I guess if you’re gonna do a throwaway role, it might as well be in a throwaway movie. I guess he wanted to be in a Woody Allen movie and “Scoop” worked into his schedule, but it sure is bizarre to randomly see a legendary TV actor in a throwaway role. Truth be told, I was a little distracted in the climactic scene by the appearance of “Buffy’s” Anthony Stewart Head in a minor role as a police detective. When it’s revealed, it’s tame, lacking a twist that would’ve bumped “Scoop” up a notch. The mystery keeps our attention by the simple fact that we don’t know the outcome. “Scoop” lacks a polished screenplay I bet Allen spent half as much time on this as on “Match Point.” It’s a testament to the charms of Jackman and Johansson that the film is so watchable. ![]() ![]() A Sondra type would be done better in 2019’s “A Rainy Day in New York.” There, Allen leans into the idea with Elle Fanning as an enthusiastic college reporter who doesn’t know she’s short on skills but high on appeal to men.Ī better dive into the world of illusionists comes in 2014’s “Magic in the Moonlight.” The charming would-be serial killer has been done better many times.Īll 24 Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, ranked The stakes aren’t as serious as they’d be in reality, but “Scoop” doesn’t embrace its own invitation into farcical territory.Īllen is workshopping ideas, whether he knows it or not.

All of Splendini’s tricks are impossible, but since it’s a movie, they’re made to look real. The humor is sparse, with a few good one-liners and a broad parody of magic. Allen, doing a Kreskin impression, tries to create a character through stuttering, but he might’ve been better off playing a straight Allen role. The Aussie Jackman does OK with a high-class British accent. Johansson shows versatility after her sexpot role in “Match Point.” Here, she’s mousy with her glasses and ponytail, although Peter sees through that, and “Scoop” understands the audience does too. As they find a series of circumstantial clues, Sondra thinks Peter is innocent Sid thinks he’s a serial killer.
