Thanks for the memories!

Really Surprised!

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

I could only sit through a half hour of this. Eddie Murphy has to watch a trailer for make up with sexual innuendos. A woman gives oral sex to a banana. Another sticks her tongue under 2 cherries like they are breasts. Then, in the half hour period, Eddie Murphy had sex with 2 different women-one being an old woman-Eartha Kitt. So,for Disney fans, Mushu has sex with Yzma! And there is little in between to enjoy. I turned it off and watched Mean Girls for the first time instead. That was WAY more entertaining-and I am a guy! So, in summary, see Mean Girls, not this!

Boomerang is one of the best examples of a movie that while watching it, it's to some extent ultimately unsatisfying, though nearly intentionally so for bettering the viewing, as it never fully fulfills your desirability towards the story or toward the characters, but it keeps you invested, and the movie ultimately sticks with you, leaving you yearning for more, kinda like, the characters themselves know that they're on the very verge of something greater in their lives and right now they're just messing around having some fun in the moment and you're there enjoying their experiences with them but you want to head to that better place too.Boomerang remains really appealing for its stylish, sophisticated, sexy, down-to-earth, kick-back vibe. It has just enough comedy with just enough romance. It's hip, it's smart, it's sweet, it's funny, it's freaky, and it's an original piece of film.Boomerang teaches you the way of a gentleman player, and as you enjoy it, it really pushes you to fantasize about your own love life. There's no pressing plot line, there's just a strong emotional attachment to the characters who all kinda kick it through the whole movie, making it very relatable. Eddie Murphy knew the vision he had in mind. Eddie came up with the story, saying he'd wanted to do that type of character; Murphy played a similar role in The Distinguished Gentlemen that same year, 1992. Murphy makes the movie as Marcus. In playing Marcus, Murphy tones down his comedic talents and timing in an interpret understanding that the character, Marcus, isn't as funny as he is. This is brilliant for the movie. If Murphy had went out on a high note on all of his funnier moments, which he could have easily done, Boomerang would have had a too cheesy comedic element, and it would have lost its smooth and suave attractiveness. Robin Givens is great, really great for the viewing. Do you understand that Givens is great for the viewing? David Alan Grier and Martin Lawrence are both so hilarious, if you don't know, and their characters are a lot of funny too. Halle Berry is amazing, so really sweet. She seems most at ease as Angela, a fine part for her, as Angela may be Halle's one character closest to her real live self. Halle Berry is the finest woman ever. Chris Rock and Tisha Campbell are good and funny and strengthen the movie with their small supporting parts.Boomerang is a good movie to just let go and enjoy it. It's sexy and it's real. Boomerang has a strong cultural click. Boomerang, Boomerang, Boomerang, Boom-Boomerang, Boomerang, Boomerang, I really love this movie. Can't you tell?

I don't understand the meaning of the title (probably relating to throwing something away, and getting it back), but I recognised many of the African American stars in this film, and I enjoyed the fair amount. Basically Marcus Graham (Eddie Murphy) is a successful advertising executive, and also a hit with the ladies (womaniser). After a company merger he finds that his new boss, ravishing Jacqueline 'Jackie'/'Jack' Broyer (Robin Givens, former wife of Mike Tyson), she is treating him the same way he would. He thought he was in love with her, and for a while he was (presumably), and his work is going downhill, but then later he starts dating her more quietly attractive assistant Angela (Halle Berry), who was dating one of his best friends. In the end, after some negative turns and rejection, the eventually get back together, and they (supposedly) live happily ever after. I can definitely agree with the critics that Grace Jones as Helen Strangé and The Emperor's New Groove's Eartha Kitt as Lady Eloise give the film a buzz. Jones being, well, herself (putting on a French accent) is funny taking her knickers off in public, and demanding sex with Murphy, and saying "pussy" a lot, and Kitt with her funny nymphomaniac (desperate for sex) character, really husky voice, and sexy legs and body (even here 65, she's still foxy). Also starring Jumanji's David Alan Grier as Gerard Jackson, Martin Lawrence (just before his breakthrough in Bad Boys) as Tyler, Live and Let Die's Geoffrey Holder as Nelson, young Chris Rock (not long before he started stand-up comedy) as Bony T, Tisha Campbell as Yvonne and Lela Rochon as Christie. Sure, it's slightly long, but don't let that sway you. Worth watching!

BOOMERANG is one of the best Eddie Murphy movies I have ever seen. I laughed really hard when Marcus (Eddie Murphy) said, "Kirby!" In my opinion, all the women looked very beautiful in the dressy clothing they wore, especially Christie (Lela Rochon) and Jacqueline (Robin Givens). Another thing that made me laugh were the confrontations between Marcus and Yvonne (Tisha Campbell). I especially loved Tyler (Martin Lawrence). His act was really funny. It was funny, but a little crude. This movie was very sexy, seductive, witty, glamorous, and hilarious in my opinion. In conclusion, I recommend this movie to anyone who's a fan of Eddie Murphy. You're in for a real treat and a lot of laughs, so go to the video store, rent it or buy it, kick back with a friend, and watch it.
