Coming to America casts comedian Eddie Murphy as pampered African prince Akeem, who rebels against an arranged marriage and heads to America to find a new bride.

i think this is the best movie starring eddie murphy. some might say it's beverley hills cop, some may say it's 48 hours. im sticking with coming to america. so many classic scenes and when you throw arsenio hall in the mix - it's a party. just let your soul glow!
