“Coming 2 America” (** out of four) was a misfired sequel to the 1988 comedy classic about the African monarch Akeem (Eddie Murphy) who learns he has a long-lost son (Jermaine Fowler) in the United States and must journey back with his friend Semmi (Arsenio Hall) to build a relationship with him so he can one day take over the royal kingdom of Zamunda. Amusing at first and heartwarming to see all of the original cast members (Shari Headley, John Amos, James Earl Jones, etc.) reunited but soon goes downhill alarmingly and runs out of energy and laughs and never fully recovers. Murphy is more of a bystander for most of the story and much of the original players are wasted; Wesley Snipes fares best as a rival general.
