In A Thousand Words, Eddie Murphy (Tower Heist) treads similar ground to Jim Carrey in 1997′s Liar Liar.
The comedy movie follows Murphy’s Jack McCall, a fast-talking literary agent who doesn’t mince words when he’s trying to close a deal. For his own selfish reasons, Jack sets his sights on popular New Age guru Dr. Sinja (Cliff Curtis, Colombiana), but his scheme backfires. Sinja connects Jack’s life with a magical Bodhi tree. The more Jack talks, the more leaves the tree loses. And when the tree loses its last leaf, both the tree and Jack will die. Jack comes up with some interesting ways to communicate, but sooner or later, he has to learn what matters most in life.
The movie also stars Kerry Washington (TV’s Scandal), the funny Clark Duke (Hot Tub Time Machine »

'Jack And Jill' Triumphs At The Razzies
2 April 2012 2:13 PM, PDT | FlicksNews.net | See recent FlicksNews.net news »
'Jack And Jill' swept the board at the Razzie awards picking up a record 10 prizes, including worst picture at the the 32nd Golden Raspberries. It is the first time in the 32-year history of the awards that one film has won every category.
Al Pacino, who played himself, won the worst supporting actor award. Sandler was named worst actor and actress for playing both Jack and Jill, a brother and his twin sister.
"He didn't play triplets, but he couldn't have won more awards if he had," said Razzies founder John Wilson.
Sandler unfortunately did not attend the event to collect his record amount of awards.
The film also picked up worst screen ensemble and worst re-make / rip-off - as the film was based on Ed Wood's Glen or Glenda.
Worst screen couple went to Sandler and either himself, Katie Holmes or Al Pacino.

Adam Sandler's 'Jack And Jill' Makes Historic Sweep Of The Razzies
2 April 2012 7:43 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Not that it will stop Adam Sandler from continuing to make increasingly shitacular movies, but it is kind of nice to finally see his cinematic abominations get recognized for the truly awful pieces of filmmaking they are.
Yesterday, appropriately on April Fool's Day, the Razzies handed out their statues for the best of the worst, and "Jack And Jill" swept the ceremony winning an award in every category. It was the first time in the history of Razzies that the feat was accomplished. So, congratulations Sandler, Dennis Dugan (who also won for "directing" "Just Go With It"), Al Pacino, Katie Holmes and everyone else -- you are now a part of a movie that will forever go down as one of the worst in movie history....until "Grown Ups 2."
Anyway, take a look below at the categories and see the hall of shame in all its glory. [24 Frames]

Adam Sandler's 'Jack and Jill' sweeps the 2011 Razzie Awards
1 April 2012 11:36 PM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
The 32nd Annual Razzie Awards observed several momentous firsts Sunday night. The celebration of the worst in filmmaking held its Santa Monica, Calif. ceremony on April 1 — i.e. April Fools Day — for the first time, breaking from its tradition of presenting its honors on the night before the Academy Awards. And for the first time in Razzie history, one film “won” every single Golden Raspberry handed out: Jack and Jill.
Yup, the Adam Sandler comedy about an ad exec (Sandler) and his obnoxious sister (also Sandler) earned Worst Picture, Actor, Actress, Director, Screenplay, and even the “Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel” award. »

'Jack and Jill' predicted to sweep Razzies
29 March 2012 5:31 AM, PDT | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »
"Jack and Jill," the Adam Sandler gender-bending comedy, is predicted to win seven of the 10 races at the Razzie Awards on April Fool's Day. Sandler, who has prevailed with just of his nine previous Razzie bids (Worst Actor: "Big Daddy," 1999), is expected to take home four prizes on Sunday. Our Editors and Users expect his limpid laffer to claim Worst Picture, Actor, Actress (both Sandler), Supporting Actor (Al Pacino), Director (Dennis Dugan), Screenplay (Sandler, Ben Zook, Steve Koren) and Couple (Sandler with himself, Pacino or Katie Holmes). Holmes is in a battle for Worst Supporting Actress with one-time underwear model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley who has a slight edge (at odds of 5 to 4) for her film debut in "Transformers: Dark of the Moon." "Jack and Jill" is also likely to lose Worst Remake/Rip-off/Sequel to "Breaking Dawn: Part 1," the fourth film in the "Twilight" franchise which has odds »
A Thousand Words review
12 March 2012 12:02 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
How bad can an Eddie Murphy vehicle that's sat on the shelf for years actually be? Here's Ron's review of A Thousand Words...
Jack McCall (Eddie Murphy) is a very successful man. He's some sort of agent by trade - I believe it's literary - with a beautiful wife (Kerry Washington), an adorable little baby boy, and an awesome house in the hills of what appears to be Los Angeles. He's got the life, that's for sure, but he's always looking for more.
In this case, McCall's next big score is with a New Age nondenomination spiritual guru named Dr. Sinja (Cliff Curtis) who has millions of followers. McCall knows he has a book, and even though McCall never reads more than 10 pages of one, he knows dollar signs are there for the taking. So, Jack pursues Sinja to his ashram, disrupts some pleasant meditation with a brief Michael Jackson interlude, »
6 Eddie Murphy movies to see instead of 'A Thousand Words'
9 March 2012 4:26 PM, PST | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
Let's face it. Things are not looking good for Eddie Murphy's new movie, "A Thousand Words." In fact, the guy has long since reached the point in his career where the craptastic movies outnumber the classics.
Penned by "Jack & Jill" scribe Steve Koren and produced, in party, by Nicolas Cage, "A Thousand Words" was already somewhat doomed. But now that critics have seen it, any chance of the movie actually not stinking has pretty much been eliminated. "Drivel" is how one film critic described Murphy's latest outing -- which was actually made in 2008 -- and it scored the elusive perfectly imperfect score of 0 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.
We don't even want to tell you what its about lest the stink rub off on the six awesome Eddie Murphy movies we recommend as alternate viewing:
1. "Dreamgirls" (2006):
2. "Coming to America" (1988):
3. "Beverly Hills Cop" (1984):
4. "Trading Places" (1983):
5. "48 Hrs." (1984): »

Film Review: Nothing Nice to Say About Eddie Murphy’s Awful Comedy ‘A Thousand Words’
9 March 2012 8:15 AM, PST | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – The movie business is a funny thing in that Everyone involved with “A Thousand Words” has moved on and yet there are studio executives who still want you to care enough to open your wallet. Who didn’t care before you? The writers who delivered once of the worst scripts in years, the director who proved that his pedestrian work on “Norbit” and “Meet Dave” was the pinnacle of his abilities, and the producers who let this cinematic crime get even more stale than when it was shot. (For a fun drinking game, count the dated jokes from “Chili’s Baby Back Ribs” to Britney Spears’ tabloid life in a film that was shot in 2008). Everyone involved left it behind. Why should you care? Only the most masochistic connoisseurs of the truly awful need check it out.
Rating: 0.5/5.0
With a ridiculous plot that will make you long for the subtlety of “Liar, »

Eddie Murphy Hilariously Plays Charade in New 'Thousand Words' Clip
8 March 2012 10:08 PM, PST | icelebz.com | See recent iCelebz news »
A few days before it opens in the U.S. theaters, Eddie Murphy's "A Thousand Words" has unveiled a brand new clip. Entitled "Chalkboard", the fresh sneak peek revolves around the scene where Murphy's character Jack struggles to tell Clark Duke's Aaron the reason why he couldn't say a word.
In this comedy movie, Jack is a fast-talking literary agent, who can close any deal, any time and any way. He has set his sights on New Age guru Dr. Sinja for his own selfish purposes. However, Dr. Sinja is on to him, and Jack's life comes unglued after a magical Bodhi tree mysteriously appears in his backyard.
With every word Jack speaks, a leaf falls from the tree and he realizes that when the last leaf falls, both he and the tree are toast. While words have never failed Jack, he now has got to stop talking »
Eddie Murphy's 'Thousand Words' Should Shut Up
8 March 2012 3:12 PM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
-- In the opening sequence of "A Thousand Words," Eddie Murphy starts with his back to the camera then turns abruptly to reveal a strip of duct tape over his mouth.
A very good idea, if the once hip fast-talker of "Beverly Hills Cop" is going to continue using hollow, stumbling comedies such as this as his mouthpiece to the world.
The notion of taking away motor-mouth Murphy's ability to spew words sounds like a bizarre filmmaking choice until you encounter the obnoxious clown he plays here, boorish literary agent and inattentive family man Jack McCall. He's so annoying you'll be aching for the moment the action comes around to that opening image when the duct tape gets slapped over Jack's mouth. That would be so he'll hold his tongue after a bodhi tree magically appears in his backyard and begins losing leaves each time he utters a word, and »

Adam Sandler breaks record with 11 Razzie nominations

Us comic outdoes Eddie Murphy's 2007 record with 11 nods for awards recognising year's worst performances
A day after the Oscars claimed to highlight 2011's best movies, Adam Sandler has received a record-breaking 11 nominations for the annual Razzie awards, which aim to recognise the year's poorest performances in film.
Sandler's haul is more than double the previous individual record of five nods held by Eddie Murphy for his 2007 film Norbit, a fairly staggering indictment. Most of the nominations are for the Us comic's film Jack and Jill, in which he plays a successful advertising executive whose irritating twin sister arrives for Thanksgiving. The comedy, which itself has 12 nods, will duke it out with The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1, which has eight nominations. Sandler himself is up for both worst actor and worst actress, worst screenplay and worst ensemble for Jack and Jill. With his production company Happy Madison having released »
