Summary: Crazy film about male friendships and chasing women.
Review: Eddie and friends discuss women all the time, while at work, when eating, and while working out. The funniest scene is at dinner when the parents of Eddie's friend come over and make-out in his bathroom. A must see movie for both men and women, has comedy, sex and great music.

Summary: Lessons in Love!
Review: Eddie Murphy is great. Boomerang is one of the best romantic comedies ever. Robin Givens is breath taking. The scene of Givens in a green bra and panties is marvelous! All in all what comes around goes around in love

Summary: Charming, Funny Flick.
Review: Eddie Murphy stars in this romantic comedy as a "player" who often brags to his two best buddies (played by David Alan Grier and Martin Lawrence) about his conquests. However, he meets his match when he falls for a workplace beauty (played by Robin Givens), who pretty much treats him the exact same way he treats his conquests. The strange thing about this film is that, in the beginning, when we see Murphy using all of these women, we start to think, "this guy is a no-good dog, and deserves to get a taste of his own medicine." However, when he finally *does* get a taste of his own medicine, we start to feel a little sad for him.

In this flick, you can also find such appearances from Grace Jones, John Witherspoon and Halle Berry, who plays the platonic friend of Murphy's character when he is down-in-the-dumps. This is a hilarious film, which should provide many with large doses of entertainment.

Summary: A DVD with a continuous boom
Review: Eddie Murphy's "Boomerang" is not only his best work, but one of the top movies in Black cinema. No movie collection could be complete without this film that is so much more than just a love story and comedy. John Witherspoon, who plays David Alan Grier's charasmatic father, practically steals the show. Everytime he is on the screen, the laughs are multiplied. This is, in this reviewer's opinion, the most successful ensemble ever brought to any film (black or otherwise). With such notables like Tisha Campbell, Lela Rochon, Chris Rock, Geoffrey Holder, Grace Jones, Martin Lawrence, and of course, Eddie, this is one movie you'll never get tired of watching over and over again. The laughs just keep coming back to you like a ... Boomerang.

Summary: Good looks aren't everything
Review: First of all, this movie has some nice visuals. Interieurs, lights, even the clothes of the cast look like they were made for each other. The appeal is so perfect, it reminds you of a commercial, which unfortunately holds true to the rest of the film as well.

The actors so much try to look swell, sophisticated and suave that it seems they forgot they not only portray the clothes and fancy apartments, but actually characters that interact with each other. This keeps them flat and it is not easy to establish a relationship to them, which also lets most of the humoristic points of the story fail.

If you really are into watching movie-length commercials an evening with "9 1/2 weeks" might be more enjoyable.

Review: Hey this was an excellent movie. Eddie Murphy looks and acts funny especially when he is trying to look sad. The star studded cast of Martin Lawrence, Tisha Campbell, Eartha Kitt, Grace Jones, Robin Givens, Halle Berry, John Witherspoon, Chris Rock, Lela Rochon and David Alan Grier definitely set this movie off. Eddie Murphy does the unthinkable and gets the runaround from Givens...something a playa of his status should never get. From the beginning this movie is excellent, edge of your seat, thrilling romance. THe soundtrack that accompanies the movie is also greatness. This movie is a must have in your collection if you even remotely like Eddie Murphy or any of the said stars in the movie. You'll definitely enjoy this one.

Summary: Eddie's best work
Review: How can one compare this movie to any other by Eddie Murphy. He was undoubtedly at his best, mixing subtle comedy with fantastic dialogue. He was also surrounded by an all star cast of Halle Berry, Martin, David Alan Grier, and Mike Tyson's ex wife . . . you know . . . what's her name. Even though by today's standards the wardrobe is terrible, you must look at it for it's time period, and Eddie's Hair was great too.

Summary: "One of my favorites"
Review: I am a big Eddie Murphy fan, and as we all know when it comes to Eddie laughter plays a big part. This movie just shows the flip side of things like, "what goes around comes around". Eddie plays Marcus whom just so happens to be a serious player until he meets Robin Givens and falls in love with her, and then she gives him a dose of his own medicine. I loved this movie, and I would definitely recommend it. I must say it has very foul language in it though, but as a whole I love the plot and the story.

Summary: Boomerang
Review: I am a movie buff and thought I had seen every Eddie Murphy movie until today when I saw 'Boomerang' at a friend's place. This is one of Eddie's best films in that it balances comedy, story and romance in a nice modern fashion (albeit it is one of his older films).

I loved this film. And must say that this is a credit also to Halle Berry, another all-time favourite actress. This hard-working actress truly touched you and the way she wins you over in the film leaves you wanting to watch the film over. I strongly recommend others to check out her other films, particularly 'Introducing Dorothy Dandridge'. A truly wonderful actress.

Backed with a soundtrack and that wonderful song 'I'd die without you' at the end of the film, you MUST buy this film - I have already bought it on the same day of watching this film. Buy this film and be prepared to be touched ...
