I would LOVE TO SEE THIS come back and be done again 2018. Its a REAL STRUGGLE to find good comedy. I mean REALL Struggle I'm combing through movies 2010-2018 and we MIGHT get 3 or 4 good comedies a year. WE NEED COMEDY, Tasteful , Purposeful and REALLY ACTUALLLY FUNNY. We get hundreds of movies done over and over and over that we really DONT want to see the movie industry just DOES THEM OVER again , like 1000 versions of SAW, probably over 1milllion different variations of JAWS movies, or Sharknado some real corny stuff. But this WE NEED THIS FOR THE BLACK PLAYLIST. We have limited film exposure compared to 1000s of hogwash murder, demon possession and serial killling movies. This was FUN, Exiciting, COLORFUL, CULTURAL, Ethnic, had positives, had stereotypes that weren't tooo offensive but covered them in a way that we can say OK. I would love to see this done again and up to date and be right up there with movies like Concussion, Django Unchained, Free State of Jones, Black Panter, Idlewild, and other GREAT FEW GREAT black themed movies we rarely get to see enough of.

I love this movie. I think it is definitely one of Eddie Murphy's best films. Eddie Murphy plays Akeem who is the Prince of Zamunda. Him and his friend Semmi travel to USA to look for a queen. The area they travel to is a run down part of Queens. They both start working at McDowells which is a rip off restaurant of McDonald's. There Akeem meets Lisa McDowell who is sweet, caring and smart. What I love about this film is the humor and the characters such as King Jaffe and Mr McDowell. Also the funny concepts such as Soul Glo and of course McDowell's make the film memorable. I think the setting of Queens fit the movie perfect, I don't think if it was set in Los Angeles it would of had the same appeal. So i gave it 10/10 because no matter how many times in watch it I always find it hilarious. If you're looking for a good laugh then I recommended watching this film!

Even though I'm not a big big fan of Eddie Murphy, I think this one he did, was actually pretty good. Now what put me off with this movie was the fact, at the beginning, breasts were shown even when they were needed to. I know I'm a woman and proud to have breasts, however, I just wouldn't consider showing them off in PG. I just think it's rather pointless since its not all to do with porn! That's why it lost 2 stars from me.Anyways I really liked the way the story went. It's different and looks refreshing, I mean like c'mon this was 1980's and it's now 2016, to me it just looks like a fresh new movie! It's one of the movies that makes me felt that way for no absolute reason!Shari Headley was such an amazing actress. I really liked her beautiful pink dress in the end. I reckon, it does really make you feel like a princess when wearing it, it is so long! Seriously, it is stunning on her, I'm jealous!It's a good movie with a few laughs and I think it's fair that I give this a 8/10 rating....

Eddie Murphy stars as the Prince of Zamunda. Prince Hakeem is very wealthy. He refuses to marry the bride that his father chose for him, so he decides to go to Queens, New York and find his queen. He arrives in Queens with his best friend/servant and seeks a queen. They try to blend in, so no one knows that he is royalty. He works to act just like the other people in New York and even gets a job at a fast food restaurant. The movie is hilarious all the way through and romantic at the same time.It is interesting to watch Prince Hakeem search for his queen and deal with environments that he is not used to. The prince has to leave his life of luxury behind and learn how to live like people with normal lives. Eddie Murphy does a great job in the film and is sure to cause the audience to laugh.
