A Thousand Words starring Eddie Murphy, and Allison Janney is reviewed by Christy Lemire (AP critic and host of Ebert Presents At the Movies, check your local PBS listings) Ben Mankiewicz (host of Turner Classic Movies), Alonso Duralde (TheWrap.com and Linoleum Knife podcast) and Matt Atchity (Editor-in-chief Rottentomatoes.com). See what other critics are saying http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/a-thousand-words/ Eddie Murphy is Jack McCall, 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 (Cliff Curtis) 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. With every word Jack speaks, a leaf falls from the tree and he realizes that when the last leaf falls, both he and the tree are toast. Words have never failed Jack McCall, but now he's got to stop talking and conjure up some outrageous ways to communicate or he's a goner. -- (C) Paramount Support What The Flick?! for FREE by doing your Amazon shopping through this link (bookmark it!) http://www.amazon.com/?tag=whattheflick-20
