Had always seen it in parts with people. I'd walk in late or whatever, until now.

10/10

I hadn't seen the Africa bit at th beginning.

The shout out to Richard Pryor (bums on the street) was cute too:D

Shot out to Richard Pryor? WTF? That was a shot out to Eddie's earlier movie with Randolph and Mortimer in Trading Places.

That movie is a classic IMHO.

And you've gotta love the scene where Dr. Benton's parents and grandmother are sitting on the couch and Cleo tells them to come up to celebrate the engagement... and they leave the soul glow on the couch! :D

BTW, if you like Coming to America, check out Harlem Nights. It has Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor, Red Foxx, and Arsenio Hall in it. Absolutely HILARIOUS! :D

Best scene in the whole movie:

great movie, the barber shop scene still cracks me up

"his momma named him Cashus, I'ma call him Cashus!" It's even funnier because Eddie is doing half the characters.

We must return to Zamunda, at once! :D

BTW, I just watched it last night. I always enjoy it, even though I've seen it eleventy billion times.
