Initially, I did not want to see this film because it was directed by Woody Allen. Personally, I hate Woody Allen before and after seeing this film. I went to see "Small Time Crooks" because of the plot. I like a good plot-oriented film. This fit the requirements I was looking for.

Even with the disdain I have for Woody Allen, I remained objective and I'm glad I did. This was not a bad film after all. The plot surrounded a robber and his gang figuring out the best way to earn a cheap buck. After some time, they devise a plan that backfires, which leads into an incredible turn of luck for everyone involved.

I must give credit to the writer's because I thought that the script was a refreshing look at a subject that has become quite cliche over time.

The only criticism I have for "Small Time Crooks" is for Woody Allen. I hope he stops portraying himself as someone who needs to stop in the middle of a line and act as though he doesn't know what the heck is going on. I hope if and when I see his next film, he won't be doing that.

"Small Time Crooks" is a good film and should be seen if fans like a nice easy going comedy.
