A Thousand Words

(2012)Directed by Brian Robbins91 min · PG-13Drama, Comedy, Fantasy
“He only has 1000 words left to discover what matters the most.”

Jack McCall (Eddie Murphy) is a literary agent who talks his way into every deal and has set his sights on the New Age guru Dr. Sinja (Cliff Curtis) for purely selfish reasons. Then a Bodhi tree appears in his backyard, and Brian Robbins has it drop one leaf for each word Jack speaks. When the last leaf falls, both the tree and Jack are finished, and he has to find some other way to say what he means.
