It's wack bruh, if Eddie wasn't attached you'd think differently. Eddie has folks apprehensive to give a real critique. The costumes were dope, especially Eddie's robe and that he's feeding others that's it.

Don't see why that would be the case. Eddie has many, many, MANY terrible movies. :lol: People ain't been scared to call it out in the past.

I had no high expectations for this. There was no way it could compare to the original. But for what it was, it was decent.

I'm only 15 minutes in and this is bouncing from funny to cringe one joke to the next.
There had to be at least 14,000,605 ways to get them back to America without this plot.

I'd say C+, it wasn't terrible. I watched it with the intention knowing it wouldn't be anywhere near as good as the 1st one. The cameos were cool & I like that it focused on black love without really any hint of cacs or lgbtq agenda.
No argument here. The barber shop scenes and sexual chocolate was funny af though.

It would have been a B+ without Leslie. She is truly cringe worthy

Got the kids in bed and poured up some pappy/had a few edibles with the wife expecting some Tyler Perry shit based on the reviews on here. :smh: :lol:

Shit is not the Godfather but neither was the original. Only cac in the film was Louis Anderson and he was in the original. Some of you motherfuckers are just haters man. It is ok for some shit not to be Kafkaesque. :lol: I damn near didn't watch the shit based on the reviews on here...:smh::lol:

Motherfuckers on here had me thinking this shit was going to be awful to the point I had to get drunk have a few edibles with the wife beforehand. :lol: Cameos and focus on Black people with no cacs was enough for me to give it a favorable rating for what it is. Had this been some hood shit with Luenell and Michael Blackson motherfuckers would be calling this a classic...

Man this shit was garbage. Eddie is my guy, but this was by far his worst movie. Terrible script, the acting was before average. Snipes was good though. Some of the African "jokes", didn't work at all. Glad this shit was free on prime.

No offense but I’m not sure how much we can value your opinion?

You said that you were drinking and had edibles before the movie. With those in your system I betcha to you this shit would look like JAWS!

Yep you could have easily just been like well we got married here. Since you are missing home I figured we would renew your vows in America or you could have had lisa feed up with palace life and Akeem considering renouncing the throne and sacrificing for her happiness or some shit like that.

Black is beautiful. Those who expected it to be as good as the first was asking too much. I liked it. Was not super funny, but it was cool. B-
I don't think people thought it could be at the first level but it wasn't even watchable. I had to force myself into watching the last 30 minutes.

Nah it definitely wasn’t Master P level and wasn’t a horrible movie. But I’ll tell you what my problem with the movie was.

I wasn’t expecting Coming to America 1 level of greatness, I wasn’t even expecting a great movie. I actually wasn’t expecting anything because I purposefully didn’t watch the long trailer. But I did hear what the story was gonna be.

First, I didn’t like Leslie’s character. She was basically her being her and as always it’s too much.

I didn’t like the son, he came off as corny and trying too hard and also just predictable.

Tracy was predictable and just him being him, that’s great if you find him funny. But he was just extra too.

Honestly they just came off as boring and bland stereotypes and that made it cringeworthy.

I’m not a movie critic and don’t wanna be one, I just want to watch a movie and enjoy it. But when a couple of the main characters make you upset or cringe every time they’re on the screen, it makes the experience bad.

Just my two cents...

Not a bad or horrible movie, it’s just the characters that ruined it for me.

These Asians are acting funny since this movie is coming out. I wrote about them indirectly involved in propaganda films targeting us as a precursor to the release of their bio weapons such as Soul Man, Philadelphia, and their junk lawsuits. I wrote about how the casting in Philadelphia the movie was highly suspect and designed to look as if a white comedian was going to be in it.

These countries are heavily populated, overfished, and maybe looking at getting rid us to expand based on their delusional belief of us being inferior. Anytime you see these Asians or Indians attacking us we need to take that seriously because these Third World overpopulated countries are desperate. They have very little contact with other racial groups.

It had its moments and had potential, but the storyline was off. Like they tried to merge two different storylines or scripts into one. Too many cameos that were distracting. I’ve never found Leslie or Tracy Morgan to be funny. The son was miscast.

Great costume design, though, but some parts felt like Empire. That new princess the son married was sweet and beautiful and they could have built a much better story off that relationship alone.

No one has mentioned the funniest scene - when Omar starts singing the Prince song “Get Off”.
