A pampered African prince travels with his loyal friend to Queens, New York, hoping to find someone who will love him for himself. Disguised as an ordinary immigrant, he takes a job and encounters new friends, unfamiliar routines, and plenty of trouble as he adjusts to life far from home.
You’ll enjoy this if you like fish-out-of-water comedies with romance, culture clashes, and broad humor; Not for you if you prefer subtle jokes, a brisk pace, or stories with unpredictable turns.
