Many comedians are compared to Richard Pryor, but regular CHAPELLE`S SHOW contributor Paul Mooney actually deserves it, having written for the maverick comedian. Mooney further honed his skills writing for SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE, SANFORD AND SON, and IN LIVING COLOR, and now he brings the biting comedy he`s become known for on the HOWARD STERN SHOW to this utterly hilarious satire of white America.

Woody Allen returns to his slapstick days with this comic romp, which centers on a small-time hood, Ray Winkler, who just can`t catch a break. It`s as if Virgil Starkwell (Allen`s hysterically incompetent criminal mastermind from TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN) has finally gotten out of prison and is still up to his old scheming. Against his wife Frenchy`s (Tracey Ullman) better judgment, Ray puts together a ragtag group of misfits, including a scene-stealing Elaine May, and immerses them in a crazy plot to rob a bank. But everything gets upended when their front, a cookie store, takes off, thrusting the Winklers into the upper echelons of New York`s high society.SMALL TIME CROOKS looks like no other Allen film; gone are the black-and-white shades of Manhattan, replaced instead by the ridiculously loud shirts Ray wears and the perfectly garish furniture and artwork Frenchy accumulates. Even the Allen soundtrack, usually exclusively jazz, big band, and Dixieland standards, features Tequila by the Champs as an underlying theme. What stands out most of all, however, is the offbeat, charming relationship between Ray and Frenchy, two ne`er-do-wells who get to spend a little time at the top.

CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN: College sweethearts Tom (Steve Martin) and Kate (Bonnie Hunt) both dreamed of having a huge family and fulfilling careers. But after they had a few kids, Kate gave up her career as a sportswriter, Tom abandoned his hope of becoming the coach of their alma mater`s football team, and they moved their brood from the city to the country. Now, after twelve children and a happy life in rural Illinois, Tom has been offered the chance to live his dream and coach the Stallions. No sooner does the family pack up and move to Chicago to pursue Tom`s dream job than Kate`s ship comes in as well: a publisher has picked up her manuscript based on her experiences raising 12 children. Of course, there`s a hitch. Kate has to go to New York for a few days, leaving Tom as the primary care giver for his clan. Can Tom hold it together with his kids--who didn`t want to move in the first place--pulling him one way and the university pulling him the other? Shawn Levy directs this likable update of the 1950 film of the same title, which was based on a true story.JUST MARRIED: Juggling slapstick comedy with witty dialogue and youthful romance, JUST MARRIED provides an entertaining and optimistic glimpse of young relationships and the struggle to stay in love in a world where everything goes wrong. A chance encounter on a beach brings Tom (Ashton Kutcher, DUDE, WHERE`S MY CAR?) and Sarah (Brittany Murphy, 8 MILE) into each other`s lives. They quickly fall in love and agree to get married. Although Sarah`s wealthy family does not approve of their daughter`s fianci, Tom and Sarah believe they can sustain themselves on love, and so they take the matrimonial plunge. As soon as they are married, however, things start to unravel--first in their newlywed suite, next on the airplane to their honeymoon in Italy, then in the five-star Hotel du Rjve in France. Pretty soon the couple is living out a hellish version of Murphy`s Law, and divorce begins to look hilariously ominou
