The African monarch Akeem learns he has a long-lost son in the United States and must return to America to meet this unexpected heir and build a relationship with his son.
The sequel to the 1989 comedy hit sends Prince Akeem (Eddie Murphy) back to New York to find the son he never knew, the legal successor to the Zamunda throne instead of the prince's wise daughter. With Arsenio Hall and Shari Headley returning and Leslie Jones and Tracy Morgan joining the ensemble, this continuation is just as gloriously funny as the original. - Three and a half stars
