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…

bad movie but ahhh it’s just so great to see Eddie Murphy having some fun on screen again
JackMar 7, 2021Thirty-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…
George ClarkMar 13, 2021“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…

- Israa likedComing 2 America
surely, the first one was original and greater with all the funny jokes and illogical scenes. but this one harboured the same magic, however a little more serious and family problems related.
Armand Boudon likedComing 2 AmericaThe original is of course the best. But this is a solid and great movie. I was thinking it wasn’t possible to make a second movie and that it would be terrible. But I got proven wrong. 7.9/10
Charlie Mills likedComing 2 AmericaI prefer the original. But this one was just a bit more modern. It’s just a funny comedy. Again love Eddie Murphy and his attributes to different characters 5.5/10

I haven’t seen the first one, so I can’t really compare the two, but I fairly enjoyed this movie and thought it was pretty funny. 7.2/10
Abigailh_xx likedComing 2 AmericaPretty good, not as good as the first one as it just kinda followed the same plot as the first movie. But it was still very good
Strange Girl likedComing 2 AmericaIt was good but not as funny as the first one. The plot is basically the same thing except for the obvious main story. (6-8-25)
