Amos & Andrew (Richard Gibbs)

Writer Andrew Sterling (Samuel L. Jackson) is getting settled in his vacation home when he's mistaken for a burglar by concerned neighbors and the ensuing chaos introduces him to petty criminal Amos Odell (Nicolas Cage). It's quite unusual how some movies can go from inconsequential to accidentally relevant over time. A lot of talented people seem lost in this middling comedy, though Cage is fun revisiting (more or less) Raising Arizona's H.I. McDunnough.

Richard Gibbs had an impressive run as a comedy composer in the early 90s and this score is but one example of his talents, with some lively Southern-flavored writing and a catchy-as-hell main theme.
