But even setting aside the whole TWILIGHT ZONE tragedy, Landis in interviews always reminds me of some teachers I had as a kid, and not in a good way.

Nope. And from what I gather, his kid's just like him.

I hope they do a tie in with Louis and Billy Ray from "Trading Places" like they did with Mortimer and Randolph Duke from the original. It seems like a no brainer with Eddie Murphy able to do it easily enough. I always thought they could do a sequel of that film and this would give us a glimpse of how the characters fared.
I could see them running a resort hotel in the Caribbean.

That's what I'm wondering. How are they gonna explain this in the plot? And especially if Leslie Jones is the supposed mother of his kid! Uggh....she's no beauty!

Mixed reviews, mostly negative it seems.

Review: 'Coming 2 America' is a disappointing rehash of Eddie Murphy's 1980s comedy classic
