Norbit's life took its bizarre turn at birth. As a baby, he was abandoned on the doorstep of a Chinese restaurant and orphanage, "The Golden Wonton," and taken in by its kindly, if eccentric, owner Mr. Wong (Eddie Murphy in his third role). As a child, Norbit was a sweet-natured boy who found his only happiness with his best friend and fellow orphan, Kate (Thandiwe Newton). The two would spend their days playing together, and under a large oak tree, they even had a pretend wedding, solidifying their bond as childhood sweethearts.

Beyond the Oscar talk, Norbit drew serious criticism for its reliance on caricatured stereotypes. Murphy’s performance as Mr. Wong, a Chinese restaurateur who can’t pronounce his “L”s, was widely condemned as a dated and offensive portrayal of an Asian character. Furthermore, the film’s depiction of its primarily African-American cast, particularly the abusive, loud, and materialistic Latimore family, was accused of reinforcing negative stereotypes, with some academics going so far as to label the film a modern form of “Blackface”. The movie’s treatment of its only major female character, Rasputia, a sexualized, monstrous, and obese bully, also drew accusations of gross fatphobia and sexism.

Norbit remains a fascinating study in Hollywood filmmaking. It is a movie that refused to play by the rules of polite comedy, choosing instead to lean entirely into the grotesque, the absurd, and the deeply sentimental. Whether viewed as a flawed relic of its time or a misunderstood comedic masterwork, its place in pop culture history is undeniable.
