" Silly comedy whose plot comedian Eddie Murphy obliges in a pantomime role, which he has not grown. Annoying are primarily the crude esotericism and the breaks in the narrative logic. "

" The purification of Schnatterers one may accept as inevitable, but the way there you could make funny. Robbins and Murphy do it, silly so uninspired to stay that after half an hour would like to rise with the leaf blower on the screen and speed things up. "

"Well, Murphy pulls out of necessity when it comes to making faces with Jim Carrey same. If he makes calls using Voice game characters, which is nice to look at. But in the long run it acts tough when writer Steve Koren and director Brian Robbins ( Smallville ') of Gag would have had to shimmy to gag. Times the film seems to have a serious approach, but uses the sledgehammer method to the audience saying, Speech is silver, silence is gold to get ' closer. Then again, trying to be A Thousand Words ' funny. Ultimately, none of the works two ideas. "
