Good story, Not enough for a whole film

best movie i've ever seen.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

For a long time I've always knew and remembered about this film because it features the hit song "End Of The Road" by Boyz II Men but never really watched the film itself. Well, at one night I decided to dive into this movie to see what this Rom-Com film is like. Oh...well after watching the entire film I can honestly tell you now that this movie is actually bad, it's as bad as Steve Irwin getting a stingray barb up the life force. It just baffles me that such a classic song would be featured in a train wreck of a film like this.The story is as boring as a soup opera and the film is severely lacking in the comedy side of things, the things that are supposed to be funny are just not. Sadly the funniest thing in the movie was this strange disturbing advert they show mid way through the film to promote the company. The worst character in the whole film is Strangé (Grace Jones), she dresses up like a freak and all she ever talked and shouted about was dirty sexual things and rudely calling out different people in an restaurant "gay" after Marcus (Eddie Murphy) declined her ridiculous offer of sex.Bottom-line, Boomerang has too much romance, is plain boring due to the lack of comedy and the story just wasn't very interesting.One last thing, why is the movie called Boomerang? There's no Australians, kangaroos and boomerangs in this. If the movie were a boomerang, I would throw it away into a bin.

Boomerang is one of the best examples of a movie that while watching it, it's to some extent ultimately unsatisfying, though nearly intentionally so for bettering the viewing, as it never fully fulfills your desirability towards the story or toward the characters, but it keeps you invested, and the movie ultimately sticks with you, leaving you yearning for more, kinda like, the characters themselves know that they're on the very verge of something greater in their lives and right now they're just messing around having some fun in the moment and you're there enjoying their experiences with them but you want to head to that better place too.Boomerang remains really appealing for its stylish, sophisticated, sexy, down-to-earth, kick-back vibe. It has just enough comedy with just enough romance. It's hip, it's smart, it's sweet, it's funny, it's freaky, and it's an original piece of film.Boomerang teaches you the way of a gentleman player, and as you enjoy it, it really pushes you to fantasize about your own love life. There's no pressing plot line, there's just a strong emotional attachment to the characters who all kinda kick it through the whole movie, making it very relatable. Eddie Murphy knew the vision he had in mind. Eddie came up with the story, saying he'd wanted to do that type of character; Murphy played a similar role in The Distinguished Gentlemen that same year, 1992. Murphy makes the movie as Marcus. In playing Marcus, Murphy tones down his comedic talents and timing in an interpret understanding that the character, Marcus, isn't as funny as he is. This is brilliant for the movie. If Murphy had went out on a high note on all of his funnier moments, which he could have easily done, Boomerang would have had a too cheesy comedic element, and it would have lost its smooth and suave attractiveness. Robin Givens is great, really great for the viewing. Do you understand that Givens is great for the viewing? David Alan Grier and Martin Lawrence are both so hilarious, if you don't know, and their characters are a lot of funny too. Halle Berry is amazing, so really sweet. She seems most at ease as Angela, a fine part for her, as Angela may be Halle's one character closest to her real live self. Halle Berry is the finest woman ever. Chris Rock and Tisha Campbell are good and funny and strengthen the movie with their small supporting parts.Boomerang is a good movie to just let go and enjoy it. It's sexy and it's real. Boomerang has a strong cultural click. Boomerang, Boomerang, Boomerang, Boom-Boomerang, Boomerang, Boomerang, I really love this movie. Can't you tell?

One of only two movies I have ever walked out on. Not even close to the worst film I've ever seen, but definitely one of the worst films I've ever seen in a theater.Honestly, I don't remember much about it, just that it annoyed me so much that I had to leave immediately. I certainly have nothing against Eddie Murphy. He's been in some of the funniest movies ever made. He's even made some good movies not too long ago, and was nominated for an Oscar just this year. The cast, as well, is made up of talented people. Chris Rock and Martin Lawrence, et. al. Should have been a good movie. But they blew it.Stay away.

As Eddie Murphy may win an Oscar tomorrow night, it's surprising that he once starred in movies like this (then again, things mostly haven't changed much, as "Norbit" is supposed to be pretty terrible). "Boomerang" has got to be one of the poorest excuses for a movie that I've ever seen. It's just another movie where Eddie Murphy plays a successful man looking for a way to bed a beautiful woman. Otherwise, almost nothing happens in it. It was so bad that I didn't even bother to watch the whole thing, and usually I'm very patient with movies (I even watched a stinker like "Town & Country" the whole way through). I don't care that this movie gave David Alan Grier, Martin Lawrence and Chris Rock early appearances, or that Grace Jones actually manages to elicit a few giggles. You will do FAR BETTER to just avoid this movie at all costs.
