Eddie Murphy had a wet dream then woke up and cranked out this movie.
He plays Marcus Graham a bachelor living every single man's fantasy. He's young, has a great job fully staffed with nothing but great looking women, he has a boss pad, has all of his hair, and oh yeah; there isn't a woman that he hasn't slept with. Marcus was something of folklore. He allowed a couple of mortals to bask in his presence and call him a friend: Gerard (David Alan Grier) and Tyler (Martin Lawrence). Presumably he permitted their company so he'd have worshippers though Marcus gave the impression that they were really his friends.
I guess, in an attempt to show some fallibility there was one vixen he had to try extra hard to bag in Jacqueline (Robin Givens). And because this is a hallucination Jacqueline couldn't wait to spread the news of Marcus's bedroom prowess.
As the dream continued Marcus was able to pull another top notch woman in Angela (Halle Berry) with his doggy reputation preceding him. He was a veritable stud, an irresistible force with the strongest pheromones of the animal kingdom. It's a wonder that dogs, cats and other beasts didn't flock to him like in Dr. Doolittle.
This was a romantic comedy after all so eventually Marcus had to fall in love with someone. And because this was all the figment of Eddie Murphy's imagination his love was reciprocated though he did nothing to deserve it.
Boomerang was actually going somewhere at the beginning and had a few funny parts then it became patently obvious that it was Eddie Murphy's imaginary world and I lost interest. This could've been so much better.
