Coming 2 America Movie Review
I'm a long-time fan of Eddie Murphy, that's the kind of comedian who can make a failed film without fail alone. "Coming 2 America" succeeds in at least one department: it makes you realize how good he was and how good he could be in his latest "and better" Dolemite ". Now, to express my feelings about "Coming 2 America" I will put Dewey by the name "Malcolm in the Middle": "I expect nothing but disappointment". In fact, that quote should be a stock response to all of these troubling ways of restarting, regenerating and sequencing or sequencing sprayed throughout Hollywood’s creation as a particular virus in our daily lives.
It is not a bad film but a project driven by endless nostalgia that is always full of real shadow whose expectations are countless. Some are as beautiful as the cameos of the three young men and some are as funny as the promised bride who was still barking and jumping on one foot after thirty years; but unfortunately, the film cannot survive to the same level of entertainment and the material is not real enough to be addressed in ten years. Clothes and set-designs were created visually but the same can be said about "Cats".
What is this story about? Prince Akeem, now King of Zamunda, has three daughters, he is pressured by General Izzi, the cruel ruler of the neighboring Neexdoria country (got a joke?) To marry his daughter Princess Meeka (KiKi Layne) and his son and thus guarantee him access. on the throne because Zamunda cannot be ruled by queens. At that precise time, anyone can guess the obvious path that the plot will take. The problem is not that the film takes a long line in Queens to reach an obvious solution: changing the law, but that the solution all depends on Akeem’s good will. Certainly a prince who challenged his father who rejected tradition would not change the law. Well, if he did, there would be no story and maybe the original film doesn't need a sequel to start.
In response, Murphy throws in the text a few complaints about Princes who often change when they become kings but that feature left me with an uncomfortable thought: at the end of the first "Coming to America", Akeem deleted it again if it were not so. t if Lisa had a recent idea or her father Jaffe Joffer changed the law, he would not marry the girl of his dreams. Now, why not do the same to allow her talented daughter to fulfill her dream? I began to view Akeem as a hypocrite and to blame for his actions. And when she was replaced by Lisa (Shari Headley) and everyone had to be "about time!", I said "would that conversation not have happened before and saved the whole problem?".
But I read a lot. You can see that there is a reason why this problem exists: the same is true of the ‘forced marriage’, an unjust law that should be repealed. That's the point. And so it is with the foretold end that Meeka will become queen. If you don't get that right away, you missed a lot of movies by 2010 (not that you missed a lot). My suspicions raised over the karate-fighting series with Akeem practicing with his daughters, it was as if Eddie Murphy had just discovered something called "girl power" about ten years later, making it an annual film in its attempt to connect with modern fashion. streams of inspiration. The problem is that his daughters are not given much screen time anyway so the script asks us to focus on them while giving the whole story to the illegitimate son: Lavelle played by Jermaine Fowler.
Lavelle is nicknamed b (the name of the most memorable running film), an unwanted aftermath of a drunken nightmare with one prominent lady they met at a nightclub. That’s the best that can come from a flashback sequence that offers a few clips that remind us of how good the original really was. Akeem has no problem finding Lavelle, he is a lovable savage and eagerly accepts the opportunity to be a prince, as well as his mother played by Leslie Jones. So what we found is a formula contrary to the original where you would not know for sure whether Africa was respected or ridiculed, Zamunda was supposed to be a joke expressing American prominence but Murphy handled the news sequentially while delivering. the worst caricatures about the continent.
That African myth is a source of one-dimensional comedy that is very different from the whole essence of inequality. Even Lavelle's love affair with Mirembe (Nonzamo Mbatha) should fall into place. If the film had brought its share of humor, that would have made it more enjoyable. It started well but went down after the death of Jaffe (James Earl Jones). Arsenio Hall used a bit like Semi, Tony Amos added some power to Akeem’s place remembering his progressive mother, and we have “decorative” hints to decorate half-baked jokes and lots of music cameos I heard I wanted to watch on MTV. The film got me into such a predicament that when I saw three boys at the barbershop, I thought that they must be reasonably dead. My spirit was like that.
This is not a bad film because it is predictable, the first one was not even the first art, but it did not have that power, that first move they had (Craig Brewer is not John Landis), it was like that. Akeem: he was arrogant and civilized for his own benefit and very focused on the rules and good manners he did not know about his opposition. I said about the original that it was fun in the 80s, in the way the poem stood and exemplified in the 2020s: a period of deprivation where the re-creation of the old represents the new. Like I said, I was expecting nothing but ...
