Peter G. (247 KP) rated Coming to America (1988) in Movies
Sep 6, 2019
Murphy produces his best African Prince impersonation with aplomb and dazzles the audience with that wide smile whenever he is onscreen and rivals Tom Cruise's smile st times.
This is some of Eddie's best work along side Trading Places and Beverley Hills Cop and this film was made at the height of his career.
Its Comedy Gold and a stone cold classic.

What stands out to me though (I watched the movie a few weeks ago) was all the things that annoyed me.
Like the African American kid from what appeared to be upper middle class whose mother made it seem like the team was his only hope of succeeding.
Also, the fact that it's of course the African American character in the game that is the one who loves alcohol and gets plastered without exercising any common sense.
Or, you know, the fact that it was just so funny to see Jack Black overplaying the 'female trapped in a man's body' thing to limp-wristing levels.
This movie could have been so much better than it was. But it was almost painful to watch. I was hoping we were moving past thinking that laughing at this type of crap was a good thing.
