BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

gavin6942 A gangster's former mistress (Angel Tompkins) hooks up with a troupe of circus midgets who, as a sideline, rob banks and casinos.From producer Albert Band comes this very strange version of a gangster and/or heist film, with the criminals being midgets. That alone seems to be the selling point, and strangely enough it works. Angel Tompkins was hired on by Larry Gordon, and first-time director Chris Christenberry was a fan of hers and encouraged it. Band, oddly, seems to have been primarily the money, though he did help Gordon with casting.I liked the attempt to give a nod to other, better films, especially the nice reference to "Dillinger" on the marquee. (I believe they were made by the same production company, but that might not be true.) And, lastly, I love how it dances around the R rating. Although there is the constant reference to sex and nudity -- and even gang rape at one point -- they never actually show anything and the language is relatively clean. So, it earns a PG despite clearly being an R-level film.Tompkins recalls Christenberry having an alcohol problem on set, at one point almost falling off the crane. She also recalls having to teach the little people how to wash their hair, an act that earned her the unofficial title "Miss Little People". For the next thirty years, little people would approach her and thank her for making them feel normal.

redhairedlad When this movie was released, I was in the USAF, and Angel Tomkins came to our base for it's release there. She had been on some T.V. episodes, including a Bonanza that my wife and I liked in which she portrayed a pyromaniac. We were anxious to see the 'fire lady' and to see her act in something else.I got to speak to her in person, and got a nice close-up photograph of other men fawning over her.This move was so ridiculous in its ludicrous story, its shoddy production and sexual exploitation that we walked out! It may be the only film I ever walked out on.You should watch this only if you want to feel creepy and as if you've wasted precious time.

baphomet25 The little people in this movie are pretty funny, especially when they fight. The lead man (Curtis) is a self proclaimed Pimp of tall women.The best part of this movie is the Hot blonde,anyway a movie with a band of thieving little people and hot chicks is gonna be great no matter how u look at it. Now if your the serious type it's not all that great....but then again why would you be watching a movie with a band of midgets charming hot babes and on a crime spree across the country. The fight scene in the bar when Curtis goes to get his babe back from the tall men is really funny and that little dude is tough probably cause he was pumped up EO bars.

EyeAskance Angel Tompkins(grrrrr.....)stars in this dodgy modern retelling of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", portraying a shifty waitress who falls into a life of crime with a band of midget grifters. Together, they turn their initial petty thefts into big-time capers which ultimately lead to very serious consequences. Not at all the light comedy it was marketed as, though there are giggles in spots, the mien of LITTLE CIGARS borders more on seedy noir in a rather nontraditional and semi-exploitive way. Miles short of masterful, but a unique and quirky as hell B flick with considerable cult appeal.5/10
