Critic Reviews

  • Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

    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.

  • Andrew Sarris, New York Observer

    Woody -- enough with the one-liners.

  • Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal

    It's full of funny lines and clever inventions.

  • Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

    Scoop. It's a tired, thin, almost laughless reminder of the earlier Allen.

  • Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

    Scoop is no more than a beguiling trifle. But in the dog days of summer, it's a perk to wallow in inspired silliness.

    I really was not impressed with this at all. The only good thing about this is Hugh Jackman and Scarlett Johansson. Sadly, their presence is squandered by the dimming star known as Woody Allen. He hogs the screen every chance he gets with a character that no one cares about. Had this… More

    Wonderfully Woody Allen, this film just doesn't get as much credit as it deserves. It's well thought out and diabolically funny, with hints of Johansson charm and Allen comedy fit to burst.
