Grâce à la présence et au scénario d'Eddie Murphy, Reginald Hudlin décroche un budget de 40 millions de dollars qu'il utilise à merveille pour cette comédie romantique révolutionnaire pour l'époque (puisque des relations amoureuses d'Afro-américains).
BOOMERANG - Reginald Hudlin (1992)
Marcus Graham (Eddie Murphy) is responsible for advertising in a cosmetics company. It is also an insatiable flirty, coupled with a licensee who discusses machismo of his conquests with his colleagues and friends (Martin Lawrence & David Alan Grier). But her love life and career turned upside down when a new boss arrives, 
Jacqueline Broyer (Robin Givens). They sleep together and Marcus seems to fall in love with her (especially since she has perfect feet). But Jacqueline is being played to him and enjoys a Mac ad campaign on the supermodel Strange (Grace Jones) to the sideline.
Helped by Angela (Halle Berry), Marcus tries to take revenge ...
From the first minutes of Murphy's character and his cronies contrast with the previous films.
Indeed, they speak more freely from the world of their sexualities and we are witnessing the first scenes of love Eddie after 10-year career. Rare are the actors to take advantage of such chastity! But to have this role as a seducer, he should write the screenplay himself with Reginald Hudlin (basking in the success of House Party ).
The strength of the film re
lies in the complexity of its main characters. Indeed, when asked virility and success of Murphy, the roles are reversed and the heartthrob becomes the victim of the intriguing Robin Givens. Besides the desire not to fall in Manichaeism in fact make the plot good feelings and romance cheap; one small hitch in this pleasant comedy.
The cast led by Aleta Chappelle is just huge, mixing with the stars envy as the sidekick of African American cinema of the past 40 years.
It gives pride to subordinate roles representing the soul cinema as the founding father Melvin Van Peebles, the incomparable Leonard Jackson ( Five on the Black Hand Side , Ganja & Hess , Car Wash, The Color Purple )
the former sex symbol Eartha Kitt (it already appears in Friday Foster), Bebe Drake, Alyce Webb (newcomer at the legendary Cotton Comes to Harlem ) Grace Jones ... hence, Hudlin and Murphy pose their production in the footsteps of the ancients will forcefully reaffirmed with the participation the spiritual father of black cinema Committed: Melvin Van Peebles.
Is also represented the younger generation: Martin Lawrence and David Alan Grier (who worked almost every film improv with Murphy), Robin Givens, Tisha Campbell, Chris Rock, John Canada Terrell
(one of the main roles of She's Gotta Have It ), John Witherspoon, Lela Rochon (who was just emerging from another relationship film with Murphy in Harlem Nights ), Daryl Mitchell, Irv Dotten, Gene Allen and cameos by the seller on the sly Hudlin brothers, Reginald and Warrington director producer.
The DVD has some deleted scenes including the one below, and of course comments Hudlin. And the film looks fully a second time with them: the choice of actors, the secrets of filming (and touch of Eartha Kitt in her lines sometimes it deems too vulgar), the mad laughter-plateau ...
