Review of Coming 2 America (2021) by Jluis_001 — 11 Mar 2021

I said it when I revisited Coming to America long ago; This sequel was a bad idea, and Coming 2 America was also a bad film. It's a product of its time, that's true, but this was dead on arrival, and what keeps it alive artificially is only the nostalgia of the original film.

And I say this because it's more than clear, that although this one will have a new audience, and aims at it, it also depends too much on those who know and have seen the first one.

Of course, there's a sense of familiarity, but at times, this film is closer to Norbit, than to the grace and spirit of the original.

It's a real disappointment, and it's a disappointment that I already expected, even so it was sad to see it unfold.
