Coming to America Ratings & Reviews

  • Rowan KrzysiakMarch 7, 2025
    It blows me away that a film so dominated by a young central talent got made in this way. I don't think it would be possible anymore and it does feels like a relic. It lacks the gloss of something modern however I'd say it's better as a result. It loses a bit of steam as it chugs along but remains pretty watchable throughout. Pleasant and not a lot more.
