A horrendous dumpster fire, I barely laughed. Arsenio Hall and Eddie Murphy are supposed to be two funny guys, but yet the only actor who could squeak out a laugh (he made me laugh ONCE, which was the only time this COMEDY MOVIE did) was WESLEY SNIPES, who's more notable for his serious roles. If you loved the first movie, don't kill your nostalgia for it by watching this garbage. Jesus Eddie, what the hell man?!… Expand

Coming 2 America is in America for five minute of the whole film making the title daft to begin with but the biggest issue is how funny it isn’t. I laughed properly once the whole film for a sequel to one of my favourite movie memories of all time. God this is bad and the writers need to be fired.… Expand

The storyline is just thin and the only "comedy" is lame sex jokes or other humor for 6-12 year olds. The storyline with the women's rights could be implemented well, but is just badly designed just to have a feministic base. I still had hope that the movie wouldn't be that bad, but it's actually worse than my low expectations. But unfortunately this is only another sequel, resulting from the “lust for money” of the production studios and unfortunately also of the actors. Rap, feminism, wokeness, curvyness, blackness and sexual freedom - a classic streaming film from 2021. Sad And that's what I say as a 20-year-old young person. Destroys nostalgia!… Expand

I love the original, it is a rare movie you can watch over, and over. That being sad Norbit, The Nutty Professor movies, and Life are 100x funnier than this sequel. It is funnier than Barb And Star if you have seen that.
Pros: Returning characters (Amos,J.E. Jones, etc.)
Eddie, and Arsenio in SFX makeup as characters from first movie, and one new one by Arsenio which was amusing. Wesley Snipes was decent, but needed some funnier scenes. Instead of same thing over, and over.
Leslie Jones did her usual, but a little of her goes a long way.
Cons:
New characters (The Young Male Lead, Luenell, Tracy Morgan)
When I'm watching this movie I want to see Arsenio, and Eddie. Instead I get way too much of the new guy, and his family. Luenell is wasted just sits around for most scenes, and has barely any lines (Why?)
The background songs in this movie are awful, really annoyingly bad. The scene with the young male lead where he raps is head slappingly cringeworthy.
Eddie is way too laid back in this as Hakeem, and only shines when in SFX makeup as another character. In the original he isn't over the top funny as Hakeem but he is more entertaining because of the fish out of water experience he is having in New York. This time he is in Zamunda most of the movie, and it makes Hakeem BORING.
Sorry Eddie, love a lot of your work but this needed a lot more refining.… Expand

Welcome back to Wakanda... *coughs*, I mean, Zamunda. After 30 years of no one waiting for this, we finally got our sequel to Coming to America with Coming 2 America. Oh, so clever there. Long awaited and overdue but also, maybe, too late asWelcome back to Wakanda... *coughs*, I mean, Zamunda. After 30 years of no one waiting for this, we finally got our sequel to Coming to America with Coming 2 America. Oh, so clever there. Long awaited and overdue but also, maybe, too late as well. Either way, Coming 2 America follows our favorite heir of Zamunda, Prince Akeem, as he secures his family legacy after learning he has a long-lost son in the United States. He returns to Queens to meet this unexpected heir and bring him back to Zamunda to build a relationship with him. Of course, if everything were that easy, there wouldn't be a movie but the rest we will leave up to you to detail the story. Let's see what we got.

Let's be honest, they pulled out all the stops with this movie. All of black acting and comedy royalty appear in this movie. The costumes and sets were all over the top and amazing. Rick Ross' house and Tyler Perry Studios definitely have everything you need for a regal movie set. The biggest qualm I know people are going to have is that this doesn't feel anything like the original. Yes, they take us down memory lane throughout the movie, but it hasn't brought back the feeling from 1988. We all know societal norms and acceptances and culture have changed since then. Nevertheless, after 30 years, it's impossible to recapture that comedic magic without being corny or overly campy. In fact, if I'm being honest, this movie is like 20 to 25 years too late. You can even hear how late it is in Eddie Murphy's accent, or lack there of. I'm going to tell you all now, "Get over it!"

Where this movie succeeds is that the cast is full of life. The themes of the film are nice and cute for the family. Just like Eddie's career as a whole, he's moved on to making films his kids can watch and be proud of, and there's nothing wrong with that. Coming 2 America has jokes that call back to the past, connections to comics and artists of the present but also ideals that people really shouldn't be fighting so hard to hold on to. The movie comes full circle but part of the issue is that we've been around and around this circle so many times. They waited 30 years to give us essentially the same movie and then just added in a storyline that has been beat to death over the last 5-10 years. This is where I think the filmmakers really missed. You don't call on an iconic film to make it ordinary but that's what we got. The thought of this movie feels rushed but we also come against the fact that the movie feels too long.

Coming 2 America is a movie that any family with teens and young adults can sit down and enjoy. The movie is in no way in the same ballpark as the original, but that shouldn't take away from the enjoyment you can get from it. I'd wish for more originality from this flick but I'll settle for endless cameos, nostalgic laughs and the cheap price of the movie. The actual movie is just a handful of popcorn but for the culture grab yourself a bowl and enjoy the call to the past.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The script is horrible. Besides the customs the entire movie lacks logical sense. The prince, now king, is presented with a vision of a son in America, product of a one night stand with a person who drugged him and had sex under the effects of drugs so he has no recollection of the act. Because the situation is from a female to a male I don’t see any complaints but if it were the opposite way pretty sure it would be people screaming RAPE. Then, nobody on the entire movie think about a paternity test, so, in reality we will never know if is his son for real. Then the queen partying with the mother of this bastard son like they were best friends, imagine that in real life!

What gets them to the States is their quest to find a bastard son. The film starts with rollicking exuberance and a lavish musical celebration. It’s also genuinely funny, esp. when Leslie Jones is on screen. Sadly, when they return to Africa the story toggles from the funnybone to the heart with a love story for the son (Jermaine Fowler). There are plenty of cameos, including Trevor Noah and Colin Jost, who’s less stiff than he was in Tom & Jerry. The comedy highpoint was the barber shop full of Murphy characters. Ruth E. Carter, who did equally exceptional work for Black Panther, has designed wonderful Afro-centric wardrobes (that BIG wedding dress). While there’s lots of comic energy and every actor is having a great time, the indulgence of dramatic interactions drags the movie down.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's hard to watch C2A and not draw direct comparisons to the original, in fact it's impossible. Why? Because the film is so intentionally self-referential that it practically begs you to, with so many returning characters and recycled jokes.

However, it IS a pretty good comedy... IF you understand it's a continuation from the original i.e. a sequel, rather than watch it with that comparative mindset and judge it against what is probably Eddie Murphy's funniest film.

The plot is basic, with the fish out of water being Prince/King Akeem's illegitimate son being brought from Queens NY, to Zamunda because of ages old succession laws requiring only a male heir to possess the throne. Throw in a subplot with a neighbouring state looking to get their offspring onto the throne for political/financial reasons and the story moves along quite nicely.

From an acting perspective Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall look like they're really enjoying themselves, as do all the actors returning from the first film (Shari Headley still looks gorgeous 32 years later!). The new actors/characters, especially the younger ones, aren't so good. Jermaine Fowler as Akeem's son Lavelle in particular lacks the charisma needed for the role, outside the comedy elements which he does do well. Wesley Snipes is hilarious as the Dictator from the neighbouring state, and pretty much steals all the scenes he's in.

But, there are problems with the film. It lacks bite and that sense of dread which the first movie had. Being R-rated CTA was able to derive characterisations/humour/depth through racism/profanity/culture clashes that C2A simply can't. It's newer PG-13 'woke' mantra means so much of that is replaced with trying to breathe modern sensibilities into a cliched narrative.

Overall though, it isn't terrible... It's just always going to compare unfavourably to it's predecessor.… Expand

But the best takeaway from COMING2AMERICA is Director Craig Brewer’s comedic touch in drawing the most laughs out of the cast-especially an older, but still hilarious Eddie Murphy! New cast member Leslie Jones is a scream — almost stealing every scene! Watch COMING2AMERICA tonight!!… Expand

The best line were for Jermaine and Tracy Morgan. Murphy was acting and redid his bits, some good, some bad. The music pieces didn't do anything for me. The funeral part was so forced on the watcher. I like the young kids in it. Snipes was maybe one good side of the movie. I give it 50%. I didn't laugh in this movie. For me it's just another sequel that failed on so many levels.… Expand

Miło się oglądało. Eddie i Arsenio nic się nie zmienili. A Lisa nadal piękna. Film nie psuje wspomnień. Czuć klimat lat 80-tych. :)

A worth while comedy movie. A great sequel. You should watch the first one before watching this

When I watched this, I didn't even realize that this is a sequel to the movie with the same title in 1988. That means it didn't matter if one haven't watch the first one before seeing this one. Viewing as a stand-alone comedy, I had a great time. The movie was over the top with exaggerated characters. For me, even though the jokes were simple, they worked well and I laughed many times throughout the runtime. As a comedy, that's all it takes to win me over. It might not be funny to some. I loved all the actors, especially Eddie Murphy, who played multiple characters in the movie. Even more, the movie looked very colorful and lively as there were many fun dance performances. The costumes were also great. As for the story, it was very predictable as I knew what was coming. Toward the end, it became cheesy, and dragged out too much. The theme of breaking the old conservative rules and embracing who you are were clear in the movie, but the cheesiness of the movie didn't make this theme feel all that important. Overall, despite the mediocre script, I still had a fun time with the movie, probably due to me being pretty easy with jokes. 7.5/10… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Do NOT listen to the haters! If you were a fan of the original, chances are good you will enjoy this movie! I was eagerly awaiting this movie as soon as I first heard about it. The fact that it went straight to Amazon Prime was a bonus (I'm a Prime member).

It did not disappoint! Yes people will say it's nothing like the original...true enough...but really how many sequels are better than the original huh? This movie has the right amount of nostalgia blended with entertaining new material and new characters. Yes the plot isn't super deep...but I found it quite hilarious. As in the 1st movie...there were also several spectacular African-themed dance numbers. While this movie might be better titled "Coming to Africa"...it doesn't have quite the name recognition. The movie only spends like 10 mins in America, the rest being in Zamunda. Jaffe Joffer us dead and Akeem is now king. He has 3 lovely daughters. Unfortunately the law of the land says a male must inherit the throne. In comes the bastard son from Queens that he's never heard of before. And this is where most of the fun begins. Some haters have complained it's got too much "wokeness". Nonsense! I'm a centrist myself and did not find the "too much wokeness" some haters are whining about. Perhaps they can't stand the idea that...SPOILER.........................................after all the trouble of finding his bastard son in America and bringing him to Africa, King Akeem eventually decides to change the centuries-old law of succession and makes his eldest daughter the official heir. And ain't nothing wrong with that.… Expand

What has happened to this world and why are people so harsh these days. This movie is soft hearted, great energy, fun acting and you can see everyone had such a good time making it. I personaly loved it and great follow up to the 1st movie. If your a person with no sence of the word "fun" in your life then those are the low reviews. If your someone who watched the first movie and are a fan of all these fantasic actors then this is a great movie!!! Really fun story that takes you away from the reality we are all living in these days. Don't take it seriously and enjoy everyone!… Expand

This is Eddy Murphy and Arsenio Hall at its best as we know them. Surprised they took so long to make a follow up of the original, because they didn't lose their touch and were back in the zone.

Surprised they took so long to make a follow up of the original, because they didn't lose their touch and were back in the zone. It was non stop fun. Didn't take themselves too seriously and that adds to the fun. The entire cast was great, even the extras. It was filmed in the same lighthearted tone as the original. The look and feel had a familiar 80s vibe to it together with the barber shop cameos. Wonderful remake! Took me straight back in time to the good old days!… Expand

The same recipe 30 years later, but with a better soundtrack and better costume design.

Was a sequel needed? Not particularly, but that doesn't mean it can't succeed in its own right.

It recycles a familiar royal succession story trope, not that there can really be many variations, but does it in a fresh heart warming way. ItWas a sequel needed? Not particularly, but that doesn't mean it can't succeed in its own right.

It recycles a familiar royal succession story trope, not that there can really be many variations, but does it in a fresh heart warming way. It stays true to the original heart and brings back all of the original cast in very effective way.

Some of the special effects are good, the de-aging however is the best in any movie or TV show I've seen.

It's also a nice throw back to the common films stereotypes of the 80's, allowing people of different races to smile and join in on the fun of African culture without any guilt or fear of a poorly timed joke.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I will keep this review short and simple. Coming 2 America was light on the story, heavy on nostalgia. This film barely had any new story elements except another reason King Akeem had to go on a trip to America, which was to find his long lost son, Lavelle. Still an enjoyable movie.… Expand
