When we last discussed the film “Coming 2 America”, it was almost Christmas time and I guess one could say that the First Trailer was like a video present to all of those who were looking forward to some visuals from said film If you didn’t see our trailer post just click HERE to complete the mission. Now it’s time to review the second trailer for this Amazon Prime Video original. To keep it interesting, I’ve placed the plot, the cast and some promotional posters down below. Enjoy.
The Premise: Set after the events of the first film, former Prince Akeem Joffer is set to become King of Zamunda when he discovers he has a son he never knew about in America – a street savvy Queens native named Lavelle.

Piercing Ken Thoughts: : In the first trailer narrative I pointed out that while I enjoyed the trailer and now this one as well, I will not be able to see the film since I am not an Amazon Prime member. At the moment I don’t see that changing since I am carrying a few other streaming subscriptions and a hefty regular cable bill. Maybe I should get a roommate who uses Prime so I can add that to my Roku ? This does look funny and as I close this up I wonder what you readers think about it. Chime in down below in the comments section and I will see you next time. I will be back to this topic for the films premiere date of March 5th, see you then.
