Murphy and Hall, just like in the original film, play multiple characters. “Coming 2 America” follows Prince Akeem Joffer of Zamunda (played by Eddie Murphy) and his loyal confidant, Semmi (played by Arsenio Hall), as they travel back to America to find the son Prince Akeem did not know he had. Murphy and Brewer have teamed up once again for “Coming 2 America.” But they were not able to achieve the success they got with their previous venture, as this film is nowhere as good. It was not until 2019 when the biographical comedy “Dolemite Is My Name” was released on Netflix, that Murphy got the attention he deserved with even a Golden Globe nomination for his role in the film. He did not have the same level of success at the turn of the century, as his most iconic role in that era being the voice of Donkey from the “Shrek” films. The film is directed by Craig Brewer who is known for “Dolemite is my Name” (2019), “Footloose” (2011), and “Hustle & Flow” (2005).Įddie Murphy is one of the best comedians to come out of “Saturday Night Live,” and had a stellar career in Hollywood from the 1980s through the late 1990s. “Coming 2 America,” the sequel to Eddie Murphy’s “Coming to America” (1988), was released on Amazon Prime Video on March 5th.
