Amazon Coming 2 America

[Sky Davis]

He was just in the news last year because of his lack of promotion of the live action Lion King

Lol @ chastising a 88 year old man about promo for a remake he leant his voice to

Why John Amos not in this one?

Apparently 2 people who saw the early screening said it was horrible and potentially one of the worst movies they ever seen. There are reports they are reediting the movie.

Critics and public views stated the same thing about the original film when it get released in 1986.

Nobody besides people abroad (especially in the Francophonie) wasn't a fan of Eddie Murphy raceswapping a classic French Harlequin romance novel into a (first of a long series of many) comedic satire about the flaws of black culture as a whole-- notably in this case, mostly about African American society, colourism, anti-African regionalism/racism against other black populations and the fledgling "strong, independant single black woman" crisis in the 1980s, the counterproductivity of black Christianity and Jheri curls rather than arranged marriages in African societies which was the main factor behind why the protagonist married an American woman in spite their both cultural and class differences.

The film became a popular classic homeland but years later, among younger viewers exposed to this idea of a regal African nation and long dipped into Eddie Murphy's comedic range. For a lot of people, 'Coming To America' has basically the same inspiring appeal than the movie 'Black Panther' .

Those stills look a little better. I laughed out loud at eddie learning karate to take on wesley snipes as an african warlord.

Eddie aint with the pc bullshit so i expect it to get some bad reviews just based off that.

I doubt so. It used to be a Netflix film running up on their money. Niggas spent money like Lil Wayne in a video clip.

I have no doubt the barbershop scenes will be funny. It's the rest of the movie I'm worried about
