Three...

Stranger Than Fiction - three and a half stars
Great movie. I thought it was going to be more comical, with Will Ferrell starring, but it blended some funny moments with a nice, steady plot, some fantastic acting, and seemed heartfelt enough. Ferrell was great, as was Dustin Hoffman, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Queen Latifah, and Emma Thompson (she, like Daniel Day-Lews, is usually someone starring in movies I have no urge to see, yet they win Oscars).

Norbit - three stars
Eddie Murphy does a really good job holding down three roles, each of which are pretty funny. He plays the title character, a too-naive, ultra-nice pushover, who grows up in Mr. Wong's orphanage (Wong is also played by Murphy), and marries another girl from the orphanage, the monsterous Rasputia (Murphy again). Everyone else in the movie, including Cuba Gooding, is extremely bland, with the exception of two "pimps", played by Eddie Griffin and Katt Williams (their character names are Pope Sweet Jesus and Lord Have Mercy, respectively). The first half hour or so was hilarious, and then the movie was....fair. The reason, I think, it worked in The Nutty Professor and Coming to America (with Murphy playing multiple roles), was because they were only onscreen for a little while here and there, not saturating the whole movie. I'd suggest waiting for the DVD.

My Super Ex-Girlfriend - two and a half stars
This movie just wasn't that funny. Uma is good, although a little over the top, and I just can't figure out how Luke Wilson is the main actor in a movie - any movie. Rainn Wilson is decent in the movie, but he honestly plays a character identical to Dwight Shrute. There were some funny moments, but even watching this one with my kids, who laugh at anything, they weren't laughing much.

On the docket: Saw 2, Borat, and Employee of the Month (halfway through).
