An attempt at a more sophisticated, grown-up comedy for Murphy, focusing on adults in a workplace, and on adult, sexual relationships.June 24, 2006
The film is far too slick to be ineffective, but its attempts to play with the sex-war theme are often unbelievably crass.May 20, 2003
There's something paradoxical about the ease he radiates in playing a man who is supposed to be a smashing success. As an underdog, Mr. Murphy worked much harder.March 18, 2008
In Boomerang Eddie Murphy straitjackets himself in an ill-fitting comedy vehicle that's desperately in need of a reality check.June 06, 2001
For all the sex talk in Boomerang, there's very little nudity. The only thing naked is Murphy's vanity.March 18, 2008
More interesting than entertaining and too long by far.October 04, 2005
Silly. Simple. Eddie was better than this.March 18, 2008
Then there's the input from Warrington and Reginald Hudlin, producer and director respectively, who succeed in creating a comedy which, unusually for a Murphy film, also exists around him.July 03, 2012
The cop-out conclusion doesn't dilute the playfulness the Hudlins are always interested in providing. I only wish they had the opportunity to work with Murphy again.January 01, 2005
Remember one thing...........coordinate!March 18, 2008
The general idea is to exploit a certain amount of role reversal, and Reginald Hudlin, who directed House Party, does a fairly good job of making this fun.January 01, 2000
Murphy gives his most appealing performance to date, using his smug, self-satisfied, sly smile as a joke on his own well-known screen persona.
