Coming in America

About This Movie

So, 'Coming in America' is this low-budget sex comedy from the late '80s that kind of skims the surface of a lot of raunchy humor. The pacing is all over the place – some parts feel rushed, while other scenes linger a bit too long. The film's atmosphere has that gritty, independent feel typical of its era, which adds a certain charm, albeit a strangely dated one. The performances are hit or miss; some actors lean into the absurdity, while others just seem lost. What stands out here is the practical effects – for a film that’s mostly about sex, there’s an unexpected creativity in how those moments are handled. Just be careful not to mix it up with its similarly titled counterparts from the same time frame.

This film has had a somewhat tumultuous release history, with various VHS and DVD editions floating around, though it's not particularly common. The collector interest tends to be niche, mostly among fans of obscure comedies or those looking to complete their collections of 80s adult-themed films. It's not the most sought-after title but does pop up occasionally at conventions and in online auctions, often accompanied by a good story or two about its production.
