![]() ![]() ![]() Many of them come from an odd but brilliantly cast trio of key supporting actors: Eartha Kitt, Grace Jones and Geoffrey Holder. The movie was directed by Reginald Hudlin and coproduced by his brother, Warrington they made the original, inspired " House Party." Here, with a larger budget, they show the same gift for funny one-liners that strike out of the blue. By this time, Murphy has been so thoroughly traumatized and enlightened by the Givens episode that he knows how to do all the right things. Eventually one night, Murphy and Berry realize they're in love. She dates Murphy's best friend, but there are no sparks, and they keep insisting they're "just friends" even though everyone believes them the first time. The subplot, predictable but enjoyable all the same, involves another woman in the same firm, played by Halle Berry. As Givens seduces Murphy, dumps him, picks him up again, casts him away again, the whole demeanor of his character changes he loses the bouncy step and the selfconfident chuckle, and begins to hang his head and drag his feet. The story for "Boomerang" is credited to Murphy, who may have seen this story as an amends after "Harlem Nights," a shockingly sexist movie that included one scene where the Murphy character shot a woman dead while she was making love to him. He seduces them and dumps them with no compassion, until one day a female executive ( Robin Givens) becomes his boss, and starts treating him in exactly the same way. In the movie, he's Marcus Graham, a top executive in a cosmetics company, whose free time is spent in the tireless pursuit of women. It shows a kinder, gentler, funnier Eddie Murphy than we've seen in recent years - a comic actor who can go for the little laughs as well as the big ones, and build a character at the same time.
