COMING TO AMERICA
June 20, 2014  | By David Bianculli

Spike, 6:30 p.m. ET

 

This 1988 comedy is one of the sparkling movies from Eddie Murphy’s early years, when he burst onto the big screen after commanding attention on Saturday Night Live. It’s followed on Spike by an even earlier triumph, 1982’s even better Trading Places comedy. If there had been room made for 1983’s 48 Hrs., you’d pretty much have the best of Eddie Murphy on film – then, and now.
