Leave your thoughts about Amos & Andrew.
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Chris HicksThe title sounds like a bad joke - Amos & Andrew. Unfortunately, the movie is just as bad. |
| Chicago TribuneDave KehrIt portrays an unpleasant situation and then treats it with sitcom tactics. Either the humor should have been angrier and more hard-edged, or the filmmakers should have backed away from the situation altogether. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliUnlike most comedies, the jokes succeed more often than they fail, except perhaps during the concluding fifteen minutes, when the movie runs out of gas. |
| The Seattle TimesJeff ShannonAmos & Andrew is a better-than-average comedy that's likable enough while unfolding but evaporative when over. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertAlthough the movie strives mightily to teach its lesson, which is that you cannot judge a man by the color of his skin, the humor is undermined by the sadness of the basic situation. |
| eFilmCritic.comScott WeinbergOne of the stupidest and most morally retarded comedies of the decade. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrCage is the only actor allowed to do riffs on his assigned part, something he takes full advantage of; the others are stuck with their two-dimensional satirical profiles, which grow increasingly tiresome and unyielding as the comic plot predictably unfolds. |
| Washington PostHal HinsonFrye keeps the film within itself; he's found just the right scale and he sticks with it. As a result, Amos & Andrew is a very funny little film with big pleasures, and a most promising debut. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonOne thing's for sure about Amos & Andrew: It ain't no "Thelma & Louise." |
| The New York TimesVincent CanbyMr. Frye's initial conceits are good ones, but the film's humor somehow gets sopped up by the spongy writing and direction. The characters are fuzzily realized. The dialogue is lame and the continuity so shaky that one entire subplot sinks in confusion. |
