Scoop Ratings & Reviews
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
Nestled as it is amid the clamor of the late-summer blockbusters, it's the kind of small pleasure that can make you feel intensely grateful.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
Woody -- enough with the one-liners.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
It's full of funny lines and clever inventions.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Scoop is no more than a beguiling trifle. But in the dog days of summer, it's a perk to wallow in inspired silliness.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Scoop has something Match Point didn't, something that none of Allen's films have had to quite this degree in 10 years. It's really, really funny.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
A bouncy comedy/mystery about a young would-be journalist (Scarlett Johansson) trying to solve a crime.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
Scoop is worthwhile viewing for Allen's quips. Just don't expect much of a story.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Scoop, a half-baked amalgam of Manhattan Murder Mystery and Curse of the Jade Scorpion -- sadly demonstrates that Allen has lost much of his comic timing both as a director and an actor.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
To see Allen, now 70, trying to reclaim the persona he's been handing off is like watching Willie Mays fall down trying to hit a curve ball during his last season.
Los Angeles Times
Carina Chocano
Scoop feels like a tentative doodle in the general direction of Match Point, only chronologically reversed and more or less amusing.
Houston Chronicle
Bruce Westbrook
Scoop, an amiable romp of lighthearted fun.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
It's thin, not really even worth the 90-plus minutes it takes to get from start to finish, but right from the get-go Scoop made me giggle, and I didn't stop until I'd gotten a good five or six steps away from my front door.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Things don't really get ugly in Scoop, they just feel very familiar very quickly, which doesn't mean it's necessarily bad, just awfully lightweight and terribly unoriginal.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
A romp of a thing, Scoop won't be mistaken for splendid. Yet for diminutive pleasure, the murder- mystery comedy can rightly be called splendini.
RogerEbert.com
Jim Emerson
Scoop feels like the leftovers from that [Manhattan Murder Mystery], after they've been strained through The Curse of the Jade Scorpion.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
One form of low-rent showbiz Allen depicts in Scoop is Fleet Street journalism, but it's depicted with none of the witty rancor or intelligence of Evelyn Waugh's 1937 Scoop.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
It saddens me to report -- Scoop is distinctly minor Allen, with less weight to it than one of his old humor doodles in The New Yorker.
Zap2it.com
Daniel Fienberg
Scoop is surely a slight and flimsy film, but it's pleasant to watch Woody Allen wander around London and to watch Allen's new favorite leading lady expand her range.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Like the character he plays, Allen's shtick has worn out its welcome.
Arizona Republic
Bill Muller
It's a pleasing blend of Abbott and Costello and Foul Play, tickling the audience in all the right spots.
