Coming to America
Web exclusive!
Coming to America is arguably Eddie Murphy’s funniest film. The 1988 comedy is the story of Prince Akeem (Murphy), who ditches Africa and the luxuries of royal life to find a potential princess in these United States. His sidekick Semmi (Arsenio Hall) comes along for the fun. Along with their main character roles, Murphy and Hall play a round of characters that launch the film into quoteworthy status.
