Norbit 2 (2026)

“You can’t fix the past — but you can laugh about it.”

Eighteen years after Norbit first split sides and sparked conversation, Eddie Murphy returns to one of his most outrageous and lovable roles in Norbit 2 (2026) — a family comedy about redemption, laughter, and the messy beauty of second chances.

This time, Norbit is older, calmer, and trying desperately to live a quiet life running a small community center with his wife, Kate (Thandiwe Newton). But peace is short-lived when Rasputia resurfaces — not just as an ex, but as a self-proclaimed “wellness mogul” with a global empire built on chaos, ego, and questionable self-help slogans.

As Norbit is pulled back into Rasputia’s orbit, old fears collide with new wisdom. Through slapstick disasters, wild misunderstandings, and some surprisingly touching moments, he learns that real strength doesn’t come from running away — it comes from finally standing tall.

Murphy’s performance is pure comedic gold — blending the physical humor of his early days with the warmth and wisdom of his later roles. Thandiwe Newton brings grace and grounded energy, while Terry Crews and Katt Williams round out the cast with high-voltage charisma and rapid-fire laughs.

Director Tim Story (Ride Along, Think Like a Man) gives Norbit 2 a fresh modern look, balancing outrageous comedy with emotional depth. The film explores forgiveness, family, and personal growth — proving that even the funniest stories can have a beating heart.

Visually vibrant and musically upbeat, the sequel leans into Murphy’s full range as both performer and storyteller. Every gag lands with intention, and every moment of sincerity feels earned.

 4.8/5 – “Laugh-out-loud fun with genuine soul.”
 Norbit 2 (2026) is everything fans hoped for — fast, funny, and surprisingly full of heart. It’s not just a comeback; it’s a redemption story with a punchline.
