Written by Murphy himself and his brother Charlie (or ‘Charlie Murphy!’ to ‘Chappelle Show’ fans) this sees Eddie go Nutty Professor-styles in playing multiple characters. Norbit (Murphy), ditched as a baby and raised by Mr Wong, is a big time nerd. Despite being forced, physically, into marriage by the super-fat Rasputia (Murphy), Norbit sees a way to change his life for the better when his childhood sweetheart Kate (Newton) moves back into town.

"Murphy's story lacks even the basic form that held most of "The Nutty Professor" together..."
Variety"Not exactly uproarious. But Mr. Murphy, going back at least to his Gumby and Buckwheat days on "Saturday Night Live," has always had the ability to turn broad caricature into something stranger and more inventive..."
The New York Times"Racially insensitive, politically incorrect and beyond crude..."
Hollywood Reporter"Compared to Norbit, “Date Movie” is "Casablanca." If I thought hijacking a plane carrying prints of the film and crashing it into Murphy’s house would put a stop to it, I’d go out and buy a box cutter right now..."
