Most helpful review Small Time Crooks

  • good effort.

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By Daniel Johnson from Lon, UK , 29 Jun 2004

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    A seemingly lower scale Woody effort at first; but.. I dunno, the story grows in stature and scope as it goes along, because far more than the general beginning suggests. Raises issues of class distinction; drawing lines between interests and pretentiousness... and wondering whether maybe being a crook is just as meaningful an existance. Worth seeing!

  • Allen at his best

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By a customer from East of England , 30 Aug 2009
    A story of stupid people trying to hit big bucks through crime. They fail spectacularly but the big time comes their way via Frenchy, the wife of the lead character (he's so dim, I've forgotten his name) played by Woody Allen. The script is very funny indeed but why on earth does Alllen think he's leading man material? He's really a two paper bag job isn't he??

    Nothing too sophisticated - but tons of fun for some undemanding viewing.

  • Classic Woody

    Rated - 4.0 stars

    This is Allen returning to his old school humour. Its a great rags to riches story with some moral dilemmas thrown in. Tracy Ullman puts in a great performance as well. I've almost forgotten that she's English.

  • Small Time Crooks

    Rated - 2.0 stars  
    By a customer from Bridgend , 28 Jan 2009
    Disappointing, even for Woody Allen fans.

    Although there are some funny moments, I didn't feel as if the movie had any direction.

  • Disappointing

    Rated - 2.0 stars  
    By a customer from Surrey , 12 Dec 2008
    A couple of laugh out loud lines but otherwise distinctly mediocre and Allen does not help the film by being his predicatable tedious self. There are better Woody films than this, with and without him acting in them.
