Film: Boomerang (1992)

DVD: Enhanced 16x9
Boomerang

"Now Marcus, I hear a girl down at the office got you pussy-whipped. You got to reverse it. Don't be pussy-whipped, whip that pussy. Like this here, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang."

Review: This is a 2nd Tier Eddie Murphy movie with alot of great supporting characters who are able to steal scenes from Eddie. A fresh-faced Haley Berry is good in one of her early roles. After this movie, Eddie had a drought in good movies until his fun comeback in "The Nutty Professor".

"I bet we've eaten everything on a pig from the rooter to the tooter."

"Why are we playing pool? Pool is a racist game!"
"Now how is pool a racist game?"
"It plays out like this, see. The green felt on the table represents the earth and the balls represent all the people on the earth. Now the OBJECT of the game is for the white ball to knock all the other balls off the table. And what is the last ball to get knocked off, the black ball!"
"Ya know, usually you're full of shit, but I think you're on to something here."

3 1/2 out of 4 Stars
