Coming To America 2 (Review and Video)
Category: Entertainment News
In Coming to America 2, Eddie Murphy now the king of Zamunda where he has a beautiful family but with only female children, as the custom requires, a male must be the heir to the throne, Eddie Murphy travels all the way back to America to look for the son he had while on escapades at Queens.
The travel was prompted by a decision on the 30th anniversary of his wedding with Lisa McDowell. He was summoned before his dying father, King Jaffe Joffer. Jaffe and his shaman Baba reveal to Akeem that he has sired a son during his first visit in Queens, New York after Semmi had enticed two women into spending the night with them while Akeem was still searching for his future queen (in Coming to America 1). One of them drugged Akeem, resulting in a tryst he did not remember; and since Zamundian tradition demands that only a male successor can inherit the throne, and Lisa has borne only daughters, Akeem is forced to travel back to Queens to retrieve his son or else face a violent takeover by Zamunda's militaristic neighbor nation Nextdoria, whose dictator, General Izzi(Wesley Snipe), has repeatedly tried to push Akeem into marrying his eldest daughter Meeka.
After the burial of King Jaffe and Akeem(Eddie Murphy)'s ascension as king, he and Semmi travels to Queens to meet his illegitimate son, Lavelle Junson, who at the time was struggling to get a job. After an awkward reunion with his mother Mary, Akeem takes them both and Lavelle's uncle Reem back to Zamunda, much to his family's displeasure.
When General Izzi(Wesley Snipe) learns of this, he drops by to introduce his daughter Bopoto to Lavelle as a last shot at laying claim to the throne of Zamunda, but in order to qualify as a royal prince, Lavelle firstly has to pass a series of traditional - and hazardous - tests. Lavelle is at first highly reluctant to place himself in danger, but then bonds with Mirembe, a royal groomer, who tells him of Akeem's quest to find his queen and encourages him to follow his own path. Lavelle gradually develops an understanding with Akeem's family, and using his wits and some forced courage, he passes and is made Prince of Zamunda.
