The big scoop on Scoop is that there really isn't one.

| Nov 2, 2018

The film is essentially a piece of nostalgia, but it swings along with an insouciance we haven't had from him in a long time.

| Nov 2, 2018

Scoop is lesser Woody Allen, not as good as Manhattan Murder Mystery but fun, with some amusing bits about England, death, magic and journalism.

| Nov 2, 2018

It's funny enough to keep you from cringing, but not nearly as good as Match Point. Of course, Match Point wasn't trying to be funny either. So proceed with caution.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 2, 2018

Scoop is classic Allen -- light comedy with a murder mystery plot, supernatural themes and enough jokes about sex, death, psychoanalysis and philosophy to keep fans happy.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 2, 2018

An affable (if forgettable) Woody Allen comedy...

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 19, 2016

Last year's Match Point marked a surprising return to vital filmmaking form for Woody Allen, but that movie had the distinct advantage of not being a comedy.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 5, 2015

Scoop is reminiscent of several of Woody Allen's films, but in a strange way, it harks back to films that were neither great nor lousy -- and like those films, it is an enjoyable diversion.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 5, 2015

Another comic murder mystery from Woody Allen.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 17, 2010

A genteel burp of a comedy

| Aug 30, 2009

Probably one of the most annoying Woody Allen movies I've ever seen.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 7, 2008

Woody Allen reprises his Alvy Singer shtick in a pastiche of 50s screwball that is deeply unfunny.

| Sep 1, 2007

The initial novelty of seeing and hearing Johansson put on an Allen avatar geek persona in her first scene can't carry the film.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 26, 2007

Después de Match Point (su mejor película de los últimos años), Woody Allen regresa a un cine menor, olvidable, sin mayores pretenciones que divertir durante un rato.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 9, 2007

Sempre há a possibilidade de que o próximo trabalho de Woody Allen seja um Match Point, um Desconstruindo Harry ou um Todos Dizem Eu Te Amo. O problema é que também há boas chances de que seja um novo Scoop.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 13, 2007

Alarmingly, some of Woody Allen's highly strung performance enhancing gestures rub off on Scarlett Johansson in this bizarre misfire from Allen, who hasn't even noticed that his plot doesn't hold water.

| Mar 9, 2007

The plot fizzles even as the jokes sizzle.

| Mar 1, 2007

Everything is a dreadful bore, a woeful misstep, or both.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 30, 2006

What was surprising, however, was how sloppily it had been put together and how many holes there were in the story.

| Original Score: C | Nov 29, 2006
