Eddie Murphy's worst. I remember the immense disappointment sitting in the movie theater.

Norbit is the film that lost Eddie Murphy his Oscar. It's actually not as bad as that. It is not good, but as a stupid American comedy of its ilk, it is one of the better ones. Amid the scatology and grotesquerie, there are a some sharp lines, the character of Norbit is very likeable, and the actors deliver. I don't recommend it as such, but I had to say that the reputation of Norbit as irredemable is exaggerated.
