The Words follows young writer Rory Jansen who finally achieves long sought after literary success after publishing the next great American novel. There's only one catch - he didn't write it. As the past comes back to haunt him and his literary star continues to rise, Jansen is forced to confront the steep price that must be paid for stealing another man's work, and for placing ambition and success above life's most fundamental three words.

I put off watching this because of all the terrible reviews out there but I actually really enjoyed it. The Words is a layered romantic drama. A story-within-a-story-within-a-story is the best way I can describe it and its cleverly done, following Bradley Cooper as a struggling writer who finds an old manuscript in a bag and before he knows what he's doing writes the entire thing up on his computer and then passes it off as his own. 'Rory' rockets to fame, credited with writing the next great American novel but experiences a crisis of conscience after meeting the man whose work he stole, in fact life, as we flashback to the real author as a young man and discover his heartbreaking autobiography. Meanwhile a greasy Dennis Quaid has written a book about a famous author stealing another man's work. I think everyone will get something different from this, its layered, engaging and filled with good preformances. A surprise hit for me, I thought about for days afterwards.

A film that shows the power of a good story above all else. Converting that to the screen is another story, and although I love the story and the production, I thought some of the actors overpowered the cast (the old man shines above the other actors, and is great. In fact so good, it's worth watching for his work alone. Lop sided talent on the acting side, but such a great story, and film worth watching. B.K.

Loved the movie. It is very deep and thoroughly engaging. Loved every minute of it. The 3 layers of the movie are beautifully presented. It is definitely a very neat story with excellent screen play. I definitely did not expect the end. The suspense has been woven in very well. I also really liked the message that the story tells, in the words on the old man, when he reflects on the reasons for his pain in life.Amazing performance by all the actors.Surprised the movie was rated bad on rotten tomatoes. Guess, critiques' judgments are not always right. The movie definitely deserves an 8 or more.

I Always write reviews about books I've read .. but this is the first time i write about movie I've seen .. deeply l like it ..maybe because it's reach to something important inside me ..something I can't put it on ''THE WORDS'' ...We all hopes and dreams to be famous people ..successful people, the others listening to us, inspiring from us to becoming The Example to them .. such a beautiful dreams .. but the reality tells us a different world.The words it's a story about three writers, A story inside a story inside a story..A story about young man dreamed to be writer, to be something important, he wrote a book after his daughter pass away and his wife left him.. when he but his pain and joy in a words .. he became what he want, what he dream.. but he lost his book and he never write again ..After so many years another young man also dreamed to be writer, found by coincidence the lost book, simply he stole it and put his name on it, he pretend to be the writer he couldn't be and finally he met the first young man who became old man. The third writer who wrote a stories about another tow men ..Actually the three men they're a same person, all of them want a same things, make mistakes to get what they want, and all of them love the words more anything else, more than their wives, their lives, even more than themselves .. and it was their tragedy.. it was their success and failure The idea of movie is that one can making a terrible mistake in life, continue to live and perhaps even live well with no price to pay.It's pessimistic look to life .. but that what our life truly is.
