Movie Reviewer Andy McKinney has some choice words for "A Thousand Words"

2 1/2

Movie reviewer McKinney says we are in the doldrums of the movie year

             Andy says, "A Thousand Words is a lukewarm comedy/drama that can best be enjoyed by fans of Eddie Murphy's classic manic comedy style.

            "All in all, this is only average or a little less.  We should think of A Thousand Words as a mathematically average 2 1/2 Saw Blade film. 

            "The people are never wrong (although critics are often wrong).  The optimistic producers spent a whopping $40 million, somehow, on making this film.  Wise members of the viewing public have squandered a mere $18 million in five weeks at the box office.  I think the public wants to see genuinely good films and is prepared to pay for the privilege, but won’t put out much cash for the mediocre."
