Coming to America Remains a Classic Comedy 35 Years Later (by StephenWilds)
. Coming to America also had some controversial elements when it comes to racism, depictions of African culture, and how it handles its look at classism, but these conversations mostly take a backseat to the funny and romantic story on display. The other problems were between the star and director, as well as some viewers critiquing the pacing of the movie, but it is rare to hear complaints about the cast.
Eddie Murphy plays Prince Akeem Joffer, our main character and the comedic name plastered all over this production. A lot of the buzz for Coming to America was around the cast, but especially Murphy, and some believe this may be one of – if not his best – films.

Jones doesn’t need an introduction per se, but I think his role as Darth Vader makes some forget how charming and funny this actor can be. The episode of Big Bang Theory where he plays himself and hangs out with Sheldon is hilarious.
Shari Headley plays Lisa McDowell, Akeem’s new love interest. This was Headley’s breakout role and one she executed almost perfectly, as this character goes through a range of emotions throughout the story and her expressions are on point. The few moments that she gets to be playful and warm come across as genuinely heartfelt and it feels that these two truly will work out together.plays Cleo McDowell, Lisa’s father and the owner of a restaurant that we shouldn’t confuse with McDonald’s.
