2.0 out of 5 stars If you liked "The Castle", then you may enjoy this movie, July 7 2004

This review is from: Small Time Crooks (Widescreen) (DVD)

I've always liked Woody Allen movies, especially his early funny ones, and I just sorta ignored the awful "serious" ones, like "Stardust Memories". But this is a comedy, and it's dreadful. Thank heaven it cost me only five bucks.

OK, so Woody and his wife (Tracy Ullman) become rich and she wants to buy "class". The movie becomes a sneering put-down of her pretensions. It's just plain ugly.

Elaine May is terrific, though, and I'll give the flick an extra star for her performance (as the wife's cousin).

4.0 out of 5 stars Rags To Riches To Rags - Very Funny and Heartwarming, Jun 18 2004

By

Helen "Helen Van Patton Patterson" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Small Time Crooks (Widescreen) (DVD)

This is such a funny movie. Woody Allen and his partners in crime play up their bumbling idiot characters so well! Tracey Ullman is a genius - She can play any character and make it believable.

This rags to riches to rags story is funny and heartwarming and just fun to watch. This was also the first time I saw Hugh Grant playing such a loathsome character - he was great! What can I say about Elaine May except she is so good that it looks like she's not even acting!

The comedic acting was very good in this movie and I can't wait to own it on DVD so I can sit back and enjoy over and over again.

2.0 out of 5 stars Woody Rips Off Car 54
Why?

Why did you do it, Woody? Sure, the premise of Small Time Crooks was interesting - but then I felt the same way when I saw it the FIRST time on television - on Car 54,... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Some of these reviewers must be watching another movie!!!!
This is a good film, not his best, but it isn't terrible. In fact, I kind of enjoyed it. There are some great lines, and I like the talent of Jon Lovitz. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars A minor Woody Allen effort made notable by Elaine May
When you learn that Woody Allen made a film with Tracy Ullman as his leading lady, then you say to yourself that you would like to see that movie. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Comedy By Woody Allen!
This movie is downright silly, and I loved every second of it! It's good to see Woody Allen writing, directing, and acting in a comedy movie. Read more
