Pampered African Prince Akeem is a rebel who is against an arranged marriage and heads to Queens, New York to find a new bride. His regal father agrees to allow the prince 40 days to roam the U.S., sending the prince's faithful retainer Semmi along to make sure nothing untoward happens. To avoid fortune hunters, Prince Akeem conceals his true identity and gets a "regular" guy job at a fast-food restaurant.

Coming to America submitted by a2sue on July 31, 2015, 5:14pm "Coming to America" is a fun film! I especially love the part where two characters from the movie "Trading Places" had a cameo.
