Review

When Andrew Sterling (Jackson), Pulitzer Prize—winning playwright and wealthy black man, arrives at his new home on an island in New England, his neighbors mistake him for a burglar and call in the local police and set in motion what was surely intended to be a comical farce, poking fun at racial attitudes. Instead, the result is non-stop inanity and annoying stereotypes. Local police chief Coleman attempts to cover his tracks by setting loose petty thief Cage (who plays Amos) on the unsuspecting Jackson. Cage and Jackson seem to sleepwalk their way through the anemic screenplay.
