Basically, a caper film fulfills my need to laugh throughout the film. A heist film is more about the wow factor, whether it be the suspense, the plot turns, the tension/conflict between characters, the over-the-top action, the "I can't believe they pulled it off," or the surprise twist ending.
Capers should have me in tears, or, at least, with a stupid grin throughout it.
