Dog’s Movie House: “Coming 2 America” No Classic, But Sweet In Its Own Right!

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with a look at the long awaited sequel to Eddie Murphy’s long-awaited comedy hit “Coming To America.” It took a whopping thirty-three years for this sequel to finally be released and the obvious question is “is it worth the wait.” The answer is. . .sort of. It’s not the train wreck I feared when I first saw the trailers, but it’s never quite as inspired as the first film. “Coming 2 America” also relies a little too heavily on flashbacks from the earlier film to fully step out of its predecessor’s shadow. It’s got a lot of heart, though, and based on that and some good comic performances I can give “Coming 2 America” a solid recommendation.
