Slow and predictable

Well acted, but very slow and predictable. Kept waiting for something unexpected to happen, but it never did. Save your money and wait for it to be released to HBO, etc.
Pros great actors
Cons slow
No, I do not recommend this movie.

The Words delivered much more than expected for a PG-13 rated movie. While this film is wholesome, it is anything but boring. Woven through the fabric of this interesting story is a unique view of life-choices, human flaws, regrets and consequences from adult perspectives. One of the best shows I've seen in a long time.

I had high hopes for this film with the great actors, but I was a bit disappointed by the story. It was just not quite there. The story was just a bit flat for me. Compared to what's out there, it isn't too bad, but I think they could have done more with it.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

The basic story - plagerism and its consequences - was an interesting twist on a classic moral struggle. The "why he did it" was believable, as the desire to succeed and to be perceived as a success, is a temptation that is hard to resist, especially when the odds of getting caught cheating are slim-to-none. This part of the movie was compelling.
What didn't work was the portion of the film that dealt with the over-complication of another author supposedly reading this story as if he had written it himself. There was no "ah-ha" moment that followed in this storyline, and so, the pay-off was absent. The scenes with Dennis Quaid and Olivia Wilde seemed as if they were shot by a different director and cinematographer - almost jarring, as they take you out of the "real story". While you have to applaud the effort of the writer to make a clever script, this part could have been eliminated in its entirety.
Acting-wise: Bradley Cooper and Zoe Saldana are a gorgeous couple, and their on-screen chemistry was sexy and classy.
Ultimately, worth seeing. A great conversation-starter re ethics and consequences.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This movie offered a totally new and unique perspective on plagiarism and the long term consequences. Along the way , we witness at least two poignant love stories, one poignant old man, and a tale of irony that is so unusual as to be totally unique.
Do not believe the silly critics who say this story is told to journalism students. This story has never been told before.
This movie was so well written, so well cast, so well directed, so well acted, and so well scored that it can only be characterized as a true "MASTERPIECE".
Pros well paced, great story, great actors, lovely score, no cons
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I was warned this movie got bad reviews from Rotten Tomatoes, but I found it enjoyable, suspenseful and memorable. The acting was excellent, and the storyline, moving, and relatable. Life is full of decisions and the consequences of them. This story helps us to analyze the long term lessons and regrets we all face in our decisions. How our decisions don't just impact us, but our families and beyond. It is one of the unique gems that has a message about integrity woven within, which is rare find in our day. Loved it and highly recommend seeing!

I went not knowing what to expect, and left 100% entertained. It was so nice to watch a movie where the dialogue was understandable, the plot was interesting, and the actors were excellent. Olivia Wilde in a roll that is perfect for her (and her amazing eyes), Jeremy Irons was amazing, it was an academy award sleeper, you heard it here 1st

The ending left you thinking good and bad. If they made Olivia Wilde more of a character instead of a groopie...and lingered more on the photo in the book...it would have been better. The last sceen needed a rewrite but the rest of the movie was very very well done.
Pros great story

I didn't know much about this movie going into it. I knew it was about a writer who finds an old book and passes it off as his own. However, that's just a small part of this intricately woven story of love and the profession of writing and storytelling. First, there's the past: an American GI in Paris falls in loves and experiences some truly difficult relationship traumas. He temporarily separates from his wife and pours his heart out on the page and completes a terrifically personal novel. The next storyline is the story within another book, which is essentially the main storyline of the movie where a writer passes that American GI's novel as his own, sells it, and it becomes a huge seller. The original author, the American GI, shows up to confront the fraud to further advance the story. Finally, the third and final layer, which serves to tie all the stories together, is of another author telling both stories, the one of the American GI and the fraud, as the author of yet another novel. It sounds like it could be difficult to follow along, but it's really not. The pace is enjoyable and suspenseful and it all just works well.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors

Sweet and entertaining but also thought provoking.

Bradley Cooper plays Rory Jensen who perpetrates a writer. While on his honeymoon in Paris, his new bride (Zoe Saldana) purchases an old leather satchel for Rory as a gift. Hidden in one of the pockets of the satchel is an old manuscript.
Rory finds this manuscript and reworks the story a bit. It is then published and becomes a best seller. The original writer (Jeremy Irons) of the manuscript recognizes his tragedic story. He finds Rory and tells him the details of his story and Rory then realizes he made a HUGH mistake in publishing the manuscript as his own work. The story unfolds from there...
"The Words" is a very boring movie. There are a lot of heavy hitters in the movie, but none of them resconate on the big screen. The movie is disjointed and contains a lot of holes.
I found "The Words" to be a complete waste of money.
Cons slow, boring
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Continuously intriguing but ultimately only semi-satisfying. It has a lot going in its favor...(but) the payoff isn't as good or effective as it could and should have been. Still, I can recommend it to moviegoers hungry for thought-provoking fare. A strong drama that may seem simple at first, but it's likely to leave you wondering whether what you watched was real or whether the various stories were all just layers of fiction. A must see.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
