A Thousand Words (2012)

He only has 1,000 words left to discover what matters most! 
After stretching the truth on a deal with a spiritual guru, literary agent Jack McCall finds a Bodhi tree on his property. Its appearance holds a valuable lesson on the consequences of every word we speak. Norbit director Brian Robbins re-teams with that film's star, Eddie Murphy, for this comedy about a smooth-talking man who discovers that he has only 1,000 words left to speak before dying.
Eddie Murphy is Jack McCall, a fast-talking literary agent, who can close any deal, any time, any way.  He has set his sights on New Age guru Dr. Sinja (Cliff Curtis) for his own selfish purposes. But 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. Words have never failed Jack McCall, but now he's got to stop talking and conjure up some outrageous ways to communicate or he's a goner.

He starts the film barking demands into his cell phone, then grimacing when his wife, Kerry Washington hands him their toddler. He fakes a phone call from a wife in labor in order to line-jump at Starbucks. He mistreats the little people in his life, like his harried assistant (Clark Duke), who has to tweeze all the non-yellow-moon marshmallows out of his boss’ Lucky Charms. And above all, he talks a blue streak: In a typical bit of let-me-spell-out-the-subtext dialogue, he announces to a staff meeting at his agency, “This is what I do! I can talk anyone into anything!”

Then, after he lies to a placid guru , Cliff Curtis, while ignoring a spiritual message about the value of silence, Murphy becomes magically bonded to a tree, which sheds a leaf for every word he says, or writes, or even communicates. Once it loses all its leaves, Curtis says, it will no doubt die—and Murphy with it. In theory, the resulting enforced silence leads Murphy to understand which words are truly important, and absorb the value of stillness and self-examination. In practice, he mostly learns that if he doesn’t constantly fill the air with chatter, everyone around him, including Washington, Duke, his boss Alison Janney, Starbucks barista Jack " Kenneth the page" McBrayer,   and others will leap to the most idiotic conclusions imaginable about what his huge gestures and silly faces are attempting to convey.

A Thousand Words is a comedy and drama genre movie, directed by Brian Robbins and written by Steve Koren , which is rated PG-13 for some sexual situations including dialogue and drug-related humors.

This movie really looks heartwarming and hilarious with Eddie Murphy, a comedic genius with immense talent. Enjoy this movie and you'll think about what's important in life while having great laughs along the way.

8.  Dignitaries generally are intimidated by eating with their fingers at State dinners.
