“..you have to spend the rest of the movie watching Murphy play charades..”
by Barbara VanDenburgh [Arizona Republic]
“..this one does, until it runs out of ideas and forgets whether it's a comedy or a drama..”
by Peter Howell [Toronto Star]
“..this film is squarely in the quality league of those four gems, although its product placement is so galling you wait for the punch line..”
by Michael Phillips [Chicago Tribune]
“..the rest of the film amounts to a feature-length game of charades..”
by Justin Chang [Variety]
“..the concept is unoriginal, the scenarios aren't funny, and its message is banal..”
by Claudia Puig [USA Today]
“..that none of Murphy's frantic poses are funny is a problem, but then, neither were Jim Carrey's forced-truth outbursts in the similar "Liar, Liar"..”
by Joe Neumaier [New York Times]

“..it's a ready-made blueprint for mediocrity that brings new meaning to "That goes without saying" and is perhaps better left without having actually been seen..”

“..It makes you want to see Murphy team up with Judd Apatow, or even take on a deadly serious dramatic role - do anything but star in another movie like this one..”

“..it makes such questions unnecessary, even for the most addled audience members..”
by Tasha Robinson [AV Club]
“..inoffensive, unsurprising and uninspiring..”
by Andy Webster [New York Times]
“..in a most obvious way, then, the movie's central gimmick is unnecessary..”
by Mark Dujsik [Mark Reviews Movies]
“..for a comedy about the quest for inner peace, A Thousand Words reeks of desperation..”
by Liam Lacey [Globe and Mail]
“..felt sorry for the actor while watching him mug and grunt and make googly eyes, only to be greeted by the sound of crickets chirping..”
by Rene Rodriguez [Miami Herald]
“..doesn’t manage to exploit the absurd premise with any discernible wit or invention, and the star is left floundering..”
by Frank Scheck [Hollywood Reporter]
“..but Murphy doesn't need any more movies like this, if he's ever going to really revive his career..”
by Stephen Whitty [Newark Star-Ledger]
“..a rip-off of another movie..”
by Kyle Smith [New York Post]
