By Tonisha Johnson

 

Eddie Murphy stars as the insecure orphan Norbit. Raised by Mr. Wong (Eddie Murphy) at his Chinese restaurant/Orphanage. There he is partnered with his childhood best friend Kate (Thandie Newton). But after a brief pretend marriage Kate was adopted and Norbit was left to his own devices which included the bossy Rasputia. Desperate for a family as well as feeling trapped, Norbit and Rasputia begin their lives together. But infidelity rears its ugly head causing Norbit to lose faith totally in his marriage. In  his dissolution, childhood friend Kate returns and Norbit is anxious to win her over.
