Black comedies have lost their comedic sense of worth
9 March 2021
Let's be honest, Coming To America was funny because black comedies back then where all about being stereotypical and making fun of the ghetto for the sole reason of making you laugh, and this had none of that comedy gold. Coming 2 America felt bland and did not have anything overly ridiculous that would make you laugh. Eddie Murphy let white people (aka Netflix) strip the script of anything that would be considered "racist" or "edgy". This movie clearly defines the carefully cautious mindeset the US is trying to become, and for this reason alone this movie lost its comedic value. I only gave it a 7 because I was glad to see so many of the original actors from the first movie, and because I overly enjoyed En Vogue with Salt N Peppa.
