Immersed in luxury and riches, courteous Prince Akeem, the refined heir apparent to Africa's prosperous kingdom of Zamunda, summons up the courage to reject an arranged marriage proposal on his twenty-first birthday. As a result, bent on finding true love, the young blue blood finds himself in the strange urban jungle of New York City's Queens. Now, to mask his regal descent, Akeem, and his trusted valet, Semmi, have to pose as humble exchange students, doing their best to mingle with their neighbours. But, more than anything in the world, the noble bachelor yearns to be loved for who he is, and not for his title. Is Prince Akeem destined to find his soulmate in America's bustling Big Apple?
Leave your thoughts about Coming to America.
| Film ThreatBrad LaidmanEddie Murphy does everything in this movie successfully. Coming To America remains his most personal work and a great argument that a movie can be decent and wholesome despite having enough profanity to make Bill Cosby lose sleep. A perfect argument for Eddie Murphy as decent guy even without the fame and fortune. Not that he's planning on giving it back though. |
| Chicago TribuneGene SiskelThough Coming to America is a romantic comedy the director steers the film more often toward quick, in-and-out comic situations and gags that are only mildly funny. In part this is due to the fact that Mr. Murphy plays the prince with cheerful, low-keyed innocence that is completely legitimate, but is not supported by the short attention span of the screenplay. The romance is tepid. |
| United Press InternationalCathy BurkeComing to America, starring Eddie Murphy and directed by John Landis, takes a lame idea and some very talented comedic actors and manages to avoid a complete disaster. But just barely. |
| New York Daily NewsKathleen CarrollMurphy has dealt audiences the movie equivalent of a royal flush and he is now clearly Hollywood's reigning king of comedy. |
| Washington PostHal HinsonComing to America isn't as aggressively awful as the "Cop" films or "The Golden Child," but at least in those films there was something to react to. In making Coming to America, Murphy seems to have set his sights on the lowest prize imaginable. He aspires to blandness. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonThe main pleasure in America comes in the romancing of prince and pauper. But the comedy is a mere handmaiden. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. Anderson[Landis] takes a very specific joy in the act of moviemaking and calls attention to it, placing it at a level above the romantic story. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...a worthy followup to Murphy and Landis' first collaboration, Trading Places. |
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonMurphy delivers one of his most likable performances. |
| eFilmCritic.comScott WeinbergLandis' last great comedy is a true Eddie Murphy-fest. |
