Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
For all the sex talk in Boomerang, there's very little nudity. The only thing naked is Murphy's vanity.
– Peter Travers,

rotten:
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.
– Janet Maslin,
New York Times,
20 May 2003
rotten:
The film is far too slick to be ineffective, but its attempts to play with the sex-war theme are often unbelievably crass.

fresh:
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.

rotten:
In Boomerang Eddie Murphy straitjackets himself in an ill-fitting comedy vehicle that's desperately in need of a reality check.
