Classic, cheesy and a fun story.

The story of Coming to America is great, the main ideas in the film have been repeated lots of times so it's really predictable. There were some funny moments but I think that the film is more about the character Akeem (played by Eddie Murphy) than the comedy aspect of it. I think that the music helped bring the story to life especially the song that accompanies Akeem's father. The cinematography is the average, the screenwriting isn't anything revolutionary but the acting is good. I actually really like this movie and I would recommend it to anyone who has the time to watch it.
