I show Amos and Andrew to my sociology students to illustrate the fallacy of racial stereotyping. This film allows us to examine several commonly held beliefs. Even in a sociology class, discussing race can be very difficult, and Amos and Andrew allow us to think about our prejudices without getting so emotionally involved. I only wish that we could speak openly and honestly about all matters of race. Amos and Andrew could do without some unnecessary bad language, and the volume of some of the dialogue is almost too low to hear, but this film leaves me wishing Nicolas Cage still made comedies.

How can you go wrong with this comedy starring Nicolas Cage and Samuel L. Jackson. It was funny years ago and is still funny now.

A little cheesy, but funny for its generation of films

Created: 31/08/08
I liked the combination of Cage and Jackson, they work well together. I didn't like the pace of the film (a little lethargic) or the predictable and cheesy lines--but did like some of the twists that took place. I bought the film because I enjoy watching both Samuel Jackson and Nicholas Cage. Not their best work, but not their worst either. A good film to have in your Cage/Jackson collection.
