Critics Consensus

Coming off his Oscar-nominated performance in Dreamgirls, the talented-but-inconsistent Eddie Murphy plays three roles in Norbit, a cruel, crass, stereotype-filled comedy that's more depressing than funny.

Guardian

Murphy has a deplorable joke concerning a lost policeman's whistle for which there is no excuse whatever - other than it's very funny.

Rated: 2/5

Empire Magazine

Stereotype-based comedy from Eddie Murphy in a variety of fat suits is just not enough to make a decent film.

Rated: 1/5

Time Out

Even if you go back decades, body fascism has rarely been so brazen, or so unfunny. Horrifying.

Gone With The Twins

With the unbelievable advancements in makeup artistry and special practical effects, it's something of a wonder that the best use of it here is for a blubbery fat-suit.

Rated: 4/10

A nonstop series of sloppily constructed comedy bits peopled with racist and misogynist caricatures.

Don't see how or why the critics gave this such a hammering. This is a funny film and had me laughing most of the way through. Eddie Murphy is always great when he plays multiple characters. And as for some people getting offended about fat jokes, well don't take it too seriously and chill out. You might actually enjoy yourself

I can’t help but give this a better score than it deserves. Whilst there are some utterly awful moments, numerous parts were stupidly funny.
