Coming to America is one of Eddie Murphy s most popular films, so the sequel was a highly anticipated affair. Now that the movie is here, it s largely been seen as just fine. The movie is getting lukewarm reviews at best, and critical reception on Rotten Tomatoes is barely over 50%. Clearly not everybody loves the film, there are potentially valid reasons for these criticisms. Director Craig Brewer will likely take the negative responses in stride, but there s one criticism that he does take issue with even though he fully expected to hear it: the fact that the movie is not rated-R.
