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. Full Review |

The film is far too slick to be ineffective, but its attempts to play with the sex-war theme are often unbelievably crass. Full Review |

Givens, 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. Full Review |

More interesting than entertaining and too long by far. Full Review |

In Boomerang Eddie Murphy straitjackets himself in an ill-fitting comedy vehicle that's desperately in need of a reality check. Full Review |

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. Full Review |

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. Full Review |

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. Full Review |

This movie has a charming Eddie Murphy, a slick and grown-up comedian. Most of his movies have no trace of this man. Full Review |
