Coming to America (Special Collector's Edition)
Date undefinedThis film is now 20 years old, and every aspect of it is simply iconic. Classic. Memorable. Genius! If you disagree, "What do you know from funny, ya bastard?!" Every line in this movie is a line worthy of repeating, every scene one worthy of re-enacting. Easily one of the top ten comedies of all time, and top 100 films of all time. From Zamunda to McDowell's, you'll feel the greasy goodness of Soul Glo in your hair and delight to the sounds of Jackson Heights' own Mr. Randy Watson with his band, Sexual Chocolate. Get off the damn computer and go watch this great movie already!!!

Date undefinedThis is a hilarious movie by Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall. One gets reminded of the Klump family from the "Nutty Professor" films when Murphy and Hall's numerous performances of different characters are shown. It was a blast to seem them!
James Earl Jones, Madge Sinclair, and John Amos give excellent performances, while Shari Headley sure is beautiful. Cameos are also a plus: Louie Anderson, Samuel L. Jackson, and a couple of fictional characters from "Trading Places".
The middle and end parts are a bit slow at times, but put that aside, and you've got a clever movie. A-

Date undefinedNot all African women are submissive and this film was built on this premise. I have never heard of an African man travelling all the way to America to find a bride, but I have heard stories of African men coming to America to study and then falling in love with non-African women. The storyline is about a prince who does not want to have an arranged marriage with a submissive "African" woman so he travels to America to find an assertive bride. As an African lady, I did not enjoy watching it. It is not a good idea to make a story about a culture that one is not familiar with and present it as the truth about that culture. But as much as I did not like the depiction of African people in this film, I liked the adventures of the main characters in America. This is not a film that I would buy in order to watch countless times because I could not relate to the culture of the "African" characters.
