Boomerang
Marcus is a successful advertising executive who woos and beds women almost at will. After a company merger he finds that his new boss, the ravishing Jacqueline, is treating him in exactly the same way. Completely traumatised by this, his work goes badly downhill.
Critics Sentiment
Helen Strange introduced as eccentric fashion diva for company
Marcus sleeps with Jacqueline again while dating Angela
Sharp decline from the praised Grace Jones introduction to the criticized romantic manipulation sequences
Boomerang received mixed reception with reviewers consistently praising the male friendship dynamics and Grace Jones's performance while criticizing the romantic elements as boring and repetitive. The film starts stronger with character establishment and comedy but suffers in the middle act where the love story fails to engage audiences. Despite a talented cast, the romantic components never achieve the same quality as the comedic male bonding scenes.
