Coming 2 America Streaming Feature Film Minireview

Coming 2 America on Amazon Prime and it is free for all Prime Video subscribers. While not as good as the original, it still definitely plays better on streaming and it is so sweet to see Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall together again. There are lots of cameos from comedians from the original and SNL like Colin Jost, Tracy Morgan, Leslie Jones and many others. Wesley Snipes brings a lot of charisma to the film and I am glad to see him with Murphy in another film. Jermain Fowler has a likable quality to him that makes him appear like he could be Akeem's son. There are some nice surprises too. Overall, I found Coming 2 America to be sentimental and that felt good in my heart. Give it a chance. Coming 2 America is streaming on Amazon Prime Now.
