Review of Boomerang

Boomerang (1992)
6/10
This movie is all for the players!
3 October 2005
Being successful is everything a person could be. But when that successful person is a complete player, their world will come spiraling down on them. Eddie Murphy plays Marcus Graham, the playboy exec who really sees the light on his ways. Wooing and cooing women is more of his job than his marketing biz. Geoffrey Holder is Roger, this guy is really more hormonal than moral in every way. I've enjoyed everything Holder plays: The Voodoo leader in "Live and Let Die", Punjab in "Annie", The best part of him is when he says, "Marvelous" and his trademark laugh, "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Grace Jones, the outrageous singer/actress never lost her touch. Playing the raunchy Strange, made everyone uneasy. Especially when she takes off her panties and rubs it all over Lloyd's(Leonard Jackson) face. I would freak out as well. What's worse, she grabs Marcus and he reacts "Hey, what's the matter with you?" Then she flashes her crotch at Marcus which is really distasteful and virtually unpleasant to patrons. I would go to the restrooms and yak my appetizer in seconds. This movie is funny, yet shows meaning what it's like to be played by your own game. What go around, comes around. Rating 2 out of 5 stars.
