Diagonaldi Very well executed

Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

tbills2 Wow, Scarlett Johansson is so beautiful. I love her attempt at Woody-type shtick, even though she may be too young to totally understand the gimmick, or the art I should say, Scarlett really goes for it and she's so cute doing it. So, so cute...I love Scarlett Johansson. I hardly notice Woody when I watch Scoop. I hear him. Hugh Jackman's very nice and he gives a convincing portrayal as the killer. Scoop has the right idea, with its...God, I love Scarlett in glasses! When she removes her glasses, then disrobes into her red swimsuit and dips in the pool with Hugh then pretends to drown then Hugh rescues her pulling her to the poolside then Scarlett thanks Hugh and apologizes then she EMERGES OUT OF THE POOL LIKE A GLISTENING VOLUPTUOUSLY BOSOMED AND BODIED AQUATIC GODDESS!! then Scarlett stretches out her crampy leg and introduces herself to Hugh, she's...uhhhhhh...what...Scarlett.........incredibly sensually pleasurable on a level that I did not understand until I watched it so closely just now. This is like Scarlett's hottest scene, omgoodness. Scarlett is the dream girl. Nice work, Woody, I totally love Miss Johansson and care about her character in this delightfully energetic whimsical tale with its twist and wonderful familiar score. Trust me, this is a really good film. Scarlett's lovely in Scoop really.

alexdeleonfilm An American journalism student in London (Scarlett Jo) gets the scoop on a big story, and begins an affair with an English aristocrat who just may be a serial killer Director: Woody Allen Writer: Woody Allen image1.jpegWoody's 2005 followup to last year's Xlnt Match Point Just came from seeing the latest Woody Allen-Scarlett Jo collaboration, "SCOOP". Well, he musta scooped this one up from the bottom of the barrel. Light fare, to say the least -- lighter than air on a Sunday afternoon in the Arizona desert. Scarlet --well, yeah --she's easy to look at, but she better look beyond Allen if she wants to get serious about her career. Jack Hughsome --or wuzzit Hugh Jackoff -- Good looking Aussie chap, but little or no screen charisma -- Woody obviously threw this plot together just so he could spend more time following Johansson's lovely little rump around the set for a few weeks. Supposedly a comedy, but I didn't find it very funny, and, except for the one scene with Scarlett in a skin-tight one-piece bathing suit emerging from a swimming pool -- pretty boring -- but, okay -- she's easy on the eyes. The film was so flimsy it was like Chinese takeout in the Jewish neighborhood -- fills you up for five minutes, then you're hungry again -- I actually felt so unsatisfied that I wanted to stay and see a real movie right afterward, but it was too late --as the Pushkin Theater was letting out for the night.

jahan_tanu what would you do if you know u r falling in love with a murderer despite the fact that YOU already knew or u r suspecting?hahaha scary isn't it but kinda fun though....yes woody Allen has done this movie beautifully as he always does....he mixed mystery and thriller with romance and drama and comedy of course.he is quite successful to hold his audience stick to the end of the movie... i m a big fan of woody Allen...so i always love watching his movies...this movie is no exception...he presented mystery with completely a different perspective....i hope everybody would love this movie....& no wonder Scarlett is as always a charmer so she let this movie more interesting to watch.... but sadly didn't find Hugh jackman so spontaneous in this movie as the way he basically is....maybe he didn't have so much to do in this movie....but overall its a complete entertainment....worth my time

Alex Deleon Viewed at Puskin Theater, Budapest, December 7, 2006 ~~ Let's remember Pearls Harbor as we did the Alamo ...Just came from seeing the latest Woody Allen-Scarlett Jo collaboration, "SCOOP". and, -- Well, Woody musta scooped this one up from the bottom of the barrel.

Allen was obviously shooting for a Double Double by shooting another one with Scarlett in London but this was truly a sloppy second --- maybe try Nottingham next, with Scarlett as Robin Hood's love interest. ...
