DramaComedyFantasy

Directed by Brian Robbins

Jack McCall is a fast-talking literary agent, who can close any deal, any time, any way. He has set his sights on New Age guru Dr. Sinja for his own selfish purposes. But Dr. Sinja is on to him, and Jack’s life comes unglued after a magical Bodhi tree mysteriously appears in his backyard.

    Yeah, to get something worse, you have to dig through direct-to-video releases or seek out a rare bomb like the Travolta Gotti movie or Eddie Murphy's A Thousand Words.

    I'm glad my tablet picked this up in black and white. This oak tree is still shedding its leaves. I think it was last year that I'd seen an underrated Eddie Murphy movie called A Thousand Words where, Jack, his character believes when the last leaf falls, he will die. It's a very good movie.

    "600 tweets" reminds me of the Eddie Murphy movie A Thousand Words* where he'll die after he says a thousand words. *a sentiment that has never been uttered before and will never be uttered again.

    Eddie’s movie career has fallen off hard since his ‘80s heyday. In 2012, he starred in a terrible movie called “A Thousand Words” where he couldn’t speak or else risked death.

    The restaurant scene in the film, A Thousand Words, has just made me laugh harder than expected. Needed that.

    A Thousand Words has a solid premise that could have been something special, but the execution feels shallow. The plot is unique and had the potential to explore deeper themes, but instead, it plays things too safe, relying on surface-level humor and predictable emotional beats. The directing feels uninspired, and while the pacing is decent, it never fully leans into the weight of its own concept. Cinematography is standard, nothing particularly memorable, and the visual storytelling doesn’t do…

    A Thousand Words - movie that takes away Eddie Murphy's greatest asset as an actor - his voice - and ended up dogshit Gulliver's Travels - who thought adapting a three-century old prose satirizing the human nature and imaginary voyage literary subgenres as whatever the hell this is was a good idea?
