I LOVED this movie. The musical score was great and it was wonderful to see people of color in a positive positions/roles. There was a laugh a minute and I thought the acting was good. It is my favorite Eddie Murphy movie. I do think you have to bring something to this movie to enjoy it though...y'all who know can relate. Besides the above, it was great the way they flipped the roles of the characters and brought out the stereotypes typically portrayed in movies. I think this accentuated the comedic effect. I wish that Hollywood would bank role more movies like this. Movies that make you feel good and make you laugh without resorting to placing people of color in a box. Allow us to reflect and express ourselves and our full range of experiences.
I was 17 when this one came out and I loved it and I still do! It's not the best, but it's far from the worst. Simply put, it's well worth watching.
Boomerang is one of those Eddie Murphy Classics. It's a story about a Womanizing man (Eddie Murphy) who meets his match (Robin Givins), and gets a taste of his own medicine. I loved the idea of showing this scenario with affluent young black executives instead of the stereotypic ghetto love atmosphere white America likes to see us in. Black Executives do exist in record numbers (just had to throw that in). This movie becomes funnier every time I watch it. That Bang Bang Bang scene is the funniest thing ever but there were big laughs through out the entire movie. Eddie did a great job on this one.
