Review of Small Time Crooks (2000) by Jennifer X — 18 Oct 2008
At the risk of sounding too repetitive (because I mention it in like every Woody review I do), I honestly don't know why people accuse Allen's work of deteriorating over the years. This is just as funny, if not funnier than, his early 70s works.
I like it just as much as Sex, and a little more than Love and Death, and a whole lot more than Bananas. It's definitely a welcome return to form and I'm glad he's been dabbling in cross-genres but sometimes a straight-up comedy is what one needs.
Tracy Ullman is a brilliant comedienne and gives depth to her one-dimensional character. S.
