kayco-51768 Coming to America is a romantic comedy starred by comedian Eddy Murphy, and starred by actress and actors Arsenio Hall, John Amos, James Earl Jones, and Shari Headley. Coming to America was produced by George Falsey Jr. and Robert D. Wachs on June 29, 1988. In the film Coming to America, Akeem Joffer, a royal prince has become tired of his daily life, so he wants to pursue the life of his own. Akeem plans to come to America to find a nice wife that he can both love and respect. Akeem and his best friend flip a coin and that decided the city which Akeem would go, which is New York City. Seeking for a wife, Akeem plans to meet a girl who loves him for who he is and not because he's rich and also because of his prince status. Will he find that ideal women? Coming to America's cinematography is outstanding from the sound, to the dialogue, to the visual effects, to the editing of plot. The dialogue was very comical. The visual effects were very clear and precise. The writers of Coming to America made a clear theme of the movie and the movie carried a very interesting plot. Coming to America have two major essential themes. The first theme of the movie is loving someone for who they are and not for their money and wealth. Akeem's appointed lover Imani was a big gold digger. She loved him for money and wealth. Akeem knew she wasn't a real woman. Another theme discussed in the movie is that money doesn't buy happiness. In the beginning of the movie, Akeem is fed up with the life of a prince and wants to enjoy a real life. He was in for a treat when he moved to America. I give this movie a 10/10! It is a very good movie filled with comedy and romantic scenes. Children ask parents before watching this movie.

billkincaid Eddie Murphy was at the peak of his career when he made this movie. Which says a lot about it - the studio was looking for an Eddie Murphy vehicle to get him into the theaters, stat, and they threw this mess together as a result. One might question the fantastic castle the prince lived in during his years in Africa, as Africa is not known for castles. Rather, he more likely lived in a mud hut, but one larger than the other mud huts in his village. The vanity that an African prince somehow lived in the same sort of luxury enjoyed by royalty in western Europe is an insult to the intelligence of the audience, who surely must notice the lack of programs about "The Great Castles of Africa" on the AWE channel. Next, there is the Bruce Lee-esque fighting the prince engages in during the altercation at the restaurant. Again, Africa has no known martial arts tradition. Certainly, there is plenty of violence in Africa, but the brutality of child soldiers swinging machetes and inter-tribal limb-lopping is far from what Eddie portrayed in the fight scene.I think there's a lot of wishful thinking in this movie. Much of it centers around wishing the studio could throw a bunch of audience-pandering into a script, stick a star's name on the poster, and make a fortune. In at least the profitability sense, they succeeded, but this is not a good movie. Sad that it's one of the best Eddie managed to make.

Joe Raven Very intelligent way to write a silly movie. Laughing all the way through. The quotable lines in this film are never ending. The James Earl Jones character was spot on. No one else could've pulled it off. Murphy is so versatile. He must've played 10 parts in this film. The storyline was interesting and the buildup was just the proper length. The scenery was beautiful even if cgi. The chemistry between murphy and hall is evident through the entirety of the film. The chemistry between murphy and his love interest is also evident even though I don't believe they ever worked together. For a comedy, there are twists, turns, and drama that kept me interested the whole movie. This is a must see!
