Rating: 3/5 -- Silly, curse-happy '80s Eddie Murphy vehicle. Full Review

The director is ... rather distracted; John Landis seems to be browsing through the scenes rather than gobbling them down. Full Review

Coming to America, starring Eddie Murphy and directed by John Landis, takes a lame idea and some very talented comedic actors and manages to avoid a complete disaster. But just barely. Full Review

Rating: 2.5/4 -- Murphy gives his sweetest, most touching, and most genuinely likable performance to date, playing a character who embraces society instead of holding it in contempt. Full Review

A screenplay that seems to have escaped its doctors before it was entirely well.

Product Description:

In this modern-day fairy tale, Eddie Murphy stars as a wealthy and pampered African prince who comes to America in search of a bride. His destination, of course, is Queens, New York. Accompanied by his closest companion (Arsenio Hall), the Prince quickly finds a job, new friends, new digs, new enemies, and more trouble than he ever imagined. COMING TO AMERICA is a hysterical fable with Murphy and Hall playing hilarious multiple roles with the help of astounding makeup effects.
