What to Know

Critics Consensus

Rehashing old plot lines and characters, Scoop is a tiresome dipper and another disappointing addition to Woody Allen's repertoire.

Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald 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 Full Review 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. Oct 7, 2006 Full Review Andrew Sarris Observer Woody -- enough with the one-liners. Aug 9, 2006 Full Review Brent Simon Shared Darkness The big scoop on Scoop is that there really isn't one. Nov 2, 2018 Full Review Barbara Vancheri Pittsburgh Post-Gazette 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 Full Review Dave White Movies.com 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. Rated: 3.5/5 Nov 2, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/17/24 Full Review Ewan S Desperately bad story... usually excellent actors all acting badly...I think it's time for Woody Allen to STOP... his role was totally overblown and I feel I've just wasted an hour and a half. Thank god it was free Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/01/24 Full Review Dinos K A perfect movie by a perfect director. I LOVE WOODY ALLEN!!!!!!!! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/24 Full Review Alec B Occasionally it is an amusing throwback to certain comedies from the 30s and 40s, but without nearly enough witty banter. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/10/24 Full Review Read all reviews
