So yes, I rewatched Norbit last week. No, I’m not sorry.
Think about it: Eddie Murphy played THREE main characters in fat suits before CGI took over. Rasputia became an instant meme legend. And the plot? An orphan raised in a Chinese restaurant run by Mr. Wong, who then marries a monster, and finally escapes to a water park wedding.
Norbit walked so that chaotic movie Twitter discourse could run.

But here’s the real question: Was Norbit a misunderstood satire of toxic relationships and found family? Or just a glorious, messy fever dream that somehow gave us one of the most quotable villains in comedy?
