Apologies to anyone who can remember the 1990s well, but that decade was a considerable amount of time ago now, and one thing that time does, without fail is march onward. Lots of movies came out during the 1990s, and not all can be remembered fondly, especially because these movies are now roughly between 25 and 35 years old.
Still, those are probably more well-known than Brooks’ third-last – and overall most obscure – film, 1991’s Life Stinks. It’s about a wealthy man making a bet that he can survive being homeless for an entire month, and learning a valuable lesson from the whole ordeal, blah, blah, blah. It’s not particularly funny or insightful, and unlike some of the soon-to-be-mentioned movies, it’s understandable why Life Stinks has been more or less forgotten.
Still, Amos & Andrew isn't quite good enough to be fully worth the two talented leads… though with Cage at least, it’s equally accurate to say he’s been in much better movies and far worse ones than this one. It’s all a little dated, and might've even felt a bit out of touch in some ways back in 1993, but it’s not entirely terrible… merely hard to recommend to those who aren’t die-hard fans of either star.
It's most interesting for some of the cameos/supporting roles it features, including Robin Williams , and a very young Adam Sandler, who also plays a clown. Otherwise, it’s very one-note. There’s some initial fun in seeing a dark comedy about a terrible clown for a while, but the film doesn’t do enough to make it sufficiently entertaining for nearly an hour and a half.
