12) A Thousand Words (2012)

This comedy-drama has Eddie Murphy playing a talking literary agent who one day comes to be rendered speechless after a meeting with a bizarre tree. The movie tries for a mix of analysis of communication and self-discovery, but forgets about the theme in its forced humour and uneven tone. The critics didn't like it, stating that Murphy was not charmed in this one and that it was a pretty dumb movie.
The most predictable plot does not create emotional involvement for the viewer; therefore, audiences are never satisfied with this movie. "A Thousand Words" eventually was a forgettable film in Murphy's career, evidence that nothing novel had been created in storytelling.
