Sexy, seductive, witty, glamorous, and hilarious, 10 August 2001
Author: Catherine Grace Zeh (FilmGirlGZ@aol.com) from Vienna, Virginia, USA

BOOMERANG is one of the best Eddie Murphy movies I have ever seen. I laughed so hard when Marcus (Eddie Murphy) said, "Kirby!" aggressively. In my opinion, all the women looked very beautiful in the dressy clothing they wore -- Especially Christie (Lela Rochon) and Jacqueline (Robin Givens). Another thing that made me laugh were the confrontations between Marcus and Yvonne (Tisha Campbell). I especially loved Tyler (Martin Lawrence). His act was REALLY funny. It was funny, but a LITTLE crude. This movie was very sexy, seductive, witty, glamorous, and hilarious in my opinion. In conclusion, I recommend this movie to anyone who's a fan of Eddie Murphy. You're in for a real treat and a LOT of laughs, so, go out to the video store, rent it or buy it, kick back with a friend, and watch it.
