Murphy's 1990 effort, Another 48 HRS., directed by Walter Hill, was generally ridiculed as a bland, stale remake of the hugely successful 1982 original. While the first film was praised for the colorful odd-couple interplay between Murphy and Nick Nolte, the sequel, according to Vincent Canby of the New York Times, collapsed under the weight of poor writing, uninteresting direction, and uninspired acting. "Mr. Murphy has two comic moments, which aren't enough for a feature-length film," Canby wrote. "He speaks dialogue as if he hadn't had time to figure out what it meant. When in doubt as to what to do, he adopts an expression of ineffable cool: that is, of heavy-lidded, sexually alert boredom. It's a lazy, unresponsive performance."

Murphy began a longtime romantic relationship with Nicole Mitchell after meeting her in 1988 at an NAACP Image Awards show. They lived together for a year and a half before getting married at the Grand Ballroom of The Plaza Hotel in New York City on March 18, 1993.[12] In August 2005, Mitchell filed for divorce, citing "irreconcilable differences." The divorce was finalized on April 17, 2006.[13].

Although the 1992 Boomerang received mixed reviews, the mix was in Murphy's favor to an extent that it had not been in years. The movie, created by the brother team of Warrington and Reginald Hudlin, makers of the critically praised film House Party, featured Murphy as a hot shot cosmetics executive whose woman-chasing lechery is superseded, to his dismay, by the man-hunting zeal of his new female boss, played by actress Robin Givens. Reviewing the comedic tale of sexual role reversal in the black boardroom, Jay Carr wrote in the Boston Globe, "It took him a while, but Eddie Murphy finally got the message that the disarming cockiness of a 19-year-old Saturday Night Live star had bloated into off-putting arrogance 10 years later. So, following the public cooling to Murphy in Harlem Nights and Another 48 HRS., he went back to the drawing board for some image retooling. The result is Boomerang, a smart comedy that sends a few interesting messages, the big one being that Murphy has learned his lesson."
