Easily one of the best movies ever


I don't care what the ratings are from those who gripe over this movie because of its all black cast. These are the same people who will watch a movie with an all white cast, will jugde it on its merits and wont care less if any minority faces pop up in their white world.
This is an intelligent, thoughtful well acted, well directed, and hilarious movie hands down. Boomerang has such an awesome concept and regardless as to how people feel about Robin/Halle, Robin totally owned this role. It was tailor made to fit her and she did a wonderful job with it.
From a comedic standpoint, as so many of the funniest parts of the movie were adlibs Eddie and the others were able to pull off such authentic, off the cuff humor while staying true to the storyline.
Differences don't exist? Look at the way we view movies for crying out loud. Boomerang is a gem in the black community, and white people gripe about how unrealistic it is, yet anything with Tom Cruise is stellar. Give me a break!

Yeah, I've never seen the appeal in Tom 'C.O.S' Cruise, I hav'nt seen Boomerang for at least 8 years, but still remember it as a movie I really enjoyed. And of course for Robin Givens......yummy!

Must put it on my 'Need to watch again soon' list.

it is a good movie...probably not one of the best but much better than i expected...Also do you have to base so much on race? It isnt a competition you know, smh. Judging from your posts and names, you are one letter short from being a racist

Tiffany I agree!! The cast, comedy, sexiness, scenery, black people as positive images, and storyline most definitely makes this one of the best movies ever!!!

This is number 1. Then comes Hitch. It was good to see an all black cast. It was great acting and written well.
Its funny when a good film like this comes out, critics like to take race out of the equation.
