Coming 2 America is available now.
Prime Video
Coming 2 America is finally here, and despite doing that weird thing where you put a literal number inside the title, we’re quite looking forward to it. Coming to America came out in 1988, so it’s been … 33 years since the original comedy hit theaters? It’s a testament to the film’s success and cultural impact that anyone is interested in a sequel. Is it any good? Our reviewer Patrick Holland mostly liked it.
The plot? Prince Akeem (Eddie Murphy) discovers he has a son in the US and must return to New York City, find his child and groom him to become the heir to the throne of Zamunda. Hijinks, we can only assume, will ensue.
Here’s a trailer…
OK, let’s get stuck into the details.
Release date
Coming 2 America hit Prime Video on March 5.
