- Boomerang is a beloved movie in the Black Film canon, and one of the first of its kind when it first came out. But its also a SCARY reminder of how low self worth and even lower standards can get you in situationships, thinking it's love. Today's deep dive film analysis on Eddie Murphy's first rom-com is going to be Comedy and Conversation - HEAVY on the conversation, because we need to discuss.

Hey, I'm an actor turned video creator sharing comedy and conversation. We talk media messaging and how to discern what we're being taught in movies, pop culture, and social media. Layered storytelling is my bag so my goal is to get you to watch each video two or three times so you catch all the layers.

It's been awhile since I've dropped a video and I don't think this one will be monetized 😬 so I appreciate your comments and engagement! I also have a bunch of videos coming (finally) so thanks for being patient with me. We baaaackkkk.
Welcome back Sweetpea!! 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks lover!@@JEtienneMusic
FIRST OF ALL!!!!… Vamp in Brooklyn crawled so that Twilight could walk 🤧
It’s a horror-rom classic lol
😏😏😏
The soundtrack to this is a BANGER! Right up there with Waiting to Exhale soundtrack. The characters in this movie though....a MESS! And that's speaking through older eyes. Watching it in my 20s was Black magic, seeing all those beautiful people on screen. But watching MARRRRRRRCUS now🥴😂😂
Maaacus did not deserve Angela at the end of the movie. He didn't show anything regain her trust after cheating on her. I didn't understand why she wanted him in the first place.
Funny enough, the ending of the movie was changed.
say more please? 👀
@@TiffanyByrdHarrison Apparently, initially Marcus ended up alone at the end, but they changed following the test screenings.
@@megamanxhunter yup the part with him Trey and Jarod running to put out the fire was the original ending
As a film buff, you can see the usual lapse dissolve ending edit right after the musical cue
I loved Tisha Campbell’s neighbor role👏🤣!
she was hilarious!
Yvonne: I know I should feel happy but I don't. I hate to see another one in pain.
Marcus: Why thank you Yvonne. That's very nice of you. Good night.
Yvonne: So would you like to come in for a cup of coffee?
Marcus: Not even if Jesus was pouring it.
Gets me EVERY time!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
We should definitely take sex more seriously. Religion wants to sweep it under the rug, secularism is often seen as being the opposite. But neither side examines sex and the intricacies of relationships in a measured and serious matter.
This movie is full of black excellence. Can we please get reviews on the following romantic comedies:
Strictly Business
A Thin Line Between Love & Hate
Booty Call
Sprung
How To Be A Player
Woo
Half Plenty
The Best Man
'Should I pencil you in?' always makes me laugh.
Boomerang is my ALL TIME fave movie, as I am a romcom girl, and I adored me some Jaqueline!! Marcus deserved to be sad and unemployed in the ending tho. 😂
not sad and unemployed lol 😂
I didn't want her to take Marcus back either. But it literally was her decision.
I know 🥲
Trash ending. Yes. I finally saw this movie a few months ago, and I really hated that Marcus got back with Angela in the end. The main character had to get a happy ending I guess, but she deserved better and he deserved worse. Also being a 90s kid, it was cool to see these black stars in one film, even in small roles, and the soundtrack was nostalgic.
The original ending was Marcus, Jarod and Trey on the rooftop and running to put out the kitchen fire
The screen audiences though it was "too comical ( yeah i know in a comedy film)"
That's why the rest of the film afterwards looks off
I need to rewarch that movie, a classic 😂
so good!
New subscriber! 🙌🏿 Brilliant, consistent, authentic content for our ppl 🔥
welcome in and thank you for subbing 💕
Tiffany - loved this-why? You are breaking down archetypes in film, life in America., sexual morays, which is really truth of how Americans ththinkManypeople do not know how much storytelling & visuals on film affect them (1970s films with the long love scenes) Also you are illustrating Christian values Yes!
❤ you & yr editing & joy & entertainment in between! Very fine way to get points across! I am a bit older but - Go girl!
“It’s horror. It’s a horror movie!” Yes! Finally, someone sees the movie in the same way that I do! 😂😂😂
i don't have any panties onn..
Wow, I wonna see boomerang again. It's been a long time. This was an amazing movie with a all black cast. , the plot was so good! I mean Tyler Perry should take notes! 😉
truly!
I thoroughly enjoyed your break down of this movie! It really is a great example of what not to do if the goal is to have healthy relationships!
Maaahhhcusss!
i loved this movie so much as a youngster...
i loved seeing all the gorgeous black people....and STRANGE' was a masterstroke....
i think i can quote it word for word
I'm Nigerian
One thing I noticed you didn’t touch on, which was Marcus character development
that through the film you see Marcus concept of love and finding the “perfect woman” change, Jocelyn is what he thought he wanted, he was chasing a fantasy, she only wanted him once she knew he was taken and in a better place, it took him to completely lose Angela before understanding what love really is, and that there isn’t a perfect woman and everything he needed was right in front him
Your channel is a breath of fresh air. Wonderful analysis and I agree with your take on how to carry ourselves in relationships.
Now I wanna watch Boomerang! I think I will later! Lol Welcome back! These videos help me out a lot! And Vampire in Brooklyn is my movie!#MAAARCUS
The algorithm sent me to you and I ❤ your channel. You hit a lot of points that I've thought myself. Thanks for the memories. The soundtrack had so many hits.. . . . What are your thoughts on this "pass around" generation? The ones that have in common a baby by Future, Drake or Nick AND others. It makes it difficult to teach children otherwise becz it seem to be exciting & dramatic.
ooh, how much time you got??! lol no but seriously, it is very disturbing to me. How comfortable we’ve gotten with openly sharing, partners and ridiculing the last person to do so. The sexual tendencies of our culture has gotten to be pretty depraved and many of us, don’t realize the lasting impacts of our decisions with our bodies. We don’t realize that it affects more than just us and how sacred recreational is doing more harm than good. I have a lot of thoughts about the baby Mama/ baby daddy culture but I will leave that for another video.
@@TiffanyByrdHarrison👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Broken homes used to be frowned upon. Now, they're more commonplace. Talk about going backwards. 😔
I love when people do analyses on my favorite movies, Boomerang in particular. I always say the women were the ones I rooted for in this movie. They were the stars.
Lady Eloise definitely was a precursor of what to expect in the movie going forward between the sexual encounter she had with Marcus. I would argue and say Lady Eloise was the older version of Jacqueline 💀💀 (leaning more on the cougar side that is). And I agree with your analysis of Angela. I heard that the reason they made Halle Berry look homely in this movie was so she couldn’t outshine Robin Givens (they’re both gorgeous women, so no need to compare those two. It’s ridiculous, but whatever). Angela lowkey did give me pick me vibes. I understood that her character was suppose to be the “sweet and kind” archetype to Jacqueline’s vengeful and sour type, but it was bothering me. Not only that, but she friendzoned Gerard too. (Poor Gerard). Gerard was the only male character i wanted to see win at something, you know he was the nice guy always finish last type of person.
Boomerang will always be classic to me, and I feel like it should be heralded more. The writing and story is original (to me) and it didn’t center on white people. A movie that will never get old.
PS: Marcus is still an asshole 😙.
Jarod is the Russell Wilson Black Women say they want but settle for Marcus who is Future 🤷🏾♂️
I actually like this analogy a lot!
No doubt.
Jarod was Angela’s type but she wanted what was very attractive to others. The ending happens all the time even 30 years later after this film came out.
I like your reviews and how you keep it unisex but certain accountability needs to be given for Men & Women and not both. I’m watching your Hitch review and that came to mind. Great stuff content tho.
yeah but Russell is gorgeous and rich
Hey Tiff!!! Glad to see you and loving this review!🌟♥️
What a deep, concise and brilliant analysis. And kudos for the team for making a romcom with substance. Thank you Love for the work you do!
Messsaaaaaagggee! Don't be a ketchup packet! 😂 I love it Tiff!
thank you, Cuz!!
Great breakdown! This movie was such a Gem. 😊
#MAAARCUS darling!!! Brilliant, insightful, amazing, outstanding, remarkable, and wonderful. I couldn't decide on which word to use to describe this review, so I used all of them. The quality of the review, presentation, and message is next level and much needed. Please keep this up!!!
😂😂😂😂 Tiffany you had me cracking up through out this video, Great Job Lady T
Thank you, imani!!
Brilliant. Another terrific, thoughtful , meta review. Love it and send you prayers of acceleration and influence. THe world needs you!
thank you for this thoughtful comment! (sorry that I’m so late)
Soooo happy your back Tiffany, we’ve missed you!!❤️Thank you for another outstanding deep dive- on one of my favorite nostalgic films!🙌🏼👏🏼That famous part where Angela told Marcus: Love should’ve brought your a** home last night with her finger on his forehead- I felt that & it was so satisfying to me!🔥🔥🔥I also enjoyed the fashion & backdrop of this gem.😍I’ll be re-visiting this film, thanks to you.😁💕
Maaaaaahhhhrcuuuuuzzzzsssss 🤭
you have very good quality on this video
Marcus ran game on Angela..brought the kids and everything...Angela fell for that shit and Marcus NEVER learned anything...Boomerang, indeed
Great to see a new vid from you!
This was a really insightful breakdown, I appreciate you talking about these movies! #MAARCUS
Thank you for not being holier than thou 🙏🏿
So interesting that you said you were each one of these characters at one point because I was just thinking that about myself. Even my eleganza mack daddy of the month vibe was tragic. That was a crazy time.
So what's the next classic movie you plan to ruin for me? 😀
Btw, hoping you’ll do a deep dive on ‘Brown Sugar’ one day.😁
MAACUS
main point with the marcus and angela situation: marcus used angela to get his confidence back and angela came off as a pick me girl
The amount of hate Jacqueline hates reminds me of how people hated Brandy from A thin line between love and hate. (Similar/parallel movies btw). They both weren’t villains, but Brandy was a tad bit psycho.
I enjoyed this video as much as I enjoyed your afro.
ha! i so appreciate that!
Maaarrrccurss
Maaaarrrccuss
Daaaahhhlllinnnngggg 🤣
Rip Eartha Kitt
Maaaaaarcus! 😂
I'm loving the grey 😍
oh no, i just found your video on engaging veiwers, wanted to see where you were on your journey, looks like you took a break and your veiwer count dropped. anyways hope you have a beautiful day thanks for the vid 2 years ago lool
I wanna see you act like Grace Jones😅😅😅
#MAAARCUS!!!😂
Marcus
Having a literal trigger warning for sexual themes in a movie that aired in regular theaters in 1992 is just sad. Have *some* respect for your audience.
