Critic Reviews
-
Lawrence Cohn, Variety
In Boomerang Eddie Murphy straitjackets himself in an ill-fitting comedy vehicle that's desperately in need of a reality check.
-
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
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.
-
Janet Maslin, New York Times
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.
-
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
For all the sex talk in Boomerang, there's very little nudity. The only thing naked is Murphy's vanity.
-
Hal Hinson, Washington Post
Boomerang is the funniest, most sophisticated movie of Eddie Murphy's career.
