However, I'm very pleased by the way they kicked out The Simpsons Movie and Bee Movie to put in Persepolis and Surf's Up. I've seen Surf's Up and it's one of the best movies in 2007, although Rataouille beats it...I hope there are like 652402133 films that get nominated for different catagories each time.</P><P>Enchanted got nominated for 3 songs?! Trust me, I know my music, and the Enchanted song were MEDIOCRE! They were not that good! I'm fairly surprised James Newton Howard didn't get nominated for the Main Credits score for Signs! I thought that was brilliant but they must nominate other films that were currently nominated for best picture. I'm 95% sure, if the 5 films are nominated for best picture, the other films that got released last year would have more of a chance to get nominated from the other catagory....</P><P>Ok, I'll finish my rant about the stupid Oscars...</P>]]>

    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="http://www.razzies.com/forum/member_profile.asp?PF=1976">Jack Spencer Jr</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 1722<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> January 23 2008 at 11:41am<br /><br />Having recently watched this film, I can sum it up in a single sentence: "Gee, Eddie Murphy is sure bitter about his divorce, huh?" This is the sole driving conflict of the entire movie. Norbit had married the wrong woman and he need to grow some stones and get out of it, somehow.<br><br>Personally, I would have given Murphy a nod for worst actress, not supporting actress. Rasputia is arguably a larger (hee) character than little miss what's-her-name who plays the "nice" girl and has more screen time to boot.<br><br>I believe Roeper mentioned that the filmmakers did not like Rasputia and wanted to make sure we didn't either. This was nakedly obvious in the scene where she attempts to run over the neighbor's dog. It is so unnecessary and so mean, we do hate. Not Rasputia, but the morons who made this movie. There was simply no reason for it. We already disliked Rasputia pretty much because Eddie Murphy plays her as someone with absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever. This scene just hits us over the head with the whole thing. Frankly, it wouldn't have phased me if neighborhood children were disappearing and Norbit questions Rasputia about some strange meat in their fridge. <br><br>In fact, that might have been a step toward good for this movie. Well, not good, but at least it would have moved away from the hackneyed cliche the plot followed so closely, pausing only momentarily to tell fat jokes.<br><br>One little clever bit I rather liked was when the injured dog tells a befuddled Norbit to kill Rasputia. I suddenly started thinking about a movie that starts her and then the bulk of the picture would be Norbit making various attempts on Rasputia's life, but she refuses to die, like Wile E. Coyote. I would have liked that movie. At least it was better than the movie we got. It can't be a good thing if a movie gives you ideas for a different yet better movie.<br><br>Incidentally, even the talking dog bit couldn't be left well enough alone and the dog had to talk about crude things, like lifting his leg and such.<br><br>In the end, the story was a big mass of cliche, dressed up with crude humor that David Chappelle would have called tasteless and refused to do. Maybe if the Murphys had actually put some time into a storyline, this movie would have worked, despite the fat and racial jokes. Maybe if they had given Rasputia a reason to even want Norbit around, as there seems to be no reason. (Sure she preys on his weakness, but since she's an inhuman monster, everyone is weak compared to her. She could be victimizing someone better-looking.) Maybe if we didn't get the obvious love story and went somewhere not so obvious. (Hope I didn't spoil the movie for you, but if I did, how does a five-year-old reach the keyboard?) Maybe if Murphy had gone deeper with the script as an allegory for his failed marriage. Maybe not, but a more personal story would have been refreshing compared to this claptrap.<br>]]>

Ever since they gave the original EXORCIST an "R" nearly&nbsp;35 years ago (at the time, many movie-goers thought it deserved an "X"!)&nbsp;they've had a rep for being "flexible" regarding&nbsp;what ratings they give major studio product...</font><font size="3">&nbsp;</font></p><font size="3"></td></tr></table><br><br>(Off topic note) heheh. They gave The Shining the rating Kubrick wanted (eg not R) because he said the scene with the elevator door opening, pouring blood everywhere, wasn't blood but rusty water. Convincing. I'll buy that. That was the scene the ratings people at the time had most problem with, not the emerging theme of the leading male character using a large axe to kill his own family, strangely enough.<br><br>Ironicly, and probably the most funny thing about Norbit, the official tag line is </font><font size="4"><font size="3">"<font size="5">Have you  ever made a really big mistake?</font>". Obviously, yes.<br></font><font size="3"><br>The rating on IMDB, a generous 3.6/10, is heading towards (given their weighting system that marginalises very low or very high votes) the <span style="font-weight: bold;">bottom 100</span> and may out under-score Murphy's own record-beating Adventures of Pluto Nash (most money ever lost in a film) in the awfulness stakes. The statistics on IMDB show males under 18 to be the ones giving Norbit the highest scores. Who would have thought?</font><br></font>]]>
