Watch Boomerang For Free

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Having only heard and seen clips of this movie for the last 20 years, I finally watched Boomerang on Netflix Streaming just now. Once again, Eddie Murphy got together with his writers from "Saturday Night Live"-Barry W. Blaustein and David Sheffield-and made another romantic comedy that turned out to be a success like their previous one in Coming to America. And once again, they got a fine supporting cast accompanying them like Lela Rochon (having previously appeared in Murphy's Harlem Nights), Robin Givens, Martin Lawrence, David Alan Grier, Chris Rock, Grace Jones, Eartha Kitt and a newcomer named Halle Berry. Oh, and Tisha Campbell also appeared before her teaming with Lawrence in his upcomimg series "Martin". This time the director picked was Reginald Hudlin with his brother Warrington as co-producer after their success with their debut feature House Party. Like Coming to America, this was a nice change of pace for Murphy from his previous wise-ass characters but with both funny and touching scenes. Really, I had a good time watching this. So on that note, I highly recommend Boomerang. Oh, and the person who played a commercial editor looked familiar so I looked at the cast list and found out he was played by the one and only Melvin Van Peebles!

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 interactions between Eddie Murphy, David Alan Grier and Martin Lawrence characters are funny as hell. Grace Jones's character Strange' is a riot. I still lmao at the restaurant scene where Strange' loudly proclaims her favorite part of the female anatomy 20 times in front of everybody. Eartha Kitt's Lady Eloise is a hoot also. John Weatherspoon is just as funny as David Alan Grier's character's father. Boomerang works because it doesn't just rely on the comics being funny alone(like most comedies do). Its material is funny in its raunchiness and the chemistry between everybody works. I would strongly recommend this movie any day over the recent busts that Eddie Murphy has starred in. 5 stars.Rest In Peace Eartha Kitt.

Typically I don't like Eddie Murphy since his range is so limited and his humor wasn't funny in 1980 and hasn't changed much since then however....he breaks that mold and does a pretty decent job. He pulls off suave without being smarmy and except for the middle part of the script where he fails to see he's being played it works.It doesn't hurt that the movie has some gorgeous ladies (Halle, Robin Givens, Grace Jones). As a player Eddie shows some great style as not seen since the Tao of Steve.An underrated movie and worth the time to watch.

This is Eddie Murphy at his best...not to mention Martin Lawrence, Halle Berry, Grace Jones, Ertha Kitt...HELLO!?!? This is a high quality flick, no question about it, well written, HILARIOUS, and definitely able to bring back fond memories when you see some familiar faces at their best (some less familiar now), and hear the soundtrack...Toni Braxton, PM Dawn, can't do better than this movie. Period. (unless maybe you are talking about "coming to America"....there may be some competition there). And in addition to being funny, and having some great acting (say what you want about her, but nobody plays a b$@%# like Robin Givens), its a romantic comedy with an actual plot that makes sense. Amazing.
