For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Review: This is an average movie by Woody Allen which I didn't really find that funny. In many ways I found it more annoying than anything because the storyline was ridiculous Woody Allen is babbling on about rubbish all the way through the film. Tracey Ullman clearly saved the movie as the rich wife of Woody Allen whose attracted to the stuck up Hugh Grant, but when she loses all of her money she soon finds out that Grant was only interested in her cash. I found this movie weak and uninteresting because of its far fetched concept, but it's harmless fun if you want a movie without much depth. Average!Round-Up: This is yet another movie from Allen which I struggled to stay awake through. It's Allen's basic rambling that gets on my nerves in some of his films and his unnecessary million words per minute. I have noticed that he directs other actors much better than he directs himself, which makes his films a bit hard to enjoy because he is in most of his movies and he gets most of the screen time. When I have finished watching all of his films that are on my rental list, I will be able to make a better overall verdict about the writer/producer/director, but at this precise moment, I'm in 2 minds about his work. He is definitely unique and original, but the question is still out there if it's in a good or bad way.Budget: $25million Worldwide Gross: $30millionI recommend this movie to people who are into there Woody Allen movies about a couple who plan to rob a bank but end up making there fortune from selling cookies. 3/10

Weak movie, yet it is worth watching. Tracey Ullman is very hot, thanks to some magician working on the set. Tha short skirts and tight outfits, wow. I had to check who the actress is and was surprised that it was Tracey Ullman...wow. Long legs and all, she is the only good thing about this movie. Allen has lost it I think, he is just riding his old fame's waves and nothing else. Amazing that famous starts are lining up to be in his movies. He is one of the luckiest men giving practically nothing, yet people watch him and wan to be around him. Anyway, watch it ans see if you share my opinion about this one, enjoy Tracey!

If you can hold on through some lame one-liners and weak slapstick in the first half-an-hour of 'Small Time Crooks' you'll be amply rewarded with some much better comedy in the second half.There's oodles of comic talent on show (Tracey Ullman and Elaine May playing the dumb and dumber broads are wonderful) and there are enough gems in the dialogue to keep the brisk, frothy plot bouncing merrily along for a thoroughly enjoyable 90 minutes.Comic highlights? Without giving too much away look out for the Sunset Farms documentary at about half way and Elaine May's (she seems to have all the best lines) reference to her first husband Otto. In fact Elaine May, in a rare appearance, is an absolute treat.

One-note reworking of 1942's "Larceny, Inc." about a low-class New York couple who conspire to rob a bank, but who instead find financial success through their own ruse: by opening a bakery right next door. Writer-director-star Woody Allen doesn't appear to have his heart invested in this material (it seems a little cheeky and overtly commercial for him), though there are some good laughs after a sloppy opening. Colorful, squirrelly supporting players keep it bubbling happily for about an hour, but Allen's third act finishes limply. Slapstick chaos is no longer Woody's forte; he resorts to brash heckling to get his script over the hump, and he's hindered further by Zhao Fei's dark, disappointing cinematography. ** from ****
