Small Time Crooks.

Woody allen plays a loser who plans to pull off a big bank robbery by tunnelling underneath it. as a cover, he rents the vacant shop next door and opens it selling cookies so as not to arose suspicion while digging. The robbery all goes wrong.
but his wife Frenchy(Tracy Ullman) who runs runs the shop discovers that her cookies are a surprise smash, so much in fact that it makes them incredibly rich.

This is very entertaining and one of Woody Allen's funniest films since Mighty Aphrodite. and i much prefer it when Woody is doing straight comedy like he used to in all his early films.
Tracy Ullman is hilarious and very good too, and Hugh grant who co stars as the posh con man.
Some funny dialogue as well like when he says to his wife, What would you say if I told you you were married to a genius?
and she answers, I'd say I must be a bigamist.

I highly recommend this great comedy gem and award 85.5 out of 100.
