This is on Eddie for it not being very good to great.
Should have let Coogler have a shot at it or bring in another talented black director.
Coming to America works because John Landis was one of the great directors in the 80s and he was in a tough spot so he had to let Eddie cook more.
This needed a fresh director/approach. Not Craig Brewer and Kenya Barris.
Still enjoyable, but for this amount of talent on-screen, it should be better.

I enjoyed watching it cause I love these characters and like what they did with them. But i didn’t find it that funny. Way too reliant on callbacks, including a couple egregious ones in the end.
Comedy sequels are tough cause it turns into a greatest hits album and people want the hits not the new shyt. And I think that mentally held the movie back from going new places. It works thematically especially in context of the first one but it’s just not that funny.
that said I don’t think it’s possible to do a sequel to this that’s going to please everyone. At all. No way to capture lighting in a bottle twice. This is probably the best version of this that could’ve existed.
And maybe it’s just me but the PG13 shyt doesn’t help either.

yeah this does feel like the family version of the first movie. And I get why they’d do that.

Pretty much my thoughts. Nowhere near the OG but still makes an enjoyable experience.

Cool lil movie I laughed at parts. I don’t think it’s garbage or nothing. I agree that they tried relying on call backs too tho. I enjoyed it however. Especially when Wesley was on screen

It was OK. You'd think it'd be better produced with the amount of star-power they have. All of the women look amazing
