Movie Reviews of Boomerang
Movie Review: Jacqueline and Angela
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my favorite African-American movie of all time. I truly have to give credit to Reginald Hudlin for doing this movie, and for also doing "House Party." But what I really want to talk about is the two female characters: Jacqueline(Robin Givens) and Angela(Halle Berry). One day I was watching the DVD and I had it set on the "commentary by the director." What caught my attention was when Reginald Hudlin said something like how most women are the Hallies. And that is so true. Like he explained, most of us women relate more to Halle Berry's character who was shy and insecure, wanting to be so much like Robin Givens's character who was like a powerful stylish career woman. But even though Angela wasn't as glamorous as Jacqueline, Angela was the chosen one that changes Marcus(Eddie Murphy) and his ways, shows him the real true meaning of love, and at the end, Angela is the one that he wants to be with.Movie Review: Eddie Murphy at His Best

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.Movie Review: A DVD with a continuous boom

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.Movie Review: Love Should've Brought Yo Ass Home Last Night!
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Movie Review: Black people at their best!
Summary: 5 Stars
Boomerang is my favorite black comedy. I like that it shows us in a positive light-- successful, goal-oriented, articulate. The on-film chemistry between the characters is awesome. Whenever I watch it, I forget that I'm watching a fiction movie because it feels like I'm getting a glimpse of a real-life story about friends and colleagues. I don't care what anyone says or what you don't see in her TV bios-- Boomerang put Halle Berry on the map! (I cut my hair short after I saw it.) The Star Trek kiss is THE BEST movie kiss of all times and the scene where Marcus gets "told" makes me cheer with excitement every time I see it! I have always wished for a Boomerang II. Buy the DVD now! It's a great investment.
