Movie Reviews of Scoop
Movie Review: Hilarious twisted tale of murder and mystery !
Summary: 4 Stars
Scarlet Johansson is the new muse of Woody Allen. Her beauty is an accurate blend of naive child and alluring woman; and the way she features her character of young journalist in search of a supposed assassin of Tarot, leads her to meet a magician, and so both of them will undertake a thoughtful plan to prove they are on the right clue. The man in question is a wealthy English aristocrat (Hugh Jackman) .
As you may imagine Allen's script is plenty of imaginative laughable situations, hovered of a caustic comments that will capture your attention from start to finish.
This new stage of Allen on the other side of the Atlantic have nurtured him. More relaxed and yet, much more incisive and acidic.
Watch it. It will never let you down.
Movie Review: Woody Allen's latest Scoop - read all about it!
Summary: 4 Stars
Another from Woody's recent "English" period, shot in London with some solid local thespian support, this is an enjoyable and unpretentious film which contains some cracking Allen gags along the way. The Scoop of the title is a tip-off that journalist Scarlett Johansson receives from the ghost of a dead hack about the possible identity of a serial killer, which she then pursues with the help of stage magician Allen. A couple of scenes fall a little flat, as do a couple of Allen's one-liners, but there are plenty of good ones to make up for it. Of course, it's a must for Allen fans, but others may be pleasantly surprised.
PS I would ideally rate this at 3.5 stars, but as this is not possible I've upped it to 4 rather than underrating it.

Summary: 4 Stars
Scoop is typical woody allen fun, hilarious, charming, nostolgic.. Although watching woody's movies is often like experiencing deja vu, what great artist isn't guilty of repetition, we are always glad to return to the comfortable world of intelligent wit and homage to cinema that he has created over the years..
scoop is, if i am not mistaken, woody's second film to take place in great britain - along with the equally charming 'match point'. Allen's comedy translates, surprisingly, well to the city of london..
while we may yawn at the reccurence of themes in his movies and his occasional self-indulgence- as usual he is pitch perfect in his delivery.
Movie Review: enjoy it as the light-hearted, fun film that it is...
Summary: 4 Stars
Aware that this movie didn't receive stellar reviews, I watched it with the expectation that it would be mediocre at best. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find a refreshing, light-hearted, fun movie, well worth watching. My friend and I laughed continuously at Woody Allen's portrayal of the crackpot magician Splendini, turned oil-tycoon and father figure to Johansson's Sondra, a young, ambitious college reporter. Throw in hunky Hugh Jackman as a mysterious, charming man of privilege, who is quite possibly the tarot card killer wreaking havoc on London's brunette prostitutes, and you have an entertaining evening ahead...
