Eddie Murphy is a Prince in Africa and decides to leave before his matchmade wedding to sew his oates. His real goal is to truly fall in love with somebody genuine. He brings lacky Arsenio Hall with him and ends up in NYC. Murphy who is rich brings only petty cash with him and finds himself in a neighborhood bordering on Brooklyn-Queens. His first stop a Barber shop where Murphy and Hall play characters from an Old black stubborn fight fan to a jewish-american jokester. This material is classic! They venture on to nightclubs doing their own characters and Arsenio even does a classic reverand at at a Church. They find themselves working at Mc Dowells a parody for Mc Donalds where they work with the unenthused Louie Andersen. Murphy meets the boses daughter who is already dating the pre ER Erique La Salle. She falls for Murphy after he stands up to hold up man Samuel L. Jackson. Landis connects this movie to the previous "Trading Places" by showing the homeless Don Ameche and Ralph Bellamy recieve a gift from the the Prince. Although this movie has it's serious side this is probably Murphy's funniest movie, Stand Up aside. It's hard to forget Murphy singing Jackie Wilsons "To Be Loved" in the middle of the night only to be told by the neighbors to Shut Up! This is a must see!Coming To America - movie_pro
Eddie Murphy is very funny and it is one of his best movies I have seen in a long time. The movie idea was good and well orginized. About a guy who loves a women not in the royality of live. It shows that you can achieve what ever you set your mind out to do and enjoy life to the fullest. A five star sellection.Classic Eddie Murphy - punkjuliette
What a great movie. I remember watching it years ago when it came out. For some reason I was mesmerized by it. I wouldn't exactly say that I am mezmerized by it now. But it's one of those movies that can stand the test of time. It's still hilarious even though it is over 15 years old. Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall are a great pair. They feed off of each other to make this one of my favorite comedies of all time.
