Product Description:
A manhattan playboy gets a new corporate boss and she treats him the way he has always treated women.Studio: Paramount Home VideoRelease Date: 05/17/2005Starring: Eddie Murphy Tisha CampbellRun time: 118 minutesRating: RDirector: Reginald Hudlin
Amazon.com:
Eddie Murphy makes a graceless debut as a romantic lead in this comedy from Reginald Hudlin. Murphy stars as a ladies man for whom the tables turn when he suddenly finds himself taken for granted by a lover (Robin Givens). Meanwhile, the platonic friend (Halle Berry) whom Murphy regularly visits is obviously--to the viewer, anyway--the woman he's supposed to be with. The absurdly long film is filled out with some fairly crude humor, such as the sight of Geoffrey Holder taking a whiff of Grace Jones's underwear. Yet Hudlin and Murphy also strain for a veneer of elegance and sophistication. Wanting to play it both ways, they end up with nothing. But there are several good sequences where Murphy is quite funny just being Murphy, such as his explanation to Berry of how you can tell which characters in an old episode of Star Trek are destined to die. --Tom Keogh

- A Classic!
Boomerang is hilarious! Great cast, lots of laughter, fab story-line. No matter how many years pass, Boomerang is one of those movies that will always be a relevant romantic-comedy.

- WHAT THE HELL
I do not understand why this film was considered a minor success and critics trashed Harlem Nights in 1989. I have seen both films, and I think Boomerang is a worse movie, and i say that as a minor fan of Eddie Murphy. as a man myself, I have to say i hate these kind of men who try to play women, who are interested in sex and nothing else. That is being purely selfish and a sign of pure stupidity. Men like that give a bad name to our gender. I think Marcus deserved more punishment that what he got ... Read More
Rating: - Players get played too
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 ... Read More

- Just try making that out of a cola nut
Boomerang was not a huge success for Eddie Murphy, but I think it is a very entertaining film that unfortunately was too racy to appeal to a family humor audience, but not raw enough for the raunchy crowd. As a romantic comedy, it is perfectly adequate, but what really made it entertaining for me were the incredibly talented women.
Legendary Diva Eartha Kitt has done it all. She was born in South Carolina, but she sang and danced her way out of poverty, and by the 50's she had performed ... Read More
Rating: - Eddie's last good film before his nineties slump
Boomerang was Murphy's last good film before he hit his slump. The film directed by Reginald Hudlin gave Murphy the chance to spit many one-liners and the chance for us to see two people who would be big later;Martin Lawerence and Halle Berry. If you've never seen this film check it out for some good laughs.
