Small Time Crooks - 2000 ***1/2



Okay, I''ll admit that this wasn't a bad film, in fact it was a hell of a lot funnier than I had first imagined it would be. Mainly because Woody Allen was actually in the movie which is always a bonus for me. The plot is simple, Allen and three 'associates' decide to rob a bank by opening a cookie shop next door and drilling through the wall bit by bit. Allen enlists the help of his wife to make the cookies in the shop as a cover so that they don't cause suspicion, unaware that her cookies are now the best biscuits the country has ever seen.

It's all very silly and the kind of thing that Allen is known for, but it doesn't stop us from having a few laughs every now and again.
