How to Watch Coming 2 America Online: Amazon Prime Video Release Date, Cast and Review

Good morning, it's time to watch "Coming 2 America" online, the sequel to the 1988 film "Coming to America," in which Eddie Murphy returns to antics with Prince Akeem of Zamunda, the current king.

In "Coming 2 America," the newly crowned King Akeem and his longtime advisor Semi (Arsenio Hall) are once again on an adventure in Queens, New York. This time, they search for his long-lost son and heir, Lavelle Jungson (Jermaine Fowler), whom Akeem had after an affair with Mary (Leslie Jones).

Reviews of "Coming 2 America" were mixed, with some calling it "funny" and others calling it "underwhelming." Here is a summary of the film critics' comments:

Kristen Baldwin, Entertainment Weekly: "There are plenty of deep-cut callbacks and surprise appearances from the original, and fan-favorite characters get at least one showing.

Sean O'Connell, Cinema Blend: "It's hard to find a film as entertaining as the original 'Coming to America,' and it's twice as hard for a sequel to fill the holes left by its predecessor. Successor director Craig Brewer chose to recycle quite a few of the same jokes as the original, but watered them down by sticking to a PG-13 rating."[27

Shannon Miller of the AV Club: "For a film that ironically has a plot about Akeem's son learning to find his own unique path to greatness, 'Coming 2 America' seems too ready to rely on nostalgia, with endless callbacks and easter eggs. It looks like it."

Frank Scheck, The Hollywood Reporter: "From the lavish palace setting (actually rapper Rick Ross' Georgia mansion) to the gorgeous, eye-popping costumes by Oscar winner Ruth E. Carter ("Black Panther"), the elaborate choreographed dance numbers, there is no shortage of visual delights. However, "Coming 2 America" was more fun to make than to watch, as evidenced by the predictable inclusion of an NG clip in the end credits.
