Norbit

Everyone's ripped on this movie, but I don't get it. It's not that bad. Don't get me wrong, it's not good. Give me any two minutes of "Coming to America" over this any day. But Eddie Griffin has some good moments. Eddie Murphy's kind of funny as Rasputia Latimore, the plump meanie who terrorizes Norbit, especially when he/she's commenting on a daytime Jerry Springer-type show, telling the guest, "You know damn well that's your baby. You know it's yours. Got the same chin. The same lip. That baby got the same head as you and the same eye. Go take the test. Take the test. In the case of the little baby . . . how you doing?" It may not make you laugh, but at least it's not painfully unfunny like a Woody Allen movie.
