Amos & Andrew (1993)
7/10
No classic, but worth seeing
27 January 2003
The theme of racial bigotry is quite outdated, so the film's social commentary didn't really intrigue me. But it did make me laugh. Nicolas Cage and Samuel L. Jackson (both on my favorite actors list) give spirited performances. And I liked the rap song at the end by Sir Mix A Lot, which pretty much sums up the film's themes in a nutshell. The story is predictable and the comedy never hits a bull's eye, but it comes close enough. "Amos and Andrew" is not a memorable comedy, but it's worth watching, especially if you're a fan of the two main actors.

My score: 7 (out of 10)
