Eddie Murphy<\/a> is openly admitting not every movie in his filmography is great … but when it comes to his geeky rom-com “Norbit,” he feels it earned its place in nerdcore!!!<\/p>\n The Hollywood legend recently sat down with Complex and came clean that his films ‘Pluto Nash’ and “Holy Man” were not his best work — but he pushed back on the criticism of 2007’s “Norbit.”<\/p>\n Naming Eddie Murphy the worst actress and actor of the decade for \u2018Norbit\u2019 is insane. \ud83d\ude2d pic.twitter.com\/bdHQMNzJX5<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Complex (@Complex) August 7, 2025<\/a> Eddie says he wrote the film with his late brother<\/a>\/fellow actor Charlie Murphy, and they both approved how the film turned out.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Despite receiving an Oscar nom for the makeup transformations, “Norbit” was also nominated for eight Golden Raspberry Awards — AKA The Razzies, which highlight the worst the industry has to offer every year.<\/p>\n Eddie says he’d just received his Oscar nomination for “Dreamgirls” — a more respectable role — and he thinks critics were too heavy-handed about “Norbit.”<\/p>\n Audiences clearly did not agree with the critics — “Norbit’s” clocked for grossing $159 million on a $60 million budget. Bingo … right in the blowhole!!!<\/p>\n He also regrets selecting “Holy Man” over “Rush Hour” after being seduced with the option of filming in lavish Miami versus kung-fu fighting all over Chinatown!!!<\/p>\n Eddie just added to his resume with a new film titled “The Pickup,” co-starring Pete Davidson<\/a>.<\/p>\n
