The rest of the 71 minutes tests one&#8217;s patience though; as they must suffer through Eddie Murphy looking constipated, and sadly, not being funny.<\/p>\n<p>Can someone please find out what happened to R-rated Murphy?  We received glimpses of his great comedic timing and delivery in the less-than-desirable <em>Tower Heist<\/em>.  But why won&#8217;t the guy fully embrace what he is marvelous at anymore?  It&#8217;s the same question that is\/was asked about Adam Sandler, Jim Carrey, and every other edgy comedian that sold-out.  With Eddie Murphy, it makes what heavy-metalers Metallica did back in the late &#8217;90s (cut their hair, neutered their sound for a couple albums, sued Napster) seem much ado about nothing. <\/p>\n<p>Getting back on task, harmless and useless is an appropriate way to describe this flick.  Granted the number of technical flaws coincide with the movie&#8217;s title, yet it&#8217;s not completely painful to endure.  And the supporting acting, which is spot-on, from the entire cast actually carries Eddie Murphy to the finish line instead of the other way around.  Now while this seems like another shot at Murphy &#8211; and it may be &#8211; his biggest blunder was choosing this project.  Actually, Jim Carrey might have been the ideal choice for this since it uses similar angles seen in <em>Liar, Liar<\/em>.  Having said that, the real problem is that this is not a story for the big-screen (or any screen for that matter).  Whomever read this script and thought this would work as a film needs to go back and visit their guidance counselor and ask them to re-evaluate their career aptitudes.  And I fully expect some wise-ass reader to use that last line against me in the comment section.<\/p>\n<p>Again, aside from the last 20 minute, there is no feeling to this at all.  There is no laughter, no remorse, no sadness; simply because the screenplay is scatter-brained.  Then all of a sudden, wham-O, a slap of substance quickly flies in and the cliched resolute ending is upon the audience.  Next time folks, perhaps making this a short film would have been the wiser choice.  This would be a great novel or self-help book, but not a cinematic product.<\/p>\n<p>The gimmick of Eddie Murphy being unable to speak through the majority of this is also comedic suicide.  That&#8217;s what the guy does people, whether it&#8217;s R-rated or toned down!  And you can comeback and say, &#8220;that&#8217;s why it is so funny.&#8221;  Sure; if you&#8217;re sitting around in Murphy&#8217;s living-room and just hypothesizing on &#8220;what if&#8217;s.&#8221;  But in no way should this ever reach concept form and then be transitioned into a feature length film.  <\/p>\n<p>Overall, <em>A Thousand Words<\/em> is just taking up space in theaters.  Just as Murphy&#8217;s character states in the film, when describing his job as a high-powered book agent: Just read the first 5 pages (minutes) and then read the last 5 pages (well, 20 minutes) and you find out everything you need to know.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Technical:  F<\/p>\n<p>Story:  D<\/p>\n<p>Acting:  C+<\/p>\n<p>Overall:  D<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_87676\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-87676\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/A-THOUSAND-WORDS.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/A-THOUSAND-WORDS.jpg\" alt=\"A Thousand Words\" title=\"A Thousand Words\" width=\"500\" class=\"size-full wp-image-87676\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/A-THOUSAND-WORDS.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/A-THOUSAND-WORDS-300x242.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-87676\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">As the Metallica song goes, &quot;Sad but True.&quot;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: A Thousand Words Director: Brian Robbins Starring: Eddie Murphy, Cliff Curtis, Kerry Washington, Clarke Duke, Allison Janney Despite the storytelling methods being all-over the place; the last 20 of the 91 minutes of A Thousand Words has a decent message.
