Classic Eddie Murphy
An old school classic comedy that showcases a great comedic actor at his very best.This was Eddie Murphy is at his most funniest (and serious in parts) role ever (imo anyway)

Murphy plays an african prince who wants to find a woman who will love him for himself not because he is royalty so he decides to head over to America to find said bride.He poses as a poor african student and when he eventually does find that special woman he goes all out to win her over while trying to keep his identity a secret.

A sequel is due to this next year (32 years after the original!!) and I just hope they dont ruin the legacy of the original with a painfully unfunny film.

It's been a very long time since I have seen this and it is certainly not comparable to Eddie Murphy's 80's classics (Beverly Hills Cop/Coming To America etc.). It's not particularly funny and the plot is a rather odd mix of far eastern mysticism and Murphy wisecracks with some very surreal moments (the dancing Pepsi can /demon Charles Dance). For me it's a bit of a mess and overall doesn't really work. It's not boring though and keeps you relatively entertained even if just to see what weird shit is going to happen next but it's definitely at the lower end of the scale of Eddie Murphy movies.

Hilarious fish out of water Eddie Murphy vehicle that hits all the right notes.
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.

An Hilarious take on the Prince and the Pauper played to great effect by Eddie Murphy as the poor man suddenly thrust into the money markets of Pork bellies and frozen orange juice, it's showing it's age badly now, but still very funny and a good retelling of the Twain classic.
