Steal Big Steal Little Reviews
Andy Garica shines...a true heartleft picture
This film is one of the greats. Andy Garcia is just terrific. It has all the sensibilitys that more films need.. The cast is superb and Alan Arkin especially shines as is right on in his role of Lou.
God Bless you Andy!

Lemon tree very pretty, and lemon flower very sweet....
As I was browsing through the HBO offerings last Friday night I saw the unusual pairing of Alan Arkin and Andy Garcia. I missed the crucial first fifteen minutes, and was a bit confused, but that's not really a bad thing in this movie. After the plot sort of began to make sense to me, Joey Pants showed up as Ruben's (the good, kind, warm hearted brother) attorney. That clinched it. Even though a new storyline or plot twist was thrown in every few minutes like adding more chilés for salsa, with Andy Garcia, (who is much, much more than a man with a love for hats)* Alan Arkin, Andy Garcia, Joe Pantoliano and David Ogden Stiers, I was laughing (or crying) every moment.
There are definite hold your breath moments about what's going to happen next; and the scenery is pretty darn good, too.
It reminded me at first of a James Cagney movie, 'Never Steal Anything Small', which has a similar title, but other than the leads being lovable and charming, the movies are not really the same.
This is also a long movie, the running time is 2 hours and 15 minutes, but it never dragged, and was never boring. It was kind of like if Billy Jack and Caine from Kung Fu were really identical twins and Billy Jack decided he wanted more money and power and to sell all their land.
As another reviewer said, it is acted lovingly by everyone in the cast, which makes it even more endearing.
It gets a four star from Casablanca, and only misses five because of some of the things at the big party.
Watch it, watch it twice...make some guacamole, buy something good to drink, and just enjoy it.
