“A disarmingly sweet fish-out-of-water comedy.”—The Onion A.V. Club
Eddie Murphy gives a charming performance as a pampered African prince in this sweet romantic comedy. Leery of the bride selected for him by his parents, Prince Akeem (Murphy) leaves Africa for Queens, New York in search of a truer love. Accompanied by his skeptical royal aide Semmi (Arsenio Hall), the answer to Akeem’s prayers might be a comely worker in a fast food restaurant (Shari Headley). Directed by John Landis (Trading Places).
