This is an amiable and quite conventional comedy. The biggest problem is that it's not all that funny. The whole movie, with its rather antiquated notions of the lower classes, feels as if it were inspired by another era.

Audience Reviews for Small Time Crooks

Mar 04, 2012As preposterous as it is, Small Time Crooks is an effective, often hilarious, Woody Allen comedy. The script is full of witty dialogue, in classic Allen style, and keeps the film fresh with a number of plot twists. Good acting all around, with an especially good chemistry between Allen and Tracey Ulman. While it certainly doesn't have the most weighty themes like his dramatic works, it deals with its social commentary and ârags to richesâ? theme pretty effectively. Fast paced and consistently funny, itâ(TM)s definitely a worth seeing for Allen fans. 3.5/5 StarsJeffrey M Super Reviewer

Mar 19, 2010Remotely funny, with several instances of pure comic genius, but mostly it's just a regular run of the mill Woody Allen movie, not the funniest, not the worst.Liz < Super Reviewer
