The script is genuinely funny, but all the actors are amazing in all their parts. I'm also convinced that John Landis is a genius.

There are a lot of things to like about this. Eddie Murphy is at the top of his game. Arsenio Hall is just as good. I enjoyed the romance more than the comedy. Not enough movies about Africans vs. African Americans. Eriq La Salle was a great condescending Jheri curl jerk. Can't wait for Coming 2 America. Surprised they didn't cash in on a sequel sooner. Fav scene: the grand romantic gesture on the subway and Headley still says no.

Akeem is the Crown Prince of Zamunda, a kingdom in Africa. Akeem grew up in unprecedented luxury with servants for everything he could wish for. He doesn't even have to tie his shoes. When he is introduced to his bride at the age of 21, he knows after a short conversation that she is not the one. He asks his father for permission to go to America to find a bride there. Arriving in America, the wealthy prince adopts a poor lifestyle together with his servant Semmi.

I used to love this movie and gave it 85 % back in past. But I watched this after many years again (20.11.2020) and have to admit I love it even more nowadays than before. I do appreciate nice atmosphere and acting and it seems that all crew really enjoyed the shooting. It is beautiful fairy tale, comedy movie with beautiful actors and nice acting and it is romantic too... Just perfect to watch it together with somebody you are in love ;)

This one still holds a lot of charm for me, despite it marking the start of the collapse in quality of Murphy's and Landis' output - there's even a marked gulf in quality between this and Trading Places, now that I think about it. Even if it is a bit self-serving, there's lots to enjoy here - that barbershop action nonsense is great to watch. It's funny, warm, has some pretty decent lines and a likeable cast. Slight, but entertaining.

This might’ve been funny in the day? Maybe? I truly don’t know. But it contains maybe two laughs. Eddie Murphy’s shtick was talking ceaselessly and loudly and I can’t blame him for sticking with it after it made him a millionaire, but in a thin film like this it just falls flat. It doesn’t help that his main character is a cardboard cutout with a goofy grin.
