Small Time Crooks is a 2000 Woody Allen comedy film starring Woody Allen himself and Tracey Ullman.

Tagline: They took a bite out of crime.

Story

The plot revolves around a lower-class New York couple turning to petty crime in order to achieve wealth. Three buddies (played by Allen, Jon Lovitz, and Michael Rapaport) plot a robbery, and purchase the store nextdoor to their targeted victim, so that they could burrow underground into the neighboring property. Allen's wife (played by Ullman) turns the store into a bakery as a front. Although the burglary is predictably bungled, the bakery's business soars, turning Allen and Ullman into a nouveau-riche couple who inadvertently clash with Manhattan's high society.

Ullman was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Comedy/Musical for her performance and Elaine May won Best Supporting Actress at the National Society of Film Critics Awards for her performance.

Small Time Crooks was the highest grossing film directed by Allen at the North American box office between 1989's Crimes and Misdemeanors
and 2005's Match Point with a gross of $17.2 million. However it was also one of the few later Allen films which did less well outside the U.S. and Canada, and its global gross was $29.9 million.
