Movie Reviews of Amos & Andrew
Movie Review: Maybe they should have asked Ted and Alice along too...
Summary: 2 Stars
Amos & Andrew (1993) The first film directed by writer Max Frye (Something Wild) is sadly a rather tepid message movie/comedy about a black writer (Samuel L. Jackson-Pulp Fiction) who moves onto an island community in New England that is all white. Thereafter, through a complicated set of circumstances, he is shot at, held hostage, etc. all because of the island people's innate prejudices. Nicolas Cage (Honeymoon in Vegas) is Amos Odell, a two-bit criminal enlisted by the island's police chief (Dabney Coleman-Short Time) to help him save face before the next election. It's all overly intricate, and whatever chances the film had at comedy are smothered by the heavy-handed social statements. To top everything else off, a very good supporting cast is given little to do. Also with Brad Dourif (Spontaneous Combustion), Michael Lerner (Barton Fink), and Margaret Colin (Like Father, Like Son).
Summary of Amos & Andrew
Academy Award?(r) winner* Nicolas Cage (Face-Off) and Oscar?(r) nominee** Samuel L. Jackson (Pulp Fiction) star in this action-packed comedy about a small-time crook anda Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright who bring new meaning to the term "dynamic duo!" Their wild andraucous adventures make Amos & Andrew the funniest, nuttiest, most hysterical comedy since Midnight Run! When a successful African-American author (Jackson) buys a house on an exclusive New England resort island, local law enforcement mistakes him for a thief and nearly kill him in a hilariously bungled attempt to "protect" the estate. But things go from loony to just plainwacky when the town's Police Chief (Dabney Coleman) attempts to cover up the embarrassing details of the event by planting a convicted criminal (Cage) in the house to take the rap! *1995: Actor, Leaving Las Vegas **1994: Supporting Actor, Pulp FictionAction & Adventure DVD Video
