Coming 2 America (2021) - Amazon Prime

[peternorth]

Entertaining, but as they say the sequel is never as good as the original. However.....

Love seeing the old team back together. And some cameos including

Spoiler

Morgan Freeman
En Vogue
Salt n Peppa
Former Denver, Atlanta, New Jersey, New York, Houston, Philly center Mutombo

Play on words...
Barber shop calling Prince Akeem Mufasa (with the King being James Earl Jones)
Izzi as opposed to idi amin

I like a woman so black i need a flashlight.

Lots of themes, equality, tradition vs modernity

The classic flip and reflect tactic in cinema, taking the original and flipping the characters and scenes. But simultaneously so many similarities from its predecessor.

Spoiler

The subtle re-quotes "sweat from a baboons balls, "to be loved" song.....very good

As I said earlier, original is always the best. Wished they didnt wait 30 years to do a sequel. But an entertaining movie nonetheless.

Made it 40 mins

Watched half an hour of it and turned it off. Cringe worthy crap with nothing on the original and WTF were they thinking trying to do this again?

The start and end of the movie was great. The middle was not very good at all.

Spot on. Notice the common theme? Same characters. The newbies imho didn’t add much value or laughs.

You may notice the subtle product placement of PUMA apparel

[3rd Grade Maggy]

One of the worst movies i have ever watched.

The original still holds up today but this was pure trash.

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

The reviews overall have been harsh. So looks like it's worth giving a miss.

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

Had been looking forward to this as the original is one of my favourites.

But, it is rotten. An absolute stinker. Up there with the worst sequels ever made.

So disappointed.

 

[TheGhostOfJohnBelushi]

Even expecting it to be bad didn't soften the blow. Just... unfunny.

 

[Chris_6678]

It was nothing on the original.

Why was a sequel even needed?

Its like the sequel to Zoolander which was an hilarious movie but the second was soooooooooooooo not funny and tried to be over the top and faield big time.

 

[Gasometer]

Good grief. This is pathetic

Have you made it to the end

 

[Gasometer]

Have you made it to the end

I paused it and we had 52 minutes left and said this is garbage Mrs Gaso turn it off watching this awful stuff

I saw yesterday that Eddie Murphy has an idea for another sequel, but he won't film it until he's in his 70's. Hopefully he forgets about it by then

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

53% on Rotten Tomatoes proving once and for all that at least half the population are morons.

Just imagine what he will do to Beverley Hills cop 4.

It’s mediocre, but I went in with low expectations.

It’s a fun throwback - treat it as such, and it’s not the worst.
