Coming to America

Coming to America is a 1988 film directed by John Landis. The film tells the story of Akeem, prince of the African nation of Zamunda, who at the age of 21 is forced to marry a woman chosen by his parents, as he dictates the tradition of the country, without ever having known her.
Determined to find a woman who is really in love with him, he asks his father for a vacation before the wedding and leaves with his friend Semmi for New York, where he actually goes to look for true love.

And here is the LEGO Ideas project, the building in Queens where Akeem (Eddie Murphy) and Semmi (Arsenio Hall) reside throughout the film and where truly hilarious scenes take place.

The set includes all the main characters: King Jaffe Joffer, a royal rose bearer, Akeem, Semmi, Morris, Clarence, Saul, Lisa McDowell, the landlord, Randolph and Mortimer Duke.
