Movie Review: WOODY ALLEN, A BEAUTIFUL GIRL, AND FUN MYSTERY
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the funniest serial killer mystery ever filmed. You will chuckle and laugh at Woody Allen who plays a magician that gets involved with a reporter want-to-be. It's a bit far fetched but that's part of the comedy charm of this one.
A dead reporter returns from the hereafter to tell the budding school journalist (played by Scarlett Johansson) about the biggest scoop in crime journalism. She picks up the story, with additional occasional help from the dead man and a Vaudevillian magician (Woody Allen).
The killer is a rich Londoner (played by Hugh Jackman)and a handsome guy so the young reporter falls in love with him, naturally, and becomes his lover. Woody Allen bungles his way through the girl reporter's scoop investigation pretending to be her father. Well, all that's the serious side of the film, all the rest is fast-paced comedy, perfect for Woody Allen. A delight to all Woody Allen fans.
Lots of laughs along with a mystery plot. What's not to like. Not blood, nudity, violence, and horror--just funny, great, fast entertainment. And at a reasonable price.
Movie Review: Charming
Summary: 5 Stars
I had been planning to see this movie ever since I saw Match Point but had always put it off for some reason or another, fearing that this type of comedy was just not my taste. Well I finally picked it up yesterday and watched it tonight and oh boy what a surprise! Far from a sappy love story, the chemistry between Scarlett and Allen is absolutely captivating. I found myself chuckling at the clever banter that went on between the two and found the fantasy-themed backstory more than refreshing. This film should have had Woody with Scarlett on the cover and not Jack, for it is the Scarlett/Woody duo that brings the cheery, light-hearted feelings to the screen.
I highly recommend this film if you are looking for a cheery laugh or particularly if you had just seen Match Point and looking for an endearing Scarlett/Woody combo. Unlike Match Point, this is a light-hearted and incredibly charming comedy that you can watch over and over again. Don't even think of waiting to see this like I did! Go see it now!
Movie Review: One word - AMAZING!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Before watch this movie i was reading a lot of reviews and now, after watching this movie, i really REALLY don't understand why most of people give it from 3 to 4 stars.
I began to watch this film from the first second with assumptions that this movie is not so good. BUT.... from already first moments it amazed me with it's lightness, romantic, jokes...
I watched every second with pleasure and didn't regret any minute of it..
Film if funny, romantic, excitement and has a very good actors. If you wanna watch movie for better mood or Friday evening - this is the best choice.
Really, i'm not fan of Woody Allen, but this film - Two Thumbs up!!!
Highly recommended.
Movie Review: Woody you never fade for long
Summary: 5 Stars
His movies are always interesting. He does about one per year doesn't he?
Well, if you thought Match Point was his shedding of comedic genre (yeah, sure) then get Scoop and lighten up.
I laughed loud, chuckled as Woody got back into his vaudevillian homage, a la Danny Rose.
We are also graced to watch Scarlett as his perfect foil. She is not quite the Carole Lombard but she is gorgeous and Allen's lines are funny exiting her lips.
Have fun and enjoy the beautiful London scenery. Woody always picks the best of the best cinematographers for this.
Movie Review: Thoroughly Entertaining and utterly funny
Summary: 5 Stars
Woody Allen signature comedy is back in full throttle! The script is hilarious and the magician character played by the writer-director, what's his name... the "Woody Allen" himself is so cutely funny!
I can't resist one quote: Aging Woody Allen to Scarlett Johansson: "My wife dumped me, if you can believe that......". And then Scarlett Johansson looks at him and says ".......", you will just have to see it, it's so laugh-out funny!
Another one- "I was born in Hebrewcist but converted into Narcissist"..
