Customer Reviews
Still great after all of these years.Review by Patrick Bergeron, 2010-07-03
Having grown up watching a "recorded off of HBO on a home vcr" version of this movie over and over again I was excited to see it made available on Blu-Ray.
This movie took place back when Eddie Murphy was more than a donkey in a Dreamworks series.. He was edgy and pushed the comic envelope. Arsenio Hall was amazing in this.
GREAT MOVIE . . . TERRIBLE BLU RAY
Review by J. Webber, 2010-04-29
ATTN: THE POOR RATING HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE MOVIE ITSELF. The transfer is HORRIBLE. Really, it's like watching the DVD on a regular projection TV. I own the DVD and can definitively say that there is NO difference between the Blu ray and DVD. That's just terrible and I wish I hadn't spent my money on this release.
Will You Just Taste the Soup?
Review by Compay, 2010-03-29
They don't make them like this anymore. Coming to America is easily one of the funniest movies to have been released in the 80's, at a time when Eddie Murphy was on top of his game.
This is the very first movie in which Eddie Murphy tackles several roles at once, and his nuanced performances of each character is nothing less than perfect. Consider that 22 years have passed, and people are still quoting Randy Jackson of Sexual Chocolate, Clarence the barber, and Saul. What is that, velvet?
The film has an amazing cast of actors that play their parts effortlessly, from John Amos as the no-nonsense owner of McDowell's, to Eriq La Salle as the arrogant prince of Soul-Glo. Arsenio's chemistry with Eddie is terrific, and being the real-life son of a Baptist minister made for a pitch-perfect performance as Reverend Brown.
This is a classic 80's comedy that has stood the test of time, and is one of the roles that helped definite Eddie Murphy's career.

This is a Eddie Murphy classic, loads of memorable laughs. Some scenes, you memorize and look forward to seeing. My personal fav scene is the has been singer/actor & his band "sexy chocolate"watch for it.LOL
Great Product for the money
Review by mg, 2010-01-07
One for the library is "Coming to America" Which is one movie I've watched several times and get a kick each time I watch it. Blu-ray format gives that extra kick with beautiful color and sound. The movie in blu-ray is worth every penney.
