What the hell is wrong with Eddie Murphy?

I don't get it. Eddie Murphy is a very funny, incredibly talented comedian and actor. He's won a Golden Globe and will likely win an Oscar for his performance in DreamGirls.

So why in the world would he make a piece of crap movie like Norbit? More importantly, why he is continuing to insist playing multiple roles? It was amusing when he did it in Coming to America. It sort of worked when he did it in The Nutty Professor -- at least the part where he was Professor Klump and Buddy Love.

But now he's playing both the nerdy guy and the fat girl in Norbit, and it looks like going to see that movie will be like having someone perform oral surgery without an anasthetic for two hours. All you need is for the popcorn to be loaded with rat droppings and it's a perfect evening.

So what's the deal with Murphy playing fat people, too? Was he fat as a kid? He seems to think there's something hilarious about poking fun at the morbidly obese. It sucks being fat. Most fat people would rather not be fat, although it's tough to pass up the 10-pack at White Castle ol' white sign calling you. I'll bet a lot of Eddie's fans have asses the size of these characters, so he might want to think twice before he climbs in the fat suit one more time.

I wish Eddie would go back to the way he was when he did Beverly Hills Cop. Funny, with an attitude. Or else retire. That would be ok too. Dude, the multiple characters and fat suit thing is old. Move on, or move out!
