beats him, sabotages his conversations, and absolutely tries to make it a living hell for Norbit. Norbit now has to find the courage to one find the truth about what his wife’s brothers are trying to do with the orphanage and also find the courage to stand up to his monstrous wife once and for all and find the true love that he is wanting for.

Norbit was the most hilarious movie that I have seen in a long time. The story line kept the pace of the moving from beginning to end. The only problem that I found with this movie is that it was marketed as a movie that children could see. That is so far from the truth. This is not a movie that children should ever see. It has adult content with subjective comments and actions. The violence is also very high on the meter. Even though a lot of the violence was slaphappy violence it still is not appropriate for children under 13 to see. Other than that this is a great movie that I would even see more than once. That is saying a lot. Most of the movies release today I could only stand to see it one time. But the comedy in this movie is so good you may just have to see it twice.

If I had a star system I would give this move 5 stars out of 5.
