Coming to America 1988
Royalty has never been this far from home.
An extremely pampered African prince travels to Queens, New York and goes undercover to find a wife that he can respect for her intelligence and strong will.
A pampered African prince is ready for the throne, but he wants a partner who can match his wit and independence. Trading his palace for a modest life in Queens, he sets out to find a bride who speaks her own mind. Eddie Murphy leads this bold, big-hearted comedy about love, ambition, and what really makes someone worthy.
