A Thousand Words (2012)
IMDB- 4.5
Rotten Tomatoes-0
RJG Rating- 10
A book agent has his fast talking ways curbed when a tree pops up on his lawn.
Starring- Eddie Murphy
Director- Brian Robbins
With last years Tower Heist ,Eddie Murphy seemed to have broken his
jinx of totally crap movies.But hes back with another worthless movie ,A
Thousand Word.This was made way back in 2008 and got released this
year.Any movie with such a long delay is already doomed.
Eddie
Murphy is the only recognizable star.And he is awful.All his comic
antics fall flat and its a pain watching such a comic veteran reaching
such low standards.
The story has a concept but it has no idea
with what its going with.It doesnt offer much common sense into the
behavior of the main lead.For example a tree magically pops up in the
front lawn and the couple living there doesnt even take notice of
it.Many a times its hard to reason with the choices the characters
make.There is a long list of mindless scenes.The movie is also highly
predictable.It isnt the first time we have seen a rude/egoistic hero
being cursed ,suffers the curse in a lot of funny scenes and towards the
end learns his mistake.Whatever message the story wanted to get across
is heavily obscured thanks to Eddie.
Direction is very
poor.Eddie Murphy is known for his style of talking very fast,but in a
movie which has no other attraction,Brian Robbins decides its better to
keep Eddie shut for the entire second half.Towards the end he is
confused whether he started off with a comedy movie and suddenly the
movie takes a turn for the dramatics.And it isnt the usual "comic-hero
realizes his mistakes and turns serious to learn his mistakes",this is
complete u-turn into hyper drama.
The movie failed to even recover half its budget of 40million.Just give this movie a miss,its not worth the time.
