Norbit is a relic of a very specific era of comedy that prioritized 'the louder and meaner, the better.'

If you're looking for classic Eddie Murphy, stick to Coming to America. This one is a skip for most intentional families, unless you're doing a deep dive into the history of Oscar-nominated makeup—and even then, you'll want the mute button handy.
