Az afrikai Zamunda jövendő uralkodója nem akarja feleségül venni a szülei által kijelölt lányt, ezért New Yorkba megy megtalálni az igazit, s ott szegény diáknak adja ki magát. Nemsokára alkalmas jelöltre akad egy gyorsbüfé tulajdonosának lányában, ezért beáll a büfébe dolgozni. Ám a jómódú apa nem repes az örömtől, hogy egy csóró afrikai legyeskedik a lány körül, és a herceg szülei is gyanút fognak. (Mozi+)

One of the most original comedies of the 80s. It’s a pity that there are moments when it’s devalued by the star power of Eddie Murphy, who unnecessarily dilutes the pace and the taste with his screaming cameo roles. Otherwise, it’s a very good piece of entertainment that fully exploits the core premise “rich dreamer looking for love in a poor environment”. I don’t think I’ve ever envied anyone’s life so much as Murphy’s here, having my sex organ washed in the morning by a sexy topless servant is now in my bucket list. 75%

Coming to America is one of the more accomplished pieces in Eddie Murphy's feature filmography, yet I still haven't found my way to the film even years after its release. Murphy's (and Arsenio Hall's) penchant for latex costumes was still in its infancy in Coming to America, and therefore tolerable (compared to the later Klump films, it's definitely a "treasure") – yet Randy Watson and Reverend Brown could have been left out. Plot-wise, it's a fairly simple tale of independence and defiance of one's roots, which is at times humorous, at times topsy-turvy, but compared to some of Murphy's later films, it doesn't offend. From time to time, though, I'm happy to take a trip to America (and Zamunda) with Akeem and his slightly annoying companion Semmi.

A legendary comedy, full of innocent materialism, great insight, catchphrases and excellent actors. It's just a shame Eddie Murphy didn't stay on top longer. Surprisingly, the ravages of time have not taken too much of a toll on it.
