Still holds up as such a classic, feel good comedy. Murphy plays the fish-out-of-water story earnestly, rather than the typical, oblivious goofball. It's probably Eddie Murphy's best movie.

HUGE laughs in the 80s comedy classic. THIS is top-tier Murphy and timeless

Coming to America is like a McDonald's burger - you know it's not gourmet, but you still can't help but love it and want more.

As the wanderlust-stricken heir to a wealthy African nation, Eddie Murphy reaches the top of the mountain in this one. Featuring a perfect blend of the budding comedian's trademark sharp-edged humor and his creeping desire to play more serious roles, it's among the rare breed of films to actually succeed unequivocally in two distinct genres. It's also the first time Murphy has taken on multiple characters in the same film, and remains his freshest performance(s) under such heavy makeup.

Arsenio Hall and James Earl Jones helm a lights-out supporting cast, while John Landis's direction maintains a quick tempo and clear bearing. It's one of those movies that's astoundingly easy to step into midway, making it a great candidate for syndication, and is rarely so bogged down in drama that it lasts even five minutes without a good belly laugh. Sweet, hilarious and timeless, I'm constantly finding new ways to enjoy it.

Might be my favorite of all Eddie Murphy's movies. Great lines, great idea, "Soul Glo", McDowells, the guys in the barbershop, just great execution altogether. I'm chuckling just thinking about the scenes again.

Haha yeah, the German title is indeed better.
But as said before, still a very funny movie. Holds up well and Eddie Murphy is just a hoot as always!
