Coming 2 America

8 sourcesSynopsis
Prince Akeem Joffer is set to become King of Zamunda when he discovers he has a son he never knew about in America – a street savvy Queens native named Lavelle. Honoring his royal father's dying wish to groom this son as the crown prince, Akeem and Semmi set off to America once again.
Critics consensus
Decades after its predecessor joked about the fine line between love and nausea, Coming 2 America reminds audiences that there's an equally fine line between sequel and retread.
Audience consensus
It isn't totally without laughs, but a lazy reliance on callbacks and a story that rehashes the first film make this sequel a letdown.
