Summary: The Best E.M. Movie Ever!
Review: I am not a big Eddie Murphy fan but Boomerang was the best film he'd ever done! I saw it in 92 with my friends in high school and while they were drooling over how good Eddie looked, I found the movie full of charm and unstoppable laughs.Eddie is the perfect bachelor and the perfect star for the role. But not only Eddie did a good job. There were so many great cameos in this film. Some of the world's top comedians: Chris Rock, Martin Lawrence, David Allen Grier, and Tisha Campbell rocked the house and really pulled this film over the top. Grace Jones was as gorgeous as she is charming and stole the show. Eartha Kitt was hilarious and brought her own special spark. Robin Givens could have been a little spicier for her part but she was believeable. Halle Berry I didn't too much care for because I've always found her whiny. I think someone like Vanessa Williams or Lynn Whitfield would have done wonders in that part. Halle was bland and weak. I think they should have switched her role with LeLa Rochon's. Also the gorgeous Vanity would have been super in Halle's part and more believable. The only thing this film needed was Bernie Mac ( I haven't seen the movie in years so if he was in it, I don't remember ). This movie was all that. There aren't enough stars to go around! This is definitely one for Eddie lovers and anyone who likes intelligent black comedies instead of the ones that thrive on stereotypical stupidity. Also get that soundtrack! That Aaron Hall song is the bomb!

Summary: You'll be pleasantly surprised
Review: I did not see this movie in the theatres, I rented it years ago and every time I see it, I laugh till I cry. this film is a romantic comedy that happens to have a primarily African American cast. The cinemetography is beautiful...Everyone looks great, sets, costumes, all of it...well done. And the characters are not caricatures of how Black people "act" in the corporate world , in love or just living life. Eddie's playboy character truly gets his just rewards by way of Ms. Givens well acted character, Jacqueline Boyers. She goes for what she wants, (in life and in romance) gets it and moves on if it gets too intimate. (How stereotypically male of her LOL!) I actually liked her in this, her work wasn't forced or overly smug as she usually can be. And a un glamorized and very pretty Halle Berry was a real treat.. a basic sister with what looks like her original features and a sweet acting style, very believable...I am sure if you look at her early films you will see what I am talking about...
It is a fun film, so many great cameos and characters. Grace Jone's scene in the restaurant and actually all of her scenes are hysterical. Geoffrey Holder and Eartha Kitt? absolute Gems!
Like Coming to America, I think Murphy hit on something that AFrican AMerican viewers have always looked for in Tv and film...non caricatured treatment of the kinds of stories that all lovers of film want to experience and enjoy. Ten years later, with films like Brown Sugar, Love and Basketball
etc, we have an opportunity to experience a wider range of African AMerican storytelling. I wish we could see Angela, Lynn, Denzel, Eddie, Anna, and so many other well trained performers have a chance to explore this area. Peace

Summary: A Classic
Review: I hate to play the race card, but I have to say that one of the best things about this movie is that it is among the first, first, first great black comedies that worked without being, excuse me, ghetto fabulous. I watched this movie because it was rip-roaring funny, subtley race-conscious, and because the sistahs were Phhhine, slammin, and the brothers were educated, cultured, and well-spoken (except for the Martin Lawrence character, but he was great too). In other words, it felt great watching buppies (black yuppies) on film, with not a finacial care in the world. They looked great in corporate America making artistic decisions, swinging business deals, deciding to quit their jobs on principle and FIND themselves--wow. The vicarious pleasure was almost too much for me. Now add all that to some of the funniest comedic material ever and you have a classic. Every scene is a gem. This movie is even better than Coming to America.

Summary: My favorite movie of all time.
Review: I have seen this movie sooooo many times that I can't even count. If I could give it a million stars I would. This one of Eddie's best. The Thanksgiving dinner scene and the happy ending are the best. Not to mention Robin Givens' wardrobe...the suits she wore were to die for. I also love his apartment and the time when Halle cursed him out and left him high and dry. It's just a good movie. Funny, sexy and heart warming all in one. I think Halle and Robin are both drop dead gorgeous but Halle has that soft innocence that makes even more attractive.

Summary: It was good but too profane
Review: I liked Boomerang. I've seen it a number of times. Eddie Murphy is a natural and he played the part of the womanizing Marcus Graham very well. The only thing I didn't care for too much was the constant foul language and raunchy humor. I think the movie would have been better without it.

Summary: Eddie Murphy is hilarious
Review: I love this movie. I laugh everytime at Eddie Murphy, Martin Lawrence, and David Allen Grier's scenes. Chris Rock was also funny. Hallie Berry was great. I enjoy watching this movie. I laugh as if it is my first time viewing it. Now that I have the DVD, I love the deleted scenes. This is a must have for true DVD collectors.

Summary: Eddie Murphy at His Best
Review: I'm so glad they finally decided to release a DVD version of Boomerang. I have the VHS version but I am sure to buy the DVD. Boomerang is one of my favorite movies of all time. It's a great love story and a wonderful depiction of how a dog gets dogged. Eddie plays the dog and Robin Givens plays the dogette. If you can get over the fact that she was once married to Mike Tyson you will see a wonderful portrayal of her character. Halle Berry makes a not so glamarous showing but is quite stunning to say the least. It's the first time you see Halle's personality and not just her looks. She not just a made up face but has substance. The cast is great and soundtrack is off-da-hook. This is by far some of Eddie's best work. He is funny, charming, and looks mighty fine in this movie. Be sure to buy the DVD when it is released. You will be pleasantly surprised. It's one for every African American Movie Collection.

Summary: Great Positive Movie!
Review: Like everyone has already stated in their reviews, this is one of the most positive movies for black comedy as they get, all characters are successful and upscale, and the comedy is still hardcore enough to be funny and not to uptight, so hands down this movie is very good in all aspects.I just wish the quality of black movies were like this one for today, it's a shame that new black movies are reverting back to Amos and Andy.

Summary: Marcus DAH-Ling
Review: Lol. This film truly deserves 5 stars simply because it is the definition of hysteria. It's all about how Eddie Murphy gets played and discovers love along the way with Halle Berry. There are some great one liners and many funny moments. PROS = It shows the clever and intelligent sides to african-american's with wry humour here and there. Glad to see Eartha Kitt in a great role and Chris Rock in one of his early roles. CONS = Not enough scenes with David Allen Grier and Chris Rock. They were great in this film.
