old formula fairy tale of someone on the bottom making her way to the top through character, karma and good intentions.
In a departure from his
formula wise - guy character that early»80s audiences were accustomed to, Eddie Murphy stars in this modern romantic
fairy tale as twenty - one year
old Prince Akeem, heir to the rich, fictional, African kingdom of Zamunda.
