Before there was Jim Carrey, before there was Adam Sandler, before there was Will Ferrell, Ben Still, Seth Rogen, Kevin Hart or Jonah Hill, there was Eddie Murphy, and he was not only the King of Comedy but also box-office gold between the 80s and 90s, and among the very few who could pull off action along with comedy a la American Jackie Chan. Among his biggest hits was 1988's Coming 2 America a lovely myth-busting of African sterotypes way back in the 80s, peppered with non-stop humour, a fell-good romance, and a plot that almost played out like a Bollywood movie. So, does the sequel that arrives 33 years later hold up to its predecessor's lofty standards. Well, it doesn't, but that also doesn't mean that it's not a decently enough enjoyable watch on its own.
So, are you excited about what to watch this weekend or what to watch this week and wondering whether Coming 2 America is worth your time? Scroll down for my full Coming 2 America review...
What's it about
Akeem Joffer (Eddie Murphy) has settled into the idyllic royal-family life with his wife, queen Lisa (Shari Headley) and their three daughters. Soon, he's crowned king of the fictionalised African country of Zamunda after his father and former king, Jaffe Joffer (James Earl Jones), breathes his last, but not before dropping a huge bomb that Akeem has an illegitimate son back in America, conceived during his trip there in the first film, and needs to bring him back as not only can none of his daughters can take the throne next according to tradition, but it'll also bring peace with the warring neighbouring nation of Nextdoria, whose leader's sister Akeem had rejected years ago after he found his American bride.
