Jul 1, 1992 · If that was the case, then "Boomerang," Murphy's new movie, is powerful evidence that he's back on track. It shows a kinder, gentler, funnier Eddie Murphy than we've seen in recent years - a comic actor who can go for the little laughs as well as the big ones, and build a character at the same time.

1. It's funny how a lot of reviewers remember walking out of the theaters, when they wrote their reviews 12...15...17 years after the movie was released. Like it was a personal vendetta against Eddie Murphy and the Hudlin brothers. 2. The movie, in 1992, was actually quite popular and didn't get panned by critics.
On review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 48%, based on 42 reviews, and an average rating of 5.3/10. The website's critics consensus reads, " Boomerang injects some fresh color into the corporate rom-com formula, but the frothy fun is undercut by off-putting gender dynamics and misjudged gags."

Boomerang is a good example of a great film that showcases Black success throughout its plot and character choices.
