I've had "Boomerang" on my list of romantic comedies that I needed to watch. I was a little disappointed. I could see how the film would have been monumental and groundbreaking in the early 90s, but watching it now leaves you with a feeling that the movie is just okay. You will get to see lots of young actors before they hit it big like Eddie Murphy, Halle Barry, Martin Lawrence, and Chris Rock. However, as in most of Murphy's films, he insists on taking over every scene. The story is about a womanizer who falls for his boss, gets played, and then decides he wants a real relationship. The story is interesting and there are some funny moments, but I spent a lot of the time feeling sorry for most of the characters in the film. I guess it's a film that should be watched once, but only once.
It gets 3 out of 5 stars.
