Some people obviously have a problem with that, for the movie has been called a “fantasy,” a “reverse world” and “racist.”įor those who cannot rise above their own ignorance and admit to themselves that there are indeed successful black companies in this country, I suggest a review of the Black Enterprise magazine’s annual BE 100. “Boomerang” is a romantic comedy revolving around the lives of successful black people who work for a successful black company.

What has compelled me to this public voicing of opinion is the fact that some reviewers-whether they like the movie or not-have insisted on making an issue about the racial composition of the film. I must point out now that I am not utilizing this forum to attack, complain about or disagree with movie critics (and their reviews) in general. My new film, “Boomerang,” directed and produced by the aforementioned Hudlins, is the latest outlet for those critics who feel it necessary to demean and simplify the achievement of black people. Yet for every step we inch forward, for each iota of progress, there always will be those trying to knock us back down, and there always will be some who cannot accept our success. On behalf of my movie-making brothers and sisters, and all actors of color, I must say that Hollywood is finally-although slowly-opening its eyes to the great, diverse pool of black talent. African-American filmmakers such as Spike Lee, Reginald and Warrington Hudlin, Robert Townsend, Keenen Ivory Wayans, John Singleton, Julie Dash and Matty Rich have been able to have their stories told and receive the recognition they so justly deserve. Since that interview was published, there have been some positive strides made in the movie industry. My hope at that time-and it is just as strong, if not stronger, today-was that black artists be appreciated in Hollywood as much as white artists. Says Blaustein: “I’m shocked how many Black women have come up to me and said that this is the first time they saw a Black woman be a successful businesswoman, and it made a big difference in their lives.In an interview published almost three years ago, I mentioned I had a dream regarding black artists.

Part of the film’s legacy is its depiction of Black men and women succeeding equally in the corporate world, which was also explored in BET’s sequel series of the same name that aired from 2019 to 2020. THR‘s review praised the film as “the long-awaited comic vehicle that finally matches the talents of this gifted comedian,” and it won over audiences too, earning $131.1 million worldwide ($273.1 million today). “I went home that night with a headache from laughing so hard,” Hudlin recalls.

The movie had no shortage of laughs, including a memorable scene where John Witherspoon, as Grier’s dad, embarrasses his son over Thanksgiving dinner.
