Coming 2 America’s Subpar Feminist Subplot

March 16, 2021

Considering Coming 2 America, the recent sequel to the original Coming to America was filmed 30 years after the original, one would expect the film to have a bit of a modern era makeover. 30 years of technological advancements should be reflected in the CGI and cinematography, 30 years of achievements in makeup and fashion should be reflected in the films wardrobe, and most importantly, 30 years of social progress should be reflected in the film’s representation.

Overall, the original was not particularly lacking in these departments. Although there are some jokes that don’t hold up, mainly involving men dressing up like women for shock humor (how repulsive!), the movie features a handful of inspiring women, namely Lisa and Queen Aoleon. The film even passes the Bechdel Test! By all means the sequel was on track to continue the franchise’s decently “woke” trajectory into the present day, especially with the return of Shari Headley as Lisa, as well as the casting of KiKi Layne (If Beale Street Could Talk), Leslie Jones (Saturday Night Live), and singer/model Teyana Taylor.

"She Rides Shotgun" — A Gritty, Heartbreaking Father-Daughter Thriller

Nick Rowland’s She Rides Shotgun is a blistering, blood-soaked road thriller that doubles as a bruised love story between a haunted ex-con (a career-best Taron Egerton) and the daughter he barely knows (astonishing newcomer Ana Sophia Heger). Fueled by white-knuckle chases, razor-tense shootouts, and quiet moments of aching tenderness, the film captures both the terror and fragile beauty of survival. It’s gritty, heartbreaking, and unforgettable—a father-daughter odyssey destined to leave audiences shaken.
