Eddie Murphy makes a graceless debut as a romantic lead in this comedy from Reginald Hudlin. Murphy stars as a ladies man for whom the tables turn when he suddenly finds himself taken for granted by a lover (Robin Givens). Meanwhile, the platonic friend (Halle Berry) whom Murphy regularly visits is obviously--to the viewer, anyway--the woman he's supposed to be with. The absurdly long film is filled out with some fairly crude humor, such as the sight of Geoffrey Holder taking a whiff of Grace Jones's underwear. Yet Hudlin and Murphy also strain for a veneer of elegance and sophistication. Wanting to play it both ways, they end up with nothing. But there are several good sequences where Murphy is quite funny just being Murphy, such as his explanation to Berry of how you can tell which characters in an old episode of Star Trek are destined to die. --Tom Keogh

Eddie what happened to your career?.......2007-07-11

Martin Lawrence, pass the broccoli spears. Are you kidding with this crap? This movie and others like it, catering to the lowest form of sterotypes, just fuels the ignorance fire. How does Martin Lawrence keep getting movie roles, he is such a one note actor. And it seems like Eddie Murphy's career is in reverse, these are the type of movies that actors do early in their career's, forgetable stinkers. There must be better material out there somewhere, please find it.

"WoW an Eddie & Martin collabo".......2007-03-31

"Boomerang" is a very funny movie. This movie shows that in between the one stands and trying to be a ladies man, you still find time for a little humor. Also the movie was filled with alot of strong actors & actresses.

Eddie Murphy at his best!.......2007-02-10

What can I say, Eddie Murphy is a genius. The first time I saw this movie, I fell in love with every character, especially Chris Rock's character. I really loved Halle Berry's character, Angela Lewis. What I really love about this film is the fact that you learn karma does exist, what comes around goes around. I recommend this film to all. Men should treat women with respect and dignity, not like sexual conquests, so that they can tell their friends about their late night escapades!!!!!! I also learned that you can find love where you least expect it, and that people do change.

Boomerang past & present.......2007-02-09

The content of this story is as relevent today as it was in 1947 when the film was made. Bottom line for me is that it is the laws job to protect the inocent just as much as it is to convict the guilty. When media and public opinion stir up histeria it puts alot of presure on the police and courts to hang someone be they the guilty one or not. This film helps us all understand that for justice to prevail all must keep a clear mind.

He can't help but crank out the occasional false note, just often enough to enrage his listeners and discourage any donations. He dreams of playing a large pipe organ. The juke box drowns him out at a cocktail bar, a church organ drowns him out on a street, pinball machines drown him out at Luna Park. The city's neon lights and commercial posters overwhelm his small art. At the end of the day, he captures the tear of a calliope horse - his sole earnings for the day - which may prove magical. Goldframe: Jason Goldframe is a god in Hollywood. He makes movies, he's demanding, he wants to be first, there are at least five phones on his desk. At the end of a day in which he has been driving his staff to finish a picture in 270 millimeters (another first, if he can pull it off), he visits a sound stage and directs a lighting technician to project a bright light on his back so he can cast a large shadow on a white wall. Goldframe then sets about with great energy and manic action to move faster than his shadow: 'I must be first.' Has he met his match in his two-dimensional doppelganger?

LANGUAGES: English (Dolby Digital 2.0), French (Dolby Digital 2.0), English (Subtitles), French (Subtitles), WIDESCREEN (1.85:1), SYNOPSIS: In this metaphoric drama from French writer, director, and actor Jean-Marc Barr, Lyle ($Barr) is a farmer who lives in the rural Midwest with his wife Amy (Rosanna Arquette). Lyle's marriage to Amy is not an especially happy one; they never have sex, partly because she can't bear to betray the memory of her first husband, who has passed on, and partly because she is frightened by Lyle's unusually large penis. Lyle pursues celibacy with a grim determination until the day his childhood friend Vernon (Ian Vogt) comes to town for a visit with his wife, a beautiful French woman named Juliette (Elodie Bouchez). Vernon has been unable to satisfy Juliette sexually, and when she hears about Lyle's unusually proportioned body, she decides to seduce him. All is happy for Lyle and Juliette until word of their affair spreads through town, angering a group of vengeful fundamentalist Christians. While Barr and most of his creative team are from France, Too Much Flesh was shot in English on location in Illinois. SPECIAL FEATURES: Filmographies, Interactive Menu, Trailer(s),
