Synopsis: Dishwasher and small-fry criminal Ray hits on a plan with his partners in crime to re-open a local pizza place and dig through to the bank down the street. As his wife can't cook pizza but does great cookies, that's what they sell. While the no-hope tunnellers get lost underground, the cookie operation really takes off and the team find themselves rich people. It is not easy to be accepted in the rich society nor to loose its habits.
Review: The movie is a pleasant comedy, in which as often Woody Allen is an hysteric serial loose. His wife is actually the success person because of her cooking talent and behaviour toward people. Nothing special to comment, except that some parts are quite long since they get rich. This already short comedy could have been cut by good 20 minutes to avoid these flaws.
Rating: 4 /10
