They don't make them like this anymore. Coming to America is easily one of the funniest movies to have been released in the 80's, at a time when Eddie Murphy was on top of his game.
This is the very first movie in which Eddie Murphy tackles several roles at once, and his nuanced performances of each character is nothing less than perfect. Consider that 22 years have passed, and people are still quoting Randy Jackson of Sexual Chocolate, Clarence the barber, and Saul. What is that, velvet?
The film has an amazing cast of actors that play their parts effortlessly, from John Amos as the no-nonsense owner of McDowell's, to Eriq La Salle as the arrogant prince of Soul-Glo. Arsenio's chemistry with Eddie is terrific, and being the real-life son of a Baptist minister made for a pitch-perfect performance as Reverend Brown.
This is a classic 80's comedy that has stood the test of time, and is one of the roles that helped definite Eddie Murphy's career.
