Eddie Murphy plays Marcus Graham, a hotshot ad exec who's also an insatiable womanizer. He is thus hardly prepared for his new boss, Jacqueline, played by Robin Givens. In terms of things romantic, Jacqueline is nothing more or less than a female version of Marcus -- and now, for the first time, he's getting the runaround. Boomerang boasts supporting-cast contributions from Halle Berry, David Alan Grier, Martin Lawrence, Grace Jones, Eartha Kitt, Geoffrey Holder, and Melvin Van Peebles. Watch closely and you'll see director Reginald Hudlin in a bit role. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Eddie Murphy stars in the raunchy romantic comedy Boomerang. The film is presented in 1.85:1 widescreen and looks passable, if not great. The black levels often sport a grayness to them while a small amount of edge enhancement crops up from time to time. Otherwise, this is a decent looking print with accurate flesh tones and sharp color patterns. The soundtrack is presented in a newly remixed Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround track in English. This is a more than adequete sound mix that sports a few new directional sounds (especially whenever the R&B tinged music pops up). All aspects of the mix are free and clear of any excessive hiss or distortion. Also included on this disc is a Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround soundtrack in English as well as English subtitles. Only two extra features are included on this DVD -- a commentary track by director Reginald Hudlin and a few deleted/extended scenes with optional commentary by the director. The commentary track with the director is low-key and filled with some mildly informative facts on the making of the film while the deleted/extended scenes don't offer much in the way of characterization or plot filler. Oddly, no theatrical trailer has been included on this disc. ~ Patrick Naugle, All Movie Guide
