Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

elshikh4 What this movie is about? The story of a liar who lives a lying world then finds truth finally? A lover man who's torn between 2 different women? The friendship of 3 guys? Actually the movie itself doesn't know otherwise it could've been more coherent, enjoyable and complete.OK, it's a story of a man who sells everything until he himself becomes a merchandise to be sold. And as a romance, supposedly romance !, the movie pushes this lead to learn about himself as lost person without real love in his life. BUT this movie so lousily sinks itself in a lot of details, un-comic characters, many conversations before hitting the right nerve.It was too late for (Halle Berry) to discover that she loves (Eddie Murphy) or that he loves her; it seemed a desperate attempt for making a third act more than being the movie's main core for god's sake! Not to mention, the matter of so ugly (Robin Givens) on screen, portraying a femme fatale as well ??!! The inhumanly dreadful sight of (Grace Jones) who's one of a few emetic people I've watched in my entire life. The long conversations scenes which with the tepid, nearly dead, direction so the truly dull pace the whole thing looked close to pointless for most of the time. Many characters like (the mail-boy "Chris Rock", the mad model, the French artistic director, the old-deceived neighbor, the friend's parents, or even the annoying employee of the clothes store…) all of them took more time on the screen than what the original story, any original story, did take or should've taken.I pitied the charming and talented young (Berry). Although, she was a perfect princess of innocence, but this dumb script and that endless digressions wasted her utterly. The movie didn't give her space to appear right, or to appear right as someone would love the lead (she advised him how to seduce her boss by Jazz !?). I think that it must've been clear to her, so somehow us, how she got something for him from the very start, and how she must take over the screen at least since the second half. Instead of that they threw some real naive stuff to her (like the clueless first dialog between her and Murphy), and treated her like minor character (the heroine's sidekick) all along to suddenly remember her just before the very end! Although the intense performance that she delivered at the scene of her emotional explosion was the best, most strong anything, of this movie.. still one of the worst movies she was in!After many hits in the field of action and comedy, why not (Eddie Murphy) takes on romance. It was a bold attempt. Yes, he's a good actor along with being big star, but the movie wasn't that good (the word is : broken up). I think it got something with (Murphy) himself as the story's writer, and maybe his fear that the movie could be just romance without comedy, to end up as jammed comedy with not-real-laughs that belated the romance if not suffocated it. I loved a few of his moments here; on their top of course is the shot in which he finds the money for his "fatigue" besides the bed from his female version who's now treating him like a whore, notice how Murphy – silently – pulls the sheets on his chest, sad with weak feminine look in his eyes; actually with wicked little reactions he mastered like these, he's one of few comedians who can make comedy brilliantly with or without talking.Anyhow, it seemed like many incomplete movies in one, or boring stray comedy. I know that it could've been nice romantic comedy but what I've watched was an ideal example for underdeveloped one or a movie with dysfunctional personality. I read opinions about (Boomerang) as "smart movie"… please, it's anything but smart! P.S : at one scene (when the lead was being dumped) we see the lights go off at the top of one skyscraper. At later scene (when the lead hugs his friends) we see the lights go on at the same skyscraper !??... Naaa.. Don't bother, it's part of this movie's naivety !

Newsense Man has this movie aged well. Boomerang was crass, raunchy, vulgar and funny as hell to boot. It was Eddie Murphy in top form just the way we like him.Plot/story: Marcus Graham(Eddie Murphy) is a marketing executive with a player mentality who meets his match with a gorgeous boss by the name of Jacqueline(Robin Givens). Marcus eventually tries to cope after getting p-whipped and played by Jacqueline.Opinion: Boomerang was funny as hell back then as it is funny now. The interactions between Eddie Murphy, David Alan Grier and Martin Lawrence characters are funny as hell. Grace Jones's character Strange' is a riot. I still lmao at the restaurant scene where Strange' loudly proclaims her favorite part of the female anatomy 20 times in front of everybody. Eartha Kitt's Lady Eloise is a hoot also. John Weatherspoon is just as funny as David Alan Grier's character's father. Boomerang works because it doesn't just rely on the comics being funny alone(like most comedies do). Its material is funny in its raunchiness and the chemistry between everybody works. I would strongly recommend this movie any day over the recent busts that Eddie Murphy has starred in. 5 stars.Rest In Peace Eartha Kitt.

Scott_Mercer One of only two movies I have ever walked out on. Not even close to the worst film I've ever seen, but definitely one of the worst films I've ever seen in a theater.Honestly, I don't remember much about it, just that it annoyed me so much that I had to leave immediately. I certainly have nothing against Eddie Murphy. He's been in some of the funniest movies ever made. He's even made some good movies not too long ago, and was nominated for an Oscar just this year. The cast, as well, is made up of talented people. Chris Rock and Martin Lawrence, et. al. Should have been a good movie. But they blew it.Stay away.

Lee Eisenberg As Eddie Murphy may win an Oscar tomorrow night, it's surprising that he once starred in movies like this (then again, things mostly haven't changed much, as "Norbit" is supposed to be pretty terrible). "Boomerang" has got to be one of the poorest excuses for a movie that I've ever seen. It's just another movie where Eddie Murphy plays a successful man looking for a way to bed a beautiful woman. Otherwise, almost nothing happens in it. It was so bad that I didn't even bother to watch the whole thing, and usually I'm very patient with movies (I even watched a stinker like "Town & Country" the whole way through). I don't care that this movie gave David Alan Grier, Martin Lawrence and Chris Rock early appearances, or that Grace Jones actually manages to elicit a few giggles. You will do FAR BETTER to just avoid this movie at all costs.
