EDDIE MURPHY DAUGHTER IN COMING 2 AMERICA MOVIE
The film continues with Lavelle Junson getting geared up to be a Zamundan Prince, whilst the neighbouring country to Zamunda, Nextdooria – one of the few funny sentiments of the movie – prepares to wage war Akeem finally unites the two nations by marrying his son to the daughter of Nextdoorian Warlord, General Izzi (Wesley Snipes). Akeem and Semmi quickly set out to locate and retrieve Akeem’s child, Lavelle Junson (Jermaine Fowler). This problem is quickly overcome when Semmi (Arsenio Hall), Akeem’s right-hand man, tells Akeem he has a bastard son in Queen’s a byproduct of the hilarious encounter between Akeem and Mary Junson (Leslie Jones) in the first film. The momentum of the film is that Prince Akeem has no male heir to ascend to the throne when he passes, something required by the Zamundan constitution. Prince Akeem is still married to Lisa Mcdowell (Shari Headley) and now has three daughters, the princesses of Zamunda. Set 33 years later, Coming 2 America features Prince Akeem once again, who is soon to be King of Zamunda due to the old-age of his father King Jaffe (James Earl Jones). It seems almost no thought went into the plot of the movie, which is tantamount to an emaciated mimicry of the first film. It seems as if the project was too concerned with releasing a sequel rather than an actual film. Unfortunately, the sequel offers us nothing in the way of the outstanding, original humour of the first.

The young prince wants to find an attractive, intelligent, free-thinking woman to be his wife, after rejecting the notion of arranged marriage. If you are unaware of the plot of the first film Coming To America (1988), it centres on Prince Akeem (Eddie Murphy) of the fictitious country Zamunda travelling to Queens in order to find himself a princess to be a future queen of Zamunda.
By Joe Souber, First Year, Engineering & MathematicsĬoming 2 America (2021) is an uninspired, unoriginal, and only mildly entertaining sequel to the droll wit that makes the original film a classic of the genre.
