      Did we need a sequel to one of Eddie Murphy’s best movies of all time, No! Did it lean too much on the nostalgia of the original, Yes! Could you see where this film was going from the trailers alone, Yes! And to that point did you figure out when the son was conceived from the trailers, Yes! Are the Barbar Shop crew still alive, Yes? But it was such a sweet film that I can excuse it’s faults. This was a sequel about the next generation.

      Everyone from the original came back expect for Eric La Salle’s Darryl (they missed an opportunity to give him a shout out in the ex’s scene) and Madge Sinclair’s Queen Aoleon who passed away in real life but, who’s presence was still very much felt.

      I laughed here and there (especially when we went back to the well with the jokes); there was no way this movie would work without them. My biggest laugh out loud moment was towards the end with the two surprise character cameos (I didn’t see coming)...

      I did enjoy all the different cameos from various celebrities...was it necessary, No! But, again it was fine.

      I’ve always paired Trading Places with Coming to America as a spirited spin-off...this sequel just added to the sentiment too.
