Negative Positive
Title: Small Time Crooks, Small Time Comedy
Review: Woody Allen is seldom bad, but even he cannot overcome a repetitive series of ethnic joke sequences and a monotonous script. At first, one is almost waiting for the burlesque drum "thump" at the end of the obvious gags, but after the third or fourth time one wonders when something new is going to happen. The plot is thin and implausible while not really being funny. The concluding half hour has a canned, almost desperate-to-finish quality. Don't buy this movie before renting it.
