We all know that Eddie Murphy was the golden child of 80's comedy movies. Ok, bad pun, but that was also a bad movie. In stark contrast to the occasional stinker he delivered, Eddie would deliver us comic gold like today's feature from 1988. Teamed with Arsenio Hall and playing a variety of characters, Eddie delivered big time with this tale of "Coming to America"...
