Review of Scoop (2006) by Spangle — 20 May 2016
Scoop got mixed reviews upon its release in 2006, but I absolutely adored the film. Scarlett Johansson, Hugh Jackman, and Woody Allen, are great in this crime comedy film that has a smart, well-written script.
While the film can be subtly sexist at times, it outweighs this with a truly hysterical script that features perfect comedic delivery from Woody Allen here. If you do not like his comedic style, Scoop will not be the film for you, but I find Woody Allen hysterical and Scoop is no exception.
The comedy here is A+ and the mystery/romance element live up to that standard with a solid romance story and a captivating mystery that keeps you guessing from beginning to end as to how it will all turn out.
Though many considered Scoop to be one of Woody Allen's misses, I absolutely loved it and found it to be an absolute riot.
