How has this movie remained off my radar for soo long? Strong, believable characters portrayed by a stellar ensemble cast. Clever yet simple plot. The film engaged me the entire way through. Straight to my top 20 films.
In preparation of watching 'Coming 2 America', I re-watched the 1988 original - a movie that I enjoyed often as a teenager. I was surprised at the poor production quality but refreshed my memory nonetheless. I needn't have bothered, as this hastily-put-together sequel described the plot a few times even resorting to showing footage from the original to spoon-feed the new audience. I was hoping for a movie a little more sophisticated than its 33-year old predecessor but did not receive it. It was un-funny. I was pleased to see the return of original cast members, however I would describe Eddie Murphy's involvement in the project as a glorified cameo. Murphy did not write this either, which was evident when compared to the original.
Sufficed to say that the only reason I watched the entire film was out of loyalty to the original - which, I shall never watch again either.
Sigh.
