Movie Reviews of Amos & Andrew
Movie Review: Funny movie with racial prejudice message coming through loud and clear
Summary: 5 Stars
Despite the high jinks, bumbling and fumbling of Dabney Coleman's Cops and that of small-time hood Nicolas Cage, the racial issue between Blacks and Whites was still able to get the message across; that despite our open-mindness, there's still a racial divide in many parts of your country. Of course, you'd have to have just landed on Earth not to realize that.
Still, an entertaining and very funny movie with Samuel L. Jackson as Andrew Sterling, suffering the injustice of a racist police chief and neighbors in his new hometown.
Nicolas Cage as the hard-luck patsy for the cops "spin control" caper. A down-to-Earth, down on his luck, functional illiterate, directionally handicapped, bumbling crook with a heart of tarnished silver.
Dabney Coleman as the aforementioned racist police chief Cecil Tolliver; also running for county office. Stuck in a compromising position, trying his best to unravel the mess he's gotten himself into; all the while "fronting" for the Press as a good guy.
Bob Balaban provides comical "comic relief" as the Hostage Negotiator Dr. R.A. Fink with a blast of his Bob Newhart-style telephone monologue.
A surprisingly good movie from back in 1993.
Summary of Amos & Andrew
Academy AwardÂ(r) winner* Nicolas Cage (Face-Off) and OscarÂ(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 FictionSimilar DVD Movies
