I saw Eddie on Inside the Actors Studio and he discussed the Norbit character. Personally I didn't take offense maybe because I know a woman who beats her husband. I'll have to check the movie out!

But is it comical? Would it be comical for a movie to portray a fat black man beating up his wife?
(I didn't know the character beat her husband in the movie.)

I saw Eddie on Inside the Actor's Studio and say a clip and thats what he said about the movie. Domestic abuse is not comical. However I do not agree that starting a petition for a film that no one has seen is a good idea either. At the end of the day people have a choice as to whether they want to see the movie or not.

Indeed. A lot of people never heard of this movie until the petition circulated.

I have seen this petition making its way around. I guess I took exception to it because of the way we are portrayed in movies anyway. I certainly won't be supporting it.

I didn't see the movie but the previews looked stupid.

This movie so minimally sparked my interest my homeboy bought a cheap bootleg of this movie for me because I refused to patronize this movie. I was like "ok he took the time to actually buy this dvd let me give it a chance". 15 mins into the movie I politely got up took the dvd out my dvd player and gave it back to him and said " nah I'm good, I have mopping to do".
