I was thrilled to learn that Eddie Murphy, one of my all time favorite comedians, was making a sequel to one of my favorite movies and the best movie he's made, next to "Trading Places". I'm sad to say that "Coming 2 America" was a disappointment.
The writing wasn't very good and seemed rushed, many of the jokes weren't funny, and the new characters (Leslie Jones, Tracy Morgan, and Jermaine Fowler) were obnoxiously stereotypical. I was shocked that they chose Akeem's son to lack any innate nobility. He's 30 years old, lives with his mom, and scalps tickets.
He should've been a hard worker working a demanding, thankless job and his boss is Darryl, who's still married to the ever flirtatious, Patrice. Anyway, that's my opinion. I'm giving the movie a two because of the gorgeous costumes. All the possibilities this movie could've been.
