This movie has a charming Eddie Murphy, a slick and grown-up comedian. Most of his movies have no trace of this man.

Reviews for Boomerang
It's not even funny. Nor does it contain half the wit or charm as the old Doris Day sex comedies it so resembles. In fact, it's downright mean-spirited toward women, as is Murphy's wont.

Givens, Lawrence and Berry all put in enjoyable performances, and while Murphy can no longer match those memorable early roles, he's on good form here.

The general idea is to exploit a certain amount of role reversal, and Reginald Hudlin, who directed House Party, does a fairly good job of making this fun.

Top CriticWhatever [Murphy] was thinking during the dark days of his career slump, it seems to have paid off handsomely.

A witless, sexist, offensive mishmash that is surprisingly inept, considering all the high-power talent involved.

Then there's the input from Warrington and Reginald Hudlin, producer and director respectively, who succeed in creating a comedy which, unusually for a Murphy film, also exists around him.

Silly. Simple. Eddie was better than this.

There's something paradoxical about the ease he radiates in playing a man who is supposed to be a smashing success. As an underdog, Mr. Murphy worked much harder.

For all the sex talk in Boomerang, there's very little nudity. The only thing naked is Murphy's vanity.
