Movie Review: Coming to America


Eddie Murphy stars as an African prince (among other characters) who goes on a quest for a wife in the United States. Real life best buddy Arsenio Hall plays his faithful servant Semmi. He also acts out several other characters.

Looking on a map, the prince finds a town named Queens and heads out there to find himself a nice lady to marry. He falls in love with the daughter of his boss at "McDowell's" which looks strangely similar to a well known hamburger franchise with golden arches.

I liked the rather silly twist on Cinderella this film depicted. With Murphy and Hall each playing several characters, it gets funnier with each viewing. Make it a game of "spot the actor" and have some fun.

Wow only one copy of this DVD in Bandon.
