I just rewatched Coming To America thirty-three years after it first came out. I rewatched it to set up the mood for the sequel that just came out so many years later and that I will watch tomorrow. The first one is still funny, maybe not as funny as the first time I watched it but still good enough to entertain me. Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall both play four different characters and credits to the makeup artists that did a good job changing their looks completely. The movie got nominated at the Oscars for Best Costume Design and Best Make up. Maybe not really Oscar material but they did a good job altogether. The story is enjoyable to watch, maybe a bit simple but then again it's a simple movie. After so many years there are still scenes that were fresh in my mind so I guess it had some impact since the first time I watched it. Up to the sequel now, which I heard wasn't as good.
