Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2.5/4 --
Although 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.

Rating: 1.5/4 --
Comedies about racism risk trivializing the issue on the one hand or becoming preachy and dull on the other. Amos & Andrew manages to do both.

An ad for the unemployed actor
Moviehole
A very funny little film with big pleasures, and a most promising debut.

Washington Post
Cage 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.
