This is one of those films that you just can't go wrong watching. I must have seen it 20 times or more now and I still laugh every time. The plot line concerns Eddie Murphys principle character (he plays 3 other key roles) Prince Akeem of the fictional African Kingdom Zamunda, leaving his opulent lifestyle to find a bride who loves him for who he is and not for his riches.
But that's irrelevant really, as its just a fantastic showcase for the comedy acting talents of Murphy and his sidekick, Arsenio Hall, who wisecrack their way through 8 combined roles in the funniest film outside of the Monthy Python collection.
The barbers shop scenes are the stuff of comedy legend and this is something that never fails to bring a smile to my face.
Don't just watch this film - BUY IT!!! Laughs are guaranteed.
