Movie Review: 'Coming 2 America' an OK sequel to a comedy classic “Coming 2 America” is a fairly entertaining sequel to the 1988 comedy classic,“Coming to America.” When it's working, the film is funny and sweet, but it lacks consistency and focus. At times, the situations feel forced and played out. While the original certainly was not a perfect movie, there are several inspired and iconic scenes and quotes that are still part of pop culture today. “Coming 2 America” lacks those moments but has a decent amount of scenes that get the laughs. While Eddie Murphy is the star, his performance is a bit understated and gets lost in the shuffle at times. To me, the supporting players are this film's strength, as well as a few well-done musical numbers.
