Never mind the hackneyed storyline: under John Landis's tight direction, he turns in a star performance (and several brilliant cameos) that is disciplined and extremely funny. Murphy plays an African prince who comes to New York officially to sow his wild oats. Privately, he is seeking a bride he can marry for love rather than one chosen by his parents. With his companion (Arsenio Hall, who pushes Murphy all the way in the comedy stakes), he settles in the borough of Queens and takes a job in a hamburger joint. A succession of hilarious satire-barbed adventures ensue, plus the required romantic conclusion. The script is crammed with ripe one-liners , but "Freeze, you diseased rhinoceros pizzle" has to be the most devastating hold-up line of all time. Film buffs will appreciate a brief appearance by Don Ameche as a down-and-out, but this is Murphy's film and he generates warmth enough to convert the most ambivalent viewer. On the DVD: The only--rather pointless--extra on offer is the original theatrical trailer which adds nothing apart from a rapid recap of the story. But the 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen presentation (the picture quality is diamond sharp) and Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack recreate the original authentic cinematic experience. The choreography of 1980s pop diva Paula Abdul in the lavish wedding scenes and Nile Rodgers' pounding musical score are the main beneficiaries. -- Piers Ford Hilarious comedy with Eddie Murphy as an African prince who travels with his loyal, royal companion to the United States to search f or a bride. Review: Good morning my neighbours! - One of the best films of the 80s - no question. Murphy is brilliant as he jumps from character to character with a focus on Prince Akeem who wishes to find his bride to be, rather than one being picked for him. The belly laughs are there as a brilliant cast bring this fantastic comedy together with no just so many meme moments (before there time!) but memorable quotes. A must watch for anyone looking for a trip down memory lane Review: Fabulous 80s film - I loved it when it came out, and still love it now. It has aged really well, and it's most definitely one of my favourite Eddie Murphy films. I like Eddie Murphy although I know he's just playing an obnoxious character he still comes across a bit like that sometimes. Where in this film he plays someone honourable, well educated and sweet. This is fun and just the type of film to watch if you're having a hard time at work or at home. Stick it on the DVD get your legwarmers out buy some popcorn and Pepsi and go for it. You'll feel so much better I promise. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Allison Dean, Arsenio Hall, Barry W.
