18) Norbit (2007)
Eddie Murphy plays various persons in this comedy. The film tries to combine humor and romance, but bases itself on abysmal stereotypes and off-colour gags that wear themselves thin within a few minutes.
The critics bashed it for being repetitive and incomprehensible, with most saying it went backwards with Murphy's career.
The acting is earnest, but over-the-top and unbelievable, which makes the film painful to watch. "Norbit" is just a film about how to not integrate comedy with controversial material that disappoints the audiences.
