Coming 2 America, the sequel to the 1988 cult classic starring Eddie Murphy as Prince Akeem, an affluent monarch of the fictitious African kingdom of Zamunda, packs little more than a present-day batch of progressive platitudes, seasoned with perfunctory attempts to woo audiences with nostalgic odes to the original film.
The biggest fault of Coming 2 America is that it feels as if the idea to make the sequel was first decided upon, and only later was a plot haphazardly stitched together to justify its existence. Lazily regurgitating a slew of scenes and dialogue from the original makes the sequel, released 33 years after the original, strikingly gratuitous.
