We’ve discussed the “Coming 2 America” film already here on the website when we shared the pair of trailers to spark your interest. If you missed them just click HERE for Trailer 1 and HERE for Trailer 2. The film looks really funny but you’ll need to be a subscriber to the Amazon Prime service to enjoy them as the sequel to the blockbuster “Coming To America” will only be streaming here. Let’s examine the Official Poster and review the premise and casting.

The Premise: Set after the events of the first film, former Prince Akeem Joffer is set to become King of Zamunda when he discovers he has a son he never knew about in America – a street savvy Queens native named Lavelle. Honoring his royal father’s dying wish to groom this son as the crown prince, Akeem and Semmi set off to America once again. (c/o Paramount Pictures)

Piercing Ken Thoughts: Since I am not a subscriber, I will not be seeing this film and only hope that it somehow makes the rounds to some of the other services. I think something like that needs to be done so the audience can enjoy this as a larger group. I have Netflix and Disney+ and HBO Max and just cannot add another service to my monthly credit card bill. What do you readers think about this one? Will you be watching it if you are a subscriber? Chime in down below in the comments section. See you next time.
