I enjoyed the movie. I love Eddie Murphy's acting, but would love for him to get better roles. The plot was very interesting and the message... g to take away and ponder. Beautiful ending. Full Review

I enjoyed the movie. Various funny parts and the movie had a good message. Not Eddies best but better than some of his movies.

Critic Reviews

The director, Brian Robbins, perhaps as a result of his prime-time pedigree, has so carefully engineered this manipulative machine that little emotional residue remains - only a product inoffensive, unsurprising and uninspiring.Full Review

The New York Times

The formulaic script by Steve Koren doesn't manage to exploit the absurd premise with any discernible wit or invention, and the star is left floundering.Full Review

Frank Scheck
The Hollywood Reporter

If only this Eddie Murphy flick had taken its own advice and spent a little more time being reflective instead of hyperactive, it might have overcome a trite script and awful, obvious excuses for comedy.Full Review

New York Daily News

The poster art for A Thousand Words shows Eddie Murphy with duct tape over his mouth, which as a promotional idea ranks right up there with Fred Astaire in leg irons.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

The concept is unoriginal, the scenarios aren't funny, and its message is banal. Plus, Murphy alternately hams it up and phones it in.Full Review
