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.

In Boomerang Eddie Murphy straitjackets himself in an ill-fitting comedy vehicle that's desperately in need of a reality check.

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.

The film is far too slick to be ineffective, but its attempts to play with the sex-war theme are often unbelievably crass.

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.

Aug 24, 2010The story of a womanizer Marcus (Eddie Murphy) who is a notorious player that dumps his victims after getting them in the sack. He finally meets his match when Jacqueline Broyer (Robin Givens) comes into his life. Meanwhile Angela (Halle Berry) is nuts about him, but he doesn't know she's alive. Hilarious performance from Martin Lawrence and Chris Rock! There is a true lesson to be learned here, sometimes The Player get played!Deb S Super Reviewer

May 11, 2009Eddie Murphy plays Marcus Graham, a hotshot ad exec who's also an insatiable womanizer. He is thus hardly prepared for his new boss, Jacqueline, played by Robin Givens. In terms of things romantic, Jacqueline is nothing more or less than a female version of Marcus -- and now, for the first time, he's getting the runaround. Boomerang boasts supporting-cast contributions from Halle Berry, David Alan Grier, Martin Lawrence, Grace Jones, Eartha Kitt, Geoffrey Holder, and Melvin Van Peebles. Watch closely and you'll see director Reginald Hudlin in a bit role.Martin D Super Reviewer

Apr 02, 2009LOVE this movie! Definitely a classic, and definitely one of Eddie Murphy's better movies. This film should make men appreciate that double standards almost always sway to their advantage. Oh, and Grace Jones is the business!Remi L Super Reviewer
