Amos & Andrew
Misunderstood. Misplaced. Mismatched.
Directed by E. Max Frye
Produced by New Line Cinema, Castle Rock Entertainment
A buddy-comedy romp that uses racial profiling and police corruption as the setup for an unlikely partnership between a wrongly accused writer and a jailed thief.
When Andrew Sterling, a successful black urbanite writer, buys a vacation home on a resort in New England the police mistake him for a burglar. After surrounding his home with armed men, Chief Tolliver realizes his mistake and to avoid the bad publicity offers a thief in his jail, Amos Odell a deal.
