Has Anyone Seen the Movie Amos and Andrew?

I posted this in another thread.

****************************
It's one of my favorite movies. Samuel L. Jackson is an author who bought a home in a New England resort island. The neighbors see Samuel L Jackson and assume he's a criminal and they call the police. The police overreact and surround his home. When the cops realize their mistake they get a drifter, played by Nicolas Cage, to pose as theif so the cops can have a legitimate reason for being there. Things go from bad to worse in this comedy.

I thought of this movie as soon as I heard about this story. I think this is a good teachable moment. People see this differently according to their perspective. I am an African American female who has been the victim of heavy handed tactics by the police when I was innocent of any wrong doing. This is not an uncommon occurence of many people in my community. Many times the police act first in a heavy handed manner until the situation proves itself to be otherwise

It flew under the radar. It was funny but pretty deep also.

But it sounds interesting. And particularly relevant now.

...i've heard of it, though and appreciate your description of it. i'm adding it to my list of 'must see' rentals. i hope you added it to our film list. :hi:

I have to watch it now.
