Coming 2 America: Eddie Murphy reassembles team Zamunda for this sequel on Amazon Prime Video

They're back! Jay and Sean discuss the sequel 33 years in the making, Coming 2 America. Prince Akeem (Eddie Murphy) is back and so are all of his Zamundan friends.
The African monarch Akeem learns he has a long-lost son in the United States and must return to America to meet this unexpected heir and build a relationship with his son.
Director: Craig Brewer
Stars: Eddie Murphy, Arsenio Hall, Shari Headley, Tracy Morgan, Kiki Layne, Leslie Jones, Wesley Snipes, Jermaine Fowler, James Earl Jones, Teyana Taylor, Paul Bates, Nomzamo Mbatha, Louie Anderson, Morgan Freeman, Rotimi, Bella Murphy, Trevor Noah, Colin Jost, Akiley Love, Rick Ross
with En Vogue, Salt N Pepa, Gladys Knight, John Legend
King Jaffe Joffer (James Earl Jones) is getting older, and as he prepares his son Akeem to take his place, he reveals that he has tracked down Akeem’s bastard American son, a son Akeem didn’t know he had, a little souvenir from that trip to Queens more than thirty years ago. Akeem and Lisa (Shari Headley) have three daughters, but women can’t inherit the throne in Zamunda. Fearing instability upon his passing, particularly from General Izzi (Wesley Snipes), King Joffer urges Akeem to go to America and bring home his first-born male heir in order to keep their kingdom peaceful.
As you can imagine, learning that you’re a prince is a bit of surprise, and it’s a bit of a culture shock when Lavelle (Jermaine Fowler) does indeed return to the palace with the dad he never knew, with Mom Mary (Leslie Jones) and Uncle Reem (Tracy Morgan) in tow to add a little…flavour to the royal proceedings. Akeem has selected a bride for his son, the alluring and diplomatically wise choice, Bopoto, daughter of General Izzi. But it is the palace groomer Mirembe (Nomzamo Mbatha) who catches Lavelle’s eye. As every man becomes his father, Akeem finds himself in the position of forbidding Lavelle’s love match and enforcing the political one. Akeem was supposed to be different when he was king but it looks like he’ll follow in his father’s footsteps, for better of worse.
This movie isn’t a remake but it’s awfully close, following the events of the first film like they’re identical twins, even repeating a lot of the same jokes. Murphy reassembles the entire team and there’s no denying this sequel is an extreme act of fan service and that Eddie Murphy himself is having a grand old time reliving his youth and revisiting a pivotal time in his life and career. The result is surprisingly watchable. Is it great? No. But it’s fun and familiar improving on the first, delivering a more modern and more quickly paced comedy. Murphy and director Craig Brewer work well together, but since both are mega fans of the first film, they’re content to coast on its fumes. Ultimately Coming 2 America is 110 minutes devoted to remembering how great Coming To America was. It’s a cast reunion with some great costumes and some fun cameos. It’s a celebration 33 years in the making and if you were a fan of the first, you’re walking away happy.
Madge Sinclair (Queen Joffer) passed away of cancer in 1995
Eddie Murphy's daughter Bella Murphy plays Akeem's middle daughter Omma.
James Earl Jones, who plays King Jaffe Jaffer, is the voice of CNN, providing the voiceover for the network, "This is CNN." Fittingly, before the first news broadcast of the ZNN he recorded the voiceover for the announcement "This is ZNN."
General Izzi had previously appeared in Coming to America with the rank of colonel, played by Calvin Lockhart. Wesley Snipes' character in this movie is the son of the original.
Colin Jost's character is a relative of the Duke Brothers, who were the antagonists in Trading Places, and also the homeless duo that Prince Akeem gave money to in the first film
