Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
It has plenty of hilarious jokes and concepts, like the ventriloquists' dummies at prison visiting time, and the return home from a chaingang break with five shackled cons in tow.

Woody Allen's Take the Money and Run has some very funny moments, and you'll laugh a lot, but in the last analysis it isn't a very funny movie.

fresh:
Allen has made a movie that is, in effect, a feature-length, two-reel comedy -- something very special and eccentric and funny.

rotten:
A few good laughs in an 85-minute film do not a comedy make.

Whatever its genesis, Allen's scraggly rhetoric evolved into the dominant comic style of the 70s.
