Drains all the texture and thorny Black Americana out of the original in favor of callbacks and cheap gags. There's so little meat on its clothesline narrative, with none of the older film's sweetness added to this one's relatively tame depiction of aspiration nor frankness added to this toothless story of reverse assimilation. Ugly too, replacing the wintry New York locations with soundstages and green screens, shot like a sitcom. Really disappointing from Brewer.
2 COMING 2 AMERICA
well folks, it ain't some fucking bullshit like Dumb And Dumber To or Zoolander 2, so thank god for that
this is actually an okay sequel in my opinion, it's funny enough, it ties back to the original in many ways and it adds some great new characters
jermaine fowler is a great addition, he was great in Buffaloed which i watched the other day, and good in this, he's gonna be a star
wesley snipes, holy shit, black truly don't crack, the man still looks 30, nice to see him having a nice career resurgence, he's great
eddie and arsenio are good, but even better are their wacky characters they bring back from the barber…
Thirty-three years after the original, Craig Brewer's Coming 2 America is a shell of the original. Following King Akeem, as he learns he has a long-lost son in the United States, the story sounds like one that's original enough, but sadly it quickly becomes apparent that it's a rehash of the original's themes with a similar plot and almost identical jokes that while offering a few laughs, aren’t anything like they used to be.
Yesterday I finally checked out the original, 1988's Coming to America, which proved to be a lot better than I had previously expected. Eddie Murphy's Akeem was excellent and Arsenio Hall's Semmi was hilarious. The storyline was surprisingly fun while holding some hilarious comedy and great…
“Prepare the royal jet. We are going back to America!”
I don’t like being negative towards movies where you can see at least some care was put into their production, but Coming 2 America is so boringly unfunny it’s hard to justify giving it any credit. It operates almost solely off of nostalgia from its predecessor, which I still believe is pretty good, but misses every aspect that made it such a classic in the first place; completely falling flat in terms of humour, style, charm, and even characters, weirdly under-utilising Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall in favour of new actors who, while not bad, don’t match the original spirit at all. I appreciate Eddie Murphy’s return to acting, which…
Despite an extremely messy narrative that gets lost between numerous jarring sequences, the impressive production value & brilliantly comedic performances save the day to result in an enjoyable film that will be fun for the whole family!
FULL REVIEW ON THE GLOBAL FILM PODCAST
Ich hab aufmerksam mitgezählt - alle Schmunzler, jedes Kichern und hartes Schenkelklopfen zusammen genommen, komme ich aufgerundet auf exakt - 0 Lacher. Jap..als Komödie funktioniert Eddies Neuer mal wieder ganz hervorragend. Was soll man aber auch erwarten, wenn ein Drittel der Gags in der Zeit stecken geblieben sind, in der Eddie Murphys Karriere zuletzt so richtig in Schwung kam. Ansonsten gibt man sich woke und selbstreferenziell und generell alle Mühe, überhaupt Gründe zu liefern, weshalb dieser zweite Teil nun sein muss, aber witzig ist das beim besten Willen nicht.
Immerhin wird es ab dem ersten Drittel aber zunehmend sympathischer. Was Murphy und der alten Garde mittlerweile an Pepp fehlt, machen die jungen Darsteller wett. Die Geschichte und sämtliche Storybeats sind zwar…

The African monarch Akeem learns he has a long-lost son in the United States and must return to America to meet this unexpected heir and build a relationship with his son.
What starts out as a nice return to form, featuring solid performances and funny moments, ends up following the same formula that most of these comedic sequels do. Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall and genuinely great, and their chemistry is top-notch here. It feels so wonderful to have Murphy back in a role like this, as he has always been one of my favorites. Jermaine Fowler plays Akeem’s long lost son that he has to go to America (again) to…
An effective comedic showcase of overlapping cultures, family/gender norms and an engagingly facile story, Coming 2 America was able to obtain the wondrous classic feel of the original and simultaneously integrate modern touches to it. As opposed to just replicating the 1988 one, it builds off of it by perpetuating with this already established world. It senses a true understanding of the environment that the first engendered and utilizes that to its advantage, along with the fact that they are over 30 years apart. I also love how well the movie is able to play with its sets and production design. Each shot in Zamunda feels explosive and ingenious with its location giving the movie a nice style to grasp…
