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.

Reviews for Boomerang
Top CriticThe film is far too slick to be ineffective, but its attempts to play with the sex-war theme are often unbelievably crass.

Top CriticGivens, Lawrence and Berry all put in enjoyable performances, and while Murphy can no longer match those memorable early roles, he's on good form here.

More interesting than entertaining and too long by far.

Top CriticIn Boomerang Eddie Murphy straitjackets himself in an ill-fitting comedy vehicle that's desperately in need of a reality check.

Top CriticThe 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.

It's not even funny. Nor does it contain half the wit or charm as the old Doris Day sex comedies it so resembles. In fact, it's downright mean-spirited toward women, as is Murphy's wont.

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.

Top CriticThis movie has a charming Eddie Murphy, a slick and grown-up comedian. Most of his movies have no trace of this man.
