Half of the characters in this 1988 John Landis potboiler seem to be played either by Eddie Murphy or costar Arsenio Hall, swaddled in elaborate Rick Baker makeup appliances that render them unrecognizable but also weirdly immobile. As a pampered African prince who journeys incognito to Queens, New York, to find a bride who will love him just for himself, Murphy manages to look smug and naive at the same time. There are enjoyable sequences of Murphy's Prince Akeem applying his lordly manner to his new job in a fast-food emporium, and falling for the boss's spirited daughter (Shari Headley), who teaches him how to party down, American style. But the fish-out-water premise is never fully exploited. Star spotters will have a field day locating Cuba Gooding Jr., Donna Summer, Louie Anderson, Vondie Curtis Hall, E.R.'s Eriq La Salle, and Samuel L. Jackson in their minuscule supporting roles. --David Chute

 Great Product for the money January 7, 2010

One for the library is "Coming to America" Which is one movie I've watched several times and get a kick each time I watch it. Blu-ray format gives that extra kick with beautiful color and sound. The movie in blu-ray is worth every penney.

Arnita D. Brown (USA)
Coming to America with Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall is absolutely favorite comedy of all times. This movie is really hilarious, and has great classic one liners. Even though it is almost outdated its still very hilarious.

The Best Movie Ever From Back in the Day! September 19, 2009
K. Smalls (Decatur GA)
This movie is the best thing from back in the day! I know my co-worker (something like a friend) will enjoy this on his birthday. They did remake this on dvd again, bue i couldn't find it in stores so i bought it on amazon. Eddie Murphy played a good role in this film. Shot-out to Eddie Murphy! This movie was so funny as hell i tell yaa! Thanks Amazon! Keep it up!

The DVD is "HD". It is not formatted for a regular DVD player. Therefore I cannot view it. It appears to be in good condition. I will not make this mistake again!
