| OhmyNews.comBrian OrndorfNorbit ends up a patchy oddity, but remains the closest Eddie Murphy has come to recapturing his mislaid sense of danger. |
| FilmsInReview.comVictoria AlexanderAbsolutely adorable. Murphy plays a big black woman who is not a victim of America's unrealistic ideal of beauty. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleIf Eddie Murphy gets an Oscar for "Dreamgirls" later this month, the deciding factor with voters may be his performance in Norbit. It's much more impressive than anything he does in "Dreamgirls." |
| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonaldNorbit is as fleeting as a belch -- and even less funny. |
| NewsdayGene SeymourWhat seemed an inventive and engaging stretch of Murphy's comedic resources 11 years ago has congealed into predictable, processed fare. The prefabricated naughtiness of Norbit is guaranteed to drag the laughs out of you whether you like it or not. |
| Reel Times: Reflections on CinemaMark PfeifferIf Norbit doesn't kill cinema, nothing will. |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip Martin...works on a basic level, but I left it very sad. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderWhen it comes to spectacularly unfunny comedy, the supposedly very funny Eddie Murphy sure knows how to pick 'em. |
| Dark HorizonsDrew TurneyThe laughs are broad (pardon the pun), obtuse, and unsubtle. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyEddie Murphy steals more than a few ideas from Tyler Perry for his multi-character comedy that has Murphy playing an obese wench named Rasputia, to whom Norbit is married. |
