Thirty-three years after the beloved original, Coming 2 America reunites audiences with King Akeem and his loyal aide Semmi in this long-awaited sequel. Directed by Craig Brewer, the comedy follows Akeem as he discovers he has a long-lost son in Queens, prompting a return to America to introduce the street-smart Lavelle to royal life in Zamunda. Packed with callbacks to the 1988 classic, the film blends nostalgia with fresh humor, featuring a star-studded cast including Leslie Jones, Tracy Morgan, and returning favorites like James Earl Jones and Shari Headley.
While the sequel leans heavily on fan service, its vibrant costumes, lively performances, and celebratory Afrocentric themes make it a joyful watch. Though not as groundbreaking as the original, Coming 2 America delivers warm-hearted laughs and a reunion worth the wait for fans of the franchise. Perfect for those seeking lighthearted fun with a royal twist.
