Review of Scoop (2006) by Sergio G — 28 Nov 2009
Great Woody Allen movie. I have always like him but his move to England to make movies has really improved his plot and style of movies!! He has found a new star in Scarlett Johansson and she has been in his latest 3 movies.
Its kind of English murder mystery with the leads provided to Johansson (the journalist) by a Dead journalist (Ian McShane) Woody Allen is the comic magician. Hugh Jackson the upper crust British possible serial killer.
This movie IS NOT a silly distracting failure but a very cute funny intellectual comedy set in the social setting of the British Upper Crust!! Woody Allen has written and directed (by himself) 40 films why are we not celebrating his success in movie making and directing!! This film is much better than Match Point.
"Scoop" wasn't as bad as critics made it out to be... it was, as many Allen films are, a somewhat of gimmicky plot which end the end floated into into the usual Allen comedy. The movie ended nicely with a comic ending.
(which was very good!!) recommended 4 stars. Watch this movie Enjoy!! I have changed my mind I think Match Point is better than Scoop. I enjoyed them both.
