marcrhodes-79310 I can't believe that this gem of a movie is rated 5.4! This is about as complete of a love story as I've ever seen. There's the guy looking for perfection. You have the perfect woman, physically, who always gets the guy. You have the sweet girl who likes the guy. Of course at some point the guy gets the perfect woman only to find out she's not perfect. Then he gets the not-so-perfect sweet girl who he likes but doesn't love. So they break up and he realizes at the climax that she is everything he wants and that he does love her. Then at the end they end up together. If that's not a happily ever after, then what is? Mixed with excellent acting and comedy, this movie should at least be an 8.0. But I'm sure if you consider who the critics are, white males, you'll understand why a movie this good with an almost all black cast was given the shaft. Shame on these critics! Eddie Murphy can't win when the deck is stacked against his favor no matter what he does. Not to mention that it boasted a RECORD BREAKING, AWARD WINNING #1 song. Criticism truly is for those who can't do so they become critics.

Newsense Man has this movie aged well. Boomerang was crass, raunchy, vulgar and funny as hell to boot. It was Eddie Murphy in top form just the way we like him.Plot/story: Marcus Graham(Eddie Murphy) is a marketing executive with a player mentality who meets his match with a gorgeous boss by the name of Jacqueline(Robin Givens). Marcus eventually tries to cope after getting p-whipped and played by Jacqueline.Opinion: Boomerang was funny as hell back then as it is funny now. The interactions between Eddie Murphy, David Alan Grier and Martin Lawrence characters are funny as hell. Grace Jones's character Strange' is a riot. I still lmao at the restaurant scene where Strange' loudly proclaims her favorite part of the female anatomy 20 times in front of everybody. Eartha Kitt's Lady Eloise is a hoot also. John Weatherspoon is just as funny as David Alan Grier's character's father. Boomerang works because it doesn't just rely on the comics being funny alone(like most comedies do). Its material is funny in its raunchiness and the chemistry between everybody works. I would strongly recommend this movie any day over the recent busts that Eddie Murphy has starred in. 5 stars.Rest In Peace Eartha Kitt.

Isaac5855 One of Eddie Murphy's best performances in one of his least seen films was the 1992 winner BOOMERANG. This smart and sophisticated romantic comedy stars Eddie as Marcus Graham, a womanizing advertising executive who loves the thrill of the chase where women are concerned, but once he has completed the chase, he is ready to move on. His sexual exploits have made him the center of his circle of friends (Martin Lawrence, a paranoid racist, and David Alan Grier, an insecure milquetoast)who live vicariously through him and admire his style as the ultimate player. Everything changes for Marcus when he acquires a new boss named Jacqueline (Robin Givens), Marcus is enamored of Jacqueline, but is completely thrown by the fact that Jacqueline is a female version of himself, a player who avoids commitment and uses Marcus when it is convenient for her. Throw into the mix another co-worker of Marcus named Angela (Halle Berry) who is nuts about him, but he doesn't know she's alive. Everything works here and it is so refreshing to see a movie with a predominately black cast where the characters are people with brains and real jobs. Murphy exudes mass amounts of sex appeal in one of his best roles and Halle Berry, though allegedly playing a plain Jane, just couldn't come off that way if she tried. There are some wonderful comic bits contributed along the way by Grace Jones, Geoffrey Holder, Tisha Campbell, and the legendary Eartha Kitt, memorable as an aging cosmetics queen with the hots for Marcus. A winning and original take on the Battle of the Sexes that is entertaining from start to finish.

Enter_x This is my favorite Eddie Murphy movie, it had me laughing from beginning to end, especially the Thanksgiving scene, John Witherspoon is a fool, "BANG, BANG, BANG" though I already knew that when I seen him in Hollywood Shuffle, remember "Winky Dinky Hoe Cakes"? However, I had a problem with how Marcus played Christie, I have a peculiar foot fetish, had that been me and seen those corns on her feet, I would've had those toes in my mouth, but that's another story, anywayz, I also enjoy seeing Halle in that movie back when she was a real sister. I can't front though, I took some pointers from that movie on how to be romantic, without being chauvinistic. Martin Lawrence was in pure form, so was David Allan Grier, "I'd have f**ked him up if he try that karate s**t" as a matter of fact, I'n going to watch it when I get home today, we'll never see Eddie that funny again, I just wish that he would go back to his roots and do stand-up again. All in all, Boomerang is in the top 5 of my all time favorite movies.
