Wow, Scarlett Johansson is so beautiful. I love her attempt at Woody-type shtick, even though she may be too young to totally understand the gimmick, or the art I should say, Scarlett really goes for it and she's so cute doing it. So, so cute...I love Scarlett Johansson. I hardly notice Woody when I watch Scoop. I hear him. Hugh Jackman's very nice and he gives a convincing portrayal as the killer. Scoop has the right idea, with its...God, I love Scarlett in glasses! When she removes her glasses, then disrobes into her red swimsuit and dips in the pool with Hugh then pretends to drown then Hugh rescues her pulling her to the poolside then Scarlett thanks Hugh and apologizes then she EMERGES OUT OF THE POOL LIKE A GLISTENING VOLUPTUOUSLY BOSOMED AND BODIED AQUATIC GODDESS!! then Scarlett stretches out her crampy leg and introduces herself to Hugh, she's...uhhhhhh...what...Scarlett.........incredibly sensually pleasurable on a level that I did not understand until I watched it so closely just now. This is like Scarlett's hottest scene, omgoodness. Scarlett is the dream girl. Nice work, Woody, I totally love Miss Johansson and care about her character in this delightfully energetic whimsical tale with its twist and wonderful familiar score. Trust me, this is a really good film. Scarlett's lovely in Scoop really.

what would you do if you know u r falling in love with a murderer despite the fact that YOU already knew or u r suspecting?hahaha scary isn't it but kinda fun though....yes woody Allen has done this movie beautifully as he always does....he mixed mystery and thriller with romance and drama and comedy of course.he is quite successful to hold his audience stick to the end of the movie... i m a big fan of woody Allen...so i always love watching his movies...this movie is no exception...he presented mystery with completely a different perspective....i hope everybody would love this movie....& no wonder Scarlett is as always a charmer so she let this movie more interesting to watch.... but sadly didn't find Hugh jackman so spontaneous in this movie as the way he basically is....maybe he didn't have so much to do in this movie....but overall its a complete entertainment....worth my time

Given the steady output of movies we might as well forgive Woody Allen for making some that are sub-par. Given the rumors that circulated during filming of Match Point and Scoop about the romantic relationship between himself and Scarlett Johansson i'm even more inclined to forgive him.Jokes apart, Scoop is not a bad movie yet offers nothing new or exceptionally good. It seems to be built upon the leftovers of Match Point and the desire to film scantly clad Scarlett Johansson.As it usually is the case, if you like Woody Allen's movies, you'd probably like this one. Otherwise, this is the movie that you can pass on without guilty conscience.

Plot: An American journalism student in London scoops a big story, and begins an affair with an aristocrat as the incident unfurls.This is easily Woody Allen's worst film. The story is beyond contrived, full of plot holes, and is very jumbled. Every actor is wasted whether it's Hugh Jackman, Scarlett Johansson, or Ian McShane are all given nothing roles with bland and uninteresting characters that don't showcase the range that each actor has. Woody Allen himself is not funny in the least bit, I'll never understand why people think that he's a good actor but that's just me. As a mystery, it is not remotely interesting unlike Manhattan Murder Mystery which did have an interesting murder mystery plot that you could follow.This film is lazy, uninspired garbage that you should stay away from at all costs. Go watch Allen's two other mystery films Crimes and Misdemeanors and the one mentioned above, they are easily his 2 best films that put an emphasis on this genre and blends comedy and drama very well. Go rent those instead, you will not regret it.
