Review of Coming to America (1988) by Tory M — 14 Oct 2018
John Landis hits a home-run with Coming to America, featuring Eddie Murphy at the height of his powers. He plays the son of an African kingdom ruler(thus heir) who travels to America because he does not want an arranged marriage at home.
This is a typical fish out of the water plotline with plenty of laughs and plenty of heart. The actors are all very good especially James Earl Jones as the father. If you in mood of a funny movie- one that is reeking of nostalgia than Coming to America is a film you should consider.
In my opinion this is both Landis's and Murphy's best effort. (Laughs galore in this Eddie Murphy movie).
