Customer Reviews of Coming to America
EM has done his thing - it is time to move on Eddie Murphy did a few great comedies, truly of genius. Then, once he said what he had to say, he started drfting into roles that he walked through. They singularly lacked inspiration, originality, or energy. This is one of those mediocre films: while they tried to spice it up with the multiple role playing, most of the jokes in this - not to forget the entire plot - fall pretty flat. To make up for the lack of a spark, it just gets more vulger and outlandish. <

>Not recommended, except for devotees.
The best comedy movie of the 80's
Eddie Murphy is fantasic in this movie. He should've did a sequel to this one. It had me laughing from start to finish, I love him playing the white guy when he asked Hakeem's father "this is nice what is this velvet to daryl's family getting up from the sofa leaving activator. I especially love paul gates singing as well as hakeem sing. "Someone to care someone share lonely hours of moments to despare to be loved, to be loved. Well you know the rest anyway if you don't have this in your collection you need to. This is a movie that you'll never get sick and tired of seeing.

>Eddie Murphy plays as an African prince, Akeem of Zamunda, who goes to Queens in New York, to find a wife who loves him for what he is and not because he is a prince. He needs a wife that he can respect for her intelligence. This is a break from the tradition of his country. In Queens, he comes across many women who do not impress him until one day he meets someone at a church rally (Shari Headley playing as Lisa McDowell) who is beautiful, kind and sincere. From then on, an exciting comedy develops where Akeem manages to snatch the beautiful Lisa from the arrogant and thoughtless Darryl Jenks (Eriq La Salle) with whom she was already having a relationship

>This movie shows how versatile and brilliant Eddie Murphy and his co-star Arsenio Hall are as they play many roles and characters with makeup disguising them, feats they accomplished with unparallel expertise. Their talents and innovativeness are evident in the brilliant playing of various characters of different races and gender, which transforms a rather silly plot into an unforgettable and hilarious film.

>For me the funniest scenes are the guys in the barbershop but also includes various other moments such as Darryl as the jerry curled boyfriend of Lisa and the lady in the bar who says that she has a secret, she worships the devil.

>This is an excellent film, well produced and flows beautifully from one scene to the next. The movie has a brilliant cast of African Americans. This is Eddie Murphy at his best with witty dialogue, good jokes and romance. If you like Eddie Murphy, and you like comedy, then this is a film not to be missed.
