CAE Review
I saw a great film a few months ago that I considered as possible to write about: 'Coming to America'. I am not a fan of comedies but this one is really hilarious and gripping!
It is a romantic comedy film which was directed by John Landis in 1988. The main character, Akeem Joffer, is the heir to the throne of Zamunda. He is pampered all his life: he cannot even choose a wife as his parents think that they know better who their son can love. After seeing their bride-to-be, he decides to escape from them to America. So, he and his loyal friend, Semmi come to the city of Queens in New York. They start working at a local fast-food restaurant. Akeem meets Lisa and falls in love with her. Semmi is unhappy with such a poor life. That's why he decides to write to Akeem's parents for financial help. They come to the United States and reveal their son's secret to Lisa. The girl refuses to marry Akeem, so he comes back to Zamunda. At the end, Akeem waits dejectedly at the altar his future wife to come. But when he lifts the veil to kiss her, he finds... Lisa! So, after the wedding ceremony, they set off for their honeymoon happily.
I think the secret of this comedy's success is the cast. Besides, Eddie Murphy, who played Akeem, is an up-and-coming actor!
If you want to relax after a hard-working day, 'Coming to America' is the best variant! You will burst into laughter, I am sure.
