highly recommended

Half of the characters in this 1988 John Landis potboiler seem to be played either by Eddie Murphy or costar Arsenio Hall, swaddled in elaborate Rick Baker makeup appliances that render them unrecognizable but also weirdly immobile. As a pampered African prince who journeys incognito to Queens, New York, to find a bride who will love him just for himself, Murphy manages to look smug and naive at the same time. There are enjoyable sequences of Murphy's Prince Akeem applying his lordly manner to his new job in a fast-food emporium, and falling for the boss's spirited daughter (Shari Headley), who teaches him how to party down, American style. But the fish-out-water premise is never fully exploited. Star spotters will have a field day locating Cuba Gooding Jr., Donna Summer, Louie Anderson, Vondie Curtis Hall, E.R.'s Eriq La Salle, and Samuel L. Jackson in their minuscule supporting roles. --David Chute

Murphy's Best, Never to be outdone!

This 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!!!

OH EDDIE, WHY CAN'T YOU BRING THIS KIND OF FUNNY ANYMORE?!!!

Way ahead of its time in story! The acting phenomonal and the cast.... priceless! What more do you need? Eddie Murphy hasn't had anything close to being this funny since Boomerang. The Donkey character in Shrek gives a small glimpse of his comic genius but he made himself into this kids movie dude and closed the door on himself as one of the most sought after comics in Hollywood. John Landis outdoes himself here as I loved this one even more than his classic Blues Brothers movie! The sets are breathtaking and John Amos is hilarious as the Pops to win over. Arsenio has never been better since and that's a real shame. A true Classic!! A+++!!!

Great Movie

Good transfer, good sound, good picture. For a 20 year old movie, it looks very good on Blu-ray.

I watched, I rubbed, I watched again. I am a changed man.

My priest once gave a sermon that changed my life. After that sermon I rented this movie. Coming to America. We have all made journeys in life, but none as complex and dangerous as Eddie Murphy made one day in the late 20th century.

The director must have been a son of an immigrant as he distinctively captured the dream of every man, woman, and child who has climbed the statue of liberty. Reach the top. Climb with every ounce of strength you have remaining. Two more steps! One more! Now, open the door in front of you! You are now inside the Statue of Liberty's face!

I will live every day as if I were inside the Statue of Liberty's face. Thank you Mr. Murphy. I am finally free.
