Add a CommentIt's a meaningful movie and worthy to watch.
This movie wasn't hilarious but some parts were funny. This movie was ok.
This would have been a half-star if it wasn't for the last half hour. Murphy's time as a star has come and gone. Let it go.
It was a really good and funny movie but thus had a moral to it and that is use your words wisely. Take the time to stop before you speak because it could be your last words.
Fair – A Thousand Words (2012) 91 min. Do you remember when Eddie Murphy personified “cool” with 48 Hrs and Beverly Hills Cop; not to mention his incredible concert performance in Delirious? This is not the same Eddie Murphy, who after pitfalls like Boomerang and the Nutty Professor films he morphed from cool to clown. “A Thousand Words” is another of his not so cool performances with a terrible script and not much in the way of good comedy. If it wasn’t for a brief 10 minutes in the last act, I would’ve seriously rated this one a “skip it”. In those ten minutes, the three very special words that transcend spiritual turmoil into peace are given meaning to liberating oneself from self – no, not “I love you” – the other three words…..give up? It’s “I forgive you”. I should forgive Eddie for such a crummy overall film; o.k. why not: “Eddie, I forgive you”.
Its funny watching this movie this movie on the 50th anniversary of Beatlemania, it would have been funny if the Beatles had a "Black Album"?
Oh my goodness Eddie Murphy is back and is hilarious in this movie. I could not stop laughing through the whole movie, classic Eddie Murphy!
Don't let the words you use be vain, choose them wisely.
I wasnt expecting much out of this movie, but it was actually pretty good! This movie had a few funny parts in it, but made you think about what you would say if you were down to your last few words and who you would say it to. Overall, a good movie.
