Worst Movie of 2007: Norbit
Most people believe this movie sank Eddie Murphy’s chance to win the Oscar thanks to his great performance in Dreamgirls… of course by starring in this “comedy” that didn’t have any laughs and should be studied as a prime example of all the wrong stereotypes in America, most voters realized Eddie Murphy cannot be in good conscience be awarded the highest honor for cinematic performance. He should really get rid of that fat suit, and for once let his comedic genius shine through without any gimmicks.
