Would you get with a woman, you felt was very special, if you knew it was going to have your best friend feeling some kind of way, to the point ruining the relationship?

And why THE fukk were they acting like prime time Halle Berry, wasn't shytting all over Robin Givens? Halle was looking like freedom back then, and they really tried to play her off as homely in that film.:wtf:

Old-heads, did nikkas let that shyt slide, or was there outrage in theaters all over America?




Don't get me wrong, Robin was sexy af, but come on.:shaq2:

I remember when the movie dropped and saw it in the theaters.

Trust me when I tell you, the consensus has always been the Halle was the better looking between the two when people saw the movie.

I thought it was obvious in Boomerang though, that they specifically chose Halle because they needed someone to challenge Robin without having that mainstream attractive look to her for the purpose of the story. I think she was suppose to be the "girl next door" type.

Overall, I don't remember ANYONE claiming that Robin GIvens was even that attractive in the movie.

From what I can remember all ANYONE talked about after the movie--was how FINE Halle was and how funny the grandpop was. She was probably considered the most attractive "black" female in the early 90s after that role.

Halle then did "Queen" (this is around 1993 I think) and gained even more noteriety.


Either way, this movie brings back a lot of fond memories...that soundtrack with Tribe Called Quest song "Hot Sex on a Platter" :why:

We'll for a movie called Boomerang, that nikka Marcus bounced back from the break with Robin and Halle and still won in the end. The only real loser was Gerard. Even Martin had baby girl from emergency when she got her stitches out :russ:

With Robin playing him like a sucka, he finally felt what it was like to be played. That whole situation, of feeling used, his business out there, being a laughingstock at work, almost losing someone he really cared for.."

It ain't against the rules to bounce back :heh:

As far as Gerald, there is a difference between a "nice guy" and a complete square :scusthov:

Scust at playing the overrate/underrate game with Halle and Robin. :pacspit:

Robin Givens was fine as fukk, her and Halle were on the same level.

:russ: at this thread yall nikkas silly


1.Robin Givens
2.Lela Rochon
3.Halle Berry

Fixed. In 1992, that was the case, Halle was playing crackheads at that time while Robin was the sexy love interest of Theo, she was that deal.

Now after 1994 (after The Flintstones, yeah nikkah The Flintstones):

1. Halle
2. Lela
3. Robin
