About this movie

Fast-talking Jack McCall (Eddie Murphy) says whatever it takes to close a deal. But after stretching the truth with a spiritual guru, he suddenly finds his life depending on a magical tree with 1,000 leaves...one for every word he has left. Now Jack's got to stop talking and conjure up some outrageous ways to communicate or he's a goner. See why A Thousand Words is the hilarious, feel-good comedy that has it all: "great cast, great laughs [and a] great time!"

This is a clear sign that the ratings on these literally dont mean anything, they should really composite the 300 psychos that gave this 5 stars with the critical reception which was famously horrendous. At the time this came out it was considered the worst movie ever made and a complete comercial failure and it's sitting pretty at 4 STARS. Literally insane

I love Eddie Murphy, but this was not one of his better films. I was expecting to laugh and maybe did once. It had a good message at the end, but it was all around just a boring movie! I wouldn't recommend it to people or watch it again.

IMO, this was just a horrible movie. Its just more of the same Eddie Murphy. I think his refusal to change over the years has really hurt his fan base. I have absolutely no desire to watch this movie again.
