Review of A Thousand Words (2012) by Leonard P B — 25 Jan 2014

While in Afganisatan I accidently saw this movie starring Eddie Murphy on Armed Forces Network. I was astonished. The normally trash talking , loud mouth persona was replaced by a serious actor in a well thought plot and uplifting story.

I watched the movie and would be glad to take my family and children to see this. I am a student of history and am reminded of a similar movie that was at first ignored. It was produced in the WWII era and starred Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed.

Initially reported as a flop by the critics of the day. It is now recognized as a beloved and classic movie, "Its a wonderfull life." This movie a Thousand Words will be a lasting tribute to Eddie Murphy and is the only potential classic movie I have seen in recent times.

Dont listen to the critics, see for your self. This is a wonderfull movie that will inspire you to do good and I congratulate Mr. Murphy on his role! From Afganistan LTC Bennett, US Army.
