Review: Coming 2 America
Rating
Chris Sully
★★★★★ 4/5
Chris: “Like visiting old friends you hadn’t seen in a while and seeing what they’ve been up to. Still sharing the same inside jokes that you had with them 30+ years ago. They’re still funny, tho they’ve definitely aged and slowed down a bit. Definitely will be visiting again soon!“

Matt: “The sequel to Coming to America is Coming 2 America, and the phonetic duplicate of its predecessor is no accident. This is a love letter to the original in every way, repeating the same jokes and plot points with little effort to stand apart.
Though I had genuine laughs, much of the entertainment value from this film was fueled by nostalgia. You can tell everyone was having fun filming this, but it felt like an SNL tribute to the 1988 film, complete with several musical acts.
The highlights were Wesley Snipes as General Izzi and the elaborate, gorgeous costume design. For this alone, it’s worth a viewing, but only once.”

If you need those Coming to America laughs, the classic original never disappoints.

Alien invasions, an army of predator killers, and the xenomorph crossover continued. The Sully Brothers pitch their own original Predator pitches.

Donner left so many quality films behind, films that I have watched dozens of times and will watch dozens more. When I want action, a fright, or a laugh, Donner’s got my back.
