Norbit (2007)
Yet another movie where Eddie Murphy feels the need to play multiple roles. The question is, aren’t there any other actors aor actresses that could play the other roles that he plays or does he just love to see himself?

This is one of those movies that wastes all of it’s good scenes in the trailer to entice people to come see it. When you actually watch the whole movie, you’ll realize you’ve already seen all the good parts and you’re left with a mediocre, forgettable movie.

Hairspray
If nothing else, this remake of the 1988 musical is worth watching for John Travolta playing the main character’s mother - yes, *mother*. She is fat, and she dances. Travolta is unrecognizable under layers of latex and a fat suit, when I first saw a photo of him in …
