How was Norbit?

So far all the reviews I've seen were bad, but when I read them they're really biased because it's "offensive" or "Anti-fat people"
is it funny? to someone who doesn't get offended by fat/racist jokes?

I wouldn't go see it, not because it looks offensive, but because it looks stupid and unfunny.

See I think things are pretty polar here,
people who don't like that kinda stuff/find it unfunny, and people like me who find it hilarious.
I thought the trailer was hilarious

I personally don't understand Eddie Murphy's penchant for dressing up like fat chicks...

I think it's more his penchant for playing at least five characters in any movie he makes...

It's just ######ed crap, I find the movie to have no redeeming qualities whatsoever

Rotten Tomatoes ( http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/norbit/), my favorite movie review site, has it sitting at a 9%... I'm avoiding it like the plague.

Why would you be disappointed in the lack of fat/racial jokes?
