Not bad, but also not good. Was enjoyable. Eddie Murphy has certainly better movies.

Great movie if you ask me 8.5/10

Love it! Great laughs and leaves me feeling pure joy!

One of Eddie Murphy's better films. Looking for a Queen in Queens, NY is a good plot. A fish out of water film but it works. Good supporting cast.

Love this movie all-time classic

John Landis’ Coming to America is a comedic and romantic masterpiece that has only grown in charm and appeal over the years. Eddie Murphy’s dual performance as Prince Akeem and several other equally hilarious supporting characters is nothing short of fantastic. Showcasing his hilarious comedic timing. The film’s humor is sharp, clever, and filled with romance, with every scene brimming with infectious energy. Arsenio Hall is the perfect fit as Akeem’s loyal friend Semmi, and not forgetting the fantastic James Earl Jones who plays Akeem’s father King Jaffe Joffer.

An old movie, but one I enjoyed when I first saw it, and even more so this weekend. I think truly well written, smart, amazing cast, and well worth watching. I got so many laughs again… such a nice way to spend a few Saturday hours. A five!

Its one of the best movies for me. I watched it like 1000 times. Everything in this movie is perfect!

Very cute and interesting

Timeless classic!!!

I think they held back, I think their shock would be greater. NRJ.

One of my favourite feel good movies.

Eddie Murphy is a really great actor as a prince! This movie shows how hard it is to find a woman that isn't a gold digger!

this movie goes so hard

Ridiculously hilarious and hilariously ridiculous, "Coming to America" is inventive and witty.

It's one of the best comedies of all time. It's probably Eddie Murphy's best. It's a classic and they could not replicate it, only still what they wish they had done.

I've watched this movie many times whenever Netflix has it I probably watch it once every 3 months or so

Deliciously fresh, funny, csmart, reative, mildly socially critical, and irreverend it's-okay-to-laugh-at-yourself Eddie's-talent-is-too-big-for-one-role-anyway kind of movie (with great supporting roles, too). Hilarious! Had me rolling in the aisles. (Pity they attempted a usless and braindead carbon copy decades later.)

I have re-watched it many times and it never gets old.

One of Eddie Murphy's best comedies from the late 80s He's headlined by a great supporting cast of Arsenio Hall, James Earl Jones, Shari Headley, Louie Anderson, and Samuel L. Jackson John Landis makes a fish-out-of-water comedy about a Royal who just wants to feel free In the nation Zamunda Prince Akeem is obligated to choose a future queen But he wants a woman that stimulates him on an intellectual level rather than physical He and his buddy Semmi embark to America to find a suitable woman He's not quite used to things in the big city of Queens so he dons a disguise as a foreign exchange student working fast food A young woman named Lisa he falls hard for but also keeping his title a secret Akeem is likable cause he values a woman's opinion not just to have a wife that'll obey his every whim, he’s naive, optimistic, and innocent Lisa is likable too being an advocate for black awareness and politics yet she doesn't want her entire life planned out by anyone This was also one of the first instances Murphy played multiple roles by himself The film even offers a different view of Africa itself; it's not a desert land by any stereotypical means but rather a palatial estate very opulent bathed in wealth and beauty The costumes and set designs are so intricate and elegant Is it always tradition for men to have power?, no journey is too great when one finds what he seeks, love should matter more than status or decree, finding someone that matches you is more important than by fancy titles Think of this as a reverse-Cinderella going from riches to rags Heck there's even similarities between this and Black Panther as far as the cultural influences showing there's more than just pre-conceived notions about its peoples This is a bit stagnant at 2 hours since you know a majority of plot points but still you can tell Murphy works some of his best chops
