When she gets into the bathtub, almost all the water ends up spilling out, and Rasputia thinks it must be raining. Bathtub Scene: Rasputia has a scene where she takes a bath in her bathtub.
especially when she claims a telltale sign is that she's getting "a little belly". Bad Liar: Rasputia is very clearly lying about being pregnant.But even so, none of them were arrested, which should be their deserved punishment according to their crimes, and Rasputia seems to be reasonably happy to work and live in a place where all the men look up to her. Rasputia and her brothers are thrown out of town, Norbit is separated from her and when we last see them, they work in a small brothel in Mexico that is clearly far from the profit they originally hoped to make. She even forgets about it shortly after and says it was just gas. The Baby Trap: Rasputia uses this on Norbit when he is about to leave her.Considering that Norbit was 10 years old when he met Rasputia, this means that the couple stayed together for at least 25 years. The original script reveals that Norbit was born in 1968 and that the present plot is situated in 2005. Awful Wedded Life: Norbit and his life with Rasputia is a nightmare.And Now You Must Marry Me: A deleted scene shows that it was Rasputia who forced Norbit to marry her, threatening to hit him if he refused.Amusing Injuries:That is the only way to explain how Norbit can still be alive even though he is crushed by Rasputia every night.All Women Are Lustful: Rasputia think only about two things: food and sex.Rasputia is extraordinarily strong, but when she chases Norbit through the city streets, she quickly tires and gives up the chase. In spite of her own infidelity, the morbidly obese Rasputia also demands that he have eyes for no one but her, which the poor long-suffering fool patiently does for many years despite her constant abuse. Decades later, they've married, though she abuses him physically, psychologically and sexually, and even cheats on him which breaks his heart. Norbit has no attraction to Rasputia, either by her looks or her personality, but he accepts because she is the only person who protects him and also because he is afraid of her. As children at the orphanage, the burly, bigger Rasputia saves Norbit from bullies but demands that he become her boyfriend. Abhorrent Admirer: Rasputia becomes this to Norbit.But Norbit is not to be dissuaded and he starts aiming to edge away from Rasputia and win Kate back, as well as foiling a sabotage plan on the orphanage constructed by Rasputia and her brothers. As it happens, Kate is engaged to sneaky, slick-talking businessman Dion Hughes ( Cuba Gooding Jr.). Norbit wallows in misery while being married to her until Kate turns up one day. Not long afterward, Norbit meets self-centered, domineering, evil Fat Bitch Rasputia Latimore (ALSO played by Murphy), who comes from a family of black racketeers. Eventually, the two are separated when she is adopted. He falls in love with fellow orphan Kate Thomas ( Thandiwe Newton) and the two, as children, eventually pretend to marry each other with Ring Pops under a tree. Norbit grows up there, which is run by a stereotypical Asian man who cannot pronounce "L" (also played by Murphy). The film opens with Norbit Albert Rice's (Murphy) parents throwing him to the front of an orphanage from the car door as a baby. Norbit is a 2007 comedy film, directed by Brian Robbins and starring Eddie Murphy in both leading roles, a la The Nutty Professor. It's one of the most "normal" characters of his early career and one that is fondly remembered by many.Comedy comes in extra-extra-extra large. In some cases, Murphy gets upstaged by his co-stars - namely Halle Berry in her breakthrough role - but it's refreshing to see him act outside of instigating the action.
It was a rare example of a 1990s studio moving beyond tired archetypes and painting an all-Black cast as titans of industry in a film whose legacy EW has since called "ridiculously impressive" for both its cast (including Grace Jones, Eartha Kitt, pre- Martin Martin Lawrence, and David Alan Grier) and its stellar soundtrack.Īs advertising exec Marcus, Murphy's first rom-com turn is as an incorrigible womanizer, living a lavish lifestyle without committing to any one partner.
What's more, this Reginald Hudlin-directed film portrayed Black glamor as a reality - not as some aspirational goal the characters were seeking.
EDDIE MURPHY KIDS ARE CRUEL MOVIE
Murphy was an established presence when Boomerang was released, but this movie cast him in a different light - as a romantic comedy star.
