Amos & Andrew

When a wealthy African-American couple, Amos and Andrew, try to buy a home in a predominantly white neighborhood, they are mistakenly targeted by the FBI as criminals due to a racial profiling operation. Believing Andrew is a federal agent involved in a sting, the local police chief, Saloni, begins an elaborate and misguided attempt to capture him. The situation escalates into a series of comedic misunderstandings and dangerous situations as the couple tries to navigate the absurd circumstances.

Amos & Andrew was met with mixed reviews. While some critics appreciated its satirical take on racism and police procedures, many found the humor to be heavy-handed and the plot somewhat predictable. The performances, particularly from Samuel L. Jackson, were generally praised, but the film struggled to find a wide audience.

• Praised for its attempt at social satire regarding racial profiling.
• Criticized for its uneven pacing and sometimes heavy-handed comedic approach.
• Samuel L. Jackson's performance was a standout element for many reviewers.

Google audience: Google users largely found the film to be an entertaining, albeit flawed, comedy with a relevant message about race relations and police incompetence. While some felt the humor didn't always land, many appreciated the movie's bold attempt to tackle serious issues through comedy and praised the lead performances.

None notable.

The film was written by E. Max Frye, who also wrote the screenplay for 'The Cooler'.
