Amos & Andrew

I don't know how it is that some very good movies get sidetracked when they are first released. This is one of them and it is well worth watching and owning, in my opinion. Of course, as a previous reviewer noted, it is NOT a re-do of the famous radio show and if you expect it to be, you will be very confused by it. No, this comedy is very much its own black-and-white story and a hilarious commentary on the prejudices and preconceived notions that are to be found even among the most supposedly enlightened of us. The whole comedy stems from erroneous assumptions made about a black man seen in an empty house in a posh NY community at night (he is, of course, the new owner). Both Samuel L. Jackson and Nicholas Cage (cast as a down-at-heels drifter pressed into service by the local sheriff) play their parts to perfection and Dabney Coleman and the cast of supporting characters are also excellent in their various roles as bumbling law dogs, neighbors, reporters, etc. In sum, I found this underrated film to be not only extremely funny but a wise and wry social commentary as well.

Well I really love the concept of this fabulous comedy, terrific storyline and a great cast with Jackson and Cage in the main roles, Laughter all the way through the movie with plenty of who is who. A writer moves to a little town from the big city lights and gets in more trouble than ever. Odd as it seems but the guilty one is really the innocent, Now to much of this story will spoil it and I would rather let you decide for yourself, make your own judgment. There's still plenty of action and suspense to go around that I have not mentioned and I know you won't be disappointed. I rated this movie A grade plus for being a first class classic, so gather up the popcorn, relax, sit down and put your feet up to a marvelous night of great entertainment and enjoy.

While a comedy, Amos & Andrew deals with racial stereotypes and assumptions. There were times when the dialogue between Cage and Jackson seemed more real ice then scripted. A highly underrated gem. I met Nic Cage in April here and New York City and he told me that he would love to work with Samuel L. Jackson again. I would be interesting to see what an updated version of this would be with the two men meeting again.

One of the most under-rated and under-valued comedies. Thoughtful and lol funny at times . A sleeper. High power cast from Cage and Jackson to Dabney Coleman. Great dialogue - farcical at times but there are monologues that endure wonderfully and are painfully insightful - even so many years later. Anyone should have a copy on the shelf for a dark rainy day or a convalesce. Wears well Solid five stars

nick has more hair & sam is young but still powerful actor. we see a white island being block busted by famous black man, who is un known to residents. call a cop who wants to be more than top cop & use nick to climb up. nick & sam join together to defeat cop & rich whites in the game with some laughs along the way.

Tackles prejudice and preconceived notions with a sense of humor. The ones who deserve it get theirs in the end. Very underrated movie. I watch it time and time again.

I could not find this movie anywhere and here amazon had it all this time! What a fun movie! My husband does not watch movies over and over but I will if it is good and this one he watched 3xs in a day and just laughed and enjoyed it with me. And amazon thank you for ever fast shipping!

I fully enjoyed this movie even though it was far out of reality. Cage & Jackson were two very different people caught up in a jumble of racial bigotry and politics. Police and political stupidity, That is where the humor is. I think you will enjoy it as much as I did. I am NOT a bit sorry I bought it.

la livraison est très faites. Le thème du film étonnant mais je ne suis pas réellement satisfaite. Mais une deuxième approche parfois est réellement, nécessaire dans certains cas. Claude Bruere

A very good copy

I've been looking for this movie for years. Saw it! Wanted it! Found it! Bought it! Great movie. Well worth the buy. Great story line.

Ich habe mir den film gekauft weil ich ein großer nicolas cage fan bin. Ich finde dass aus dem Film mit " DEN 2 SEHR GUTEN SCHAUSPIELERN" wenig gemacht wurde . Es hätte ein großartiger Film werden können aber es ist trotz all dem ein guter Film geworden. Fazit: Es ist eine gute Komödie entstanden den man sich angucken muss !!!!
