Released in 2007, "Norbit" is a comedy film that caught the attention of audiences and critics alike with its unique storyline and exceptional performance by Robert Downey Jr., who plays three different roles in the movie. The film is directed by Brian Robbins and written by Andrew Steele and Rob Schneider, who also stars in the movie.

The movie revolves around Norbit Ryan (played by Robert Downey Jr.), a man who was once a fat, awkward, and bullied kid. Years later, Norbit becomes a slim, successful, and somewhat happy man. However, his life takes a drastic turn when his childhood sweetheart, Rasputia (also played by Robert Downey Jr.), whom he had been trying to get rid of, comes back into his life with her three children. To make matters worse, Rasputia is now a grossly obese and controlling woman. The complexity of Norbit's life increases when he falls in love with a beautiful woman named Nora (played by Kate Hudson).
