Reviews:

Worthy addition to Woody Allen’s filmography
I was lucky enough to get a free pass to an advance screening of ‘Scoop’ last night. Full house at the theatre and when the movie ended there was spontaneous applause. I didn’t speak to anyone who disliked ‘Scoop’ although two teenagers sitting next to me sighed and fidgeted uncomfortably for most of the film. They were the exception though because everyone else including myself really enjoyed themselves.

‘Scoop’ is a quickly paced murder mystery. A young female journalism student is unwittingly maneuvered by forces beyond her control into trying to catch a serial killer on the loose. Plenty of hijinks ensue as she partners up with a traveling illusionist and falls in love with a frisky and charming young nobleman.

‘Scoop’ isn’t a bad addition to the Woody Allen filmography. It isn’t his best work but it is a very enjoyable and light hearted romp. I’d say it fits quite comfortably into being an average Woody Allen film, right in the middle of the pack. If you’re a Woody Allen fan you’ll probably enjoy yourself. If you’re indifferent to his work then ‘Scoop’ might be enough to get you interested in seeing more. I don’t think that anyone who dislikes his style of film-making and acting are going to change their mind. Woody plays the same kind of neurotic character we’ve grown so accustomed to although it borders dangerously close to forced and over the top in this film. While potentially aggravating for some who might find themselves wishing he’d hurry up and just spit out the words, Woody Allen fans know what to expect.

Very good performances all around in my opinion although I found myself missing Ian McShane who is excellent and not on camera nearly enough. Hugh Jackman is great as the charming nobleman and I think Woody Allen has found a new regular star to work with in Scarlett Johansson. I think that with ‘Match Point’ this is their second pairing and she’s just magic with the material that Woody gives her. Could be the beginning of a beautiful relationship! I’m glad I saw the movie and definitely recommend it. More sophisticated comedy than movies like ‘Scary Movie 4’ so if your brand of comedy is the latter rather than the former, ‘Scoop’ probably isn’t for you. If, on the other hand, you like a touch of class, sophistication and fun, ‘Scoop’ is for you. Probably not the Woody Allen film I’d introduce to a newcomer but all others should give it a try.

A dash of light entertainment
“Scoop” is also the name of a late-Thirties Evelyn Waugh novel, and Woody Allen’s new movie, though set today, has a nostalgic charm and simplicity. It hasn’t the depth of characterization, intense performances, suspense or shocking final frisson of Allen’s penultimate effort “Match Point,” (argued by many, including this reviewer, to be a strong return to form) but “Scoop” does closely resemble Allen’s last outing in its focus on English aristocrats, posh London flats, murder, and detection. This time Woody leaves behind the arriviste murder mystery genre and returns to comedy, and is himself back on the screen as an amiable vaudevillian, a magician called Sid Waterman, stage moniker The Great Splendini, who counters some snobs’ probing with, “I used to be of the Hebrew persuasion, but as I got older, I converted to narcissism.” Following a revelation in the midst of Splendini’s standard dematerializing act, with Scarlett Johansson (as Sondra Pransky) the audience volunteer, the mismatched pair get drawn into a dead ace English journalist’s post-mortem attempt to score one last top news story. On the edge of the Styx Joe Strombel (Ian McShane) has just met the shade of one Lord Lyman’s son’s secretary, who says she was poisoned, and she’s told him the charming aristocratic bounder son Peter Lyman (Hugh Jackman) was the Tarot Card murderer, a London serial killer. Sondra and Sid immediately become a pair of amateur sleuths. With Sid’s deadpan wit and Sondra’s bumptious beauty they cut a quick swath through to the cream of the London aristocracy.

Woody isn’t pawing his young heroine muse — as in “Match Point,” Johansson again — as in the past. This time moreover Scarlett’s not an ambitious sexpot and would-be movie star. She’s morphed surprisingly into a klutzy, bespectacled but still pretty coed. Sid and Sondra have no flirtation, which is a great relief. They simply team up, more or less politely, to carry out Strombel’s wishes by befriending Lyman and watching him for clues to his guilt. With only minimal protests Sid consents to appear as Sondra’s dad. Sondra, who’s captivated Peter by pretending to drown in his club pool, re-christens herself Jade Spence. Mr. Spence, i.e., Woody, keeps breaking cover by doing card tricks, but he amuses dowagers with these and beats their husbands at poker, spewing non-stop one-liners and all the while maintaining, apparently with success, that he’s in oil and precious metals, just as “Jade” has told him to say.

That’s about all there is to it, or all that can be told without spoiling the story by revealing its outcome. At first Allen’s decision to make Johansson a gauche, naively plainspoken, and badly dressed college girl seems not just unkind but an all-around bad decision. But Johansson, who has pluck and panache as an actress, miraculously manages to carry it off, helped by Jackman, an actor who knows how to make any actress appear desirable, if he desires her. The film actually creates a sense of relationships, to make up for it limited range of characters: Sid and Sondra spar in a friendly way, and Peter and Sondra have a believable attraction even though it’s artificial and tainted (she is, after all, going to bed with a suspected homicidal maniac).

What palls a bit is Allen’s again drooling over English wealth and class, things his Brooklyn background seems to have left him, despite all his celebrity, with a irresistible hankering for. Jackman is an impressive fellow, glamorous and dashing. His parents were English. But could this athletic musical comedy star raised in Australia (“X-Man’s” Wolverine) really pass as an aristocrat? Only in the movies, perhaps (here and in “Kate and Leopold”).

This isn’t as strong a film as “Match Point,” but to say it’s a loser as some viewers have is quite wrong. It has no more depth than a half-hour radio drama or a TV show, but Woody’s jokes are far funnier and more original than you’ll get in any such media affair, and sometimes they show a return to the old wit and cleverness. It doesn’t matter if a movie is silly or slapdash when it’s diverting summer entertainment. On a hot day you don’t want a heavy meal. The whole thing deliciously evokes a time when movie comedies were really light escapist entertainment, without crude jokes or bombastic effects; without Vince Vaughan or Owen Wilson. Critics are eager to tell you this is a return to the Allen decline that preceded “Match Point.” Don’t believe them. He doesn’t try too hard. Why should he? He may be 70, but verbally, he’s still light on his feet. And his body moves pretty fast too.
