In <span class="italic">Tower Heist</span>, Eddie Murphy seemed energized and pumped and poised for a comeback. In <span class="italic">A Thousand Words</span>, the actor smashes all those hopes to bits. Forget it. The dream is dead. The only reason this dumb, insulting comedy won’t permanently derail Murphy’s career is that few people will ever be forced to sit through it outside of transatlantic flights and interrogation rooms at Guantanamo Bay.

- A Thousand Words movie review (2012) | Roger Ebert
What "A Thousand Words" needs is some sort of a mystical score card to keep track of Jack's status in the universe. The guru who wrote the book, Dr. Sinja (Cliff Curtis), apparently knows something about this bodhi tree, but never explains the rules. When Jack finally apparently redeems himself, it seems to be by instinct or good luck.
