Sunday will be the 20th anniversary of Boomerang.Eddie Murphy played a fly New York marketing executive who had his way women. He was a suave go-getter. I could remember sneaking to watch it on VHS while my mommy was at work because she would not let me watch it. This movie, was Eddie Murphy’s first turn as a romantic lead and to the box office it was a success raking in $131 million. The film til this day has me in stitches, especially the scene when Eddie checks his date’s feet. It wasn’t until Boomerang came out that men really cared about feet! I bet the nail salons and spas adore Eddie for that! Oh Lawd, don’t let me forget “Lady Eloise” (Eartha Kitt) who changed the way people said “Marccccus Darling.” No matter where you may go people will remember the one liners: “You have to co-ordinate!” or “Love shoulda brought your a** home last night.”
No doubt one of my favorite movies is “Boomerang.”
