Jack McCall is 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 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.
This is a formula movie across the board. If you saw the trailer - you pretty much saw the movie. Eddie Murphy plays the same character that he has played a bazillion times at this point. It's not that the movie is necessarily bad. It's just the same old $hit.
I wouldn't really recommend anyone rushing to get this or much less pay to watch it. You can pretty much wait to catch this one in passing on cable at some point if you have absolutely nothing else to do.
