I watched
Scoop with my wife and her best friend at home the other weekend. I wasn't expecting much and got less than that. While Hugh Jackman was kind of charming and Miss Scarlett was gorgeous, the whole thing was souless and empty. Woody Allen has missed the mark before, but this was just the work of a man killing time in London, looking for an excuse to spend more time with his current favourite actress.
Match Point was a return to form for Woody Allen. It was well-acted and had thought behind it.
Scoop has neither of those things. There is also no sense of place in this movie. Perhaps Woody Allen should stop trying to entertain himself so much and try entertaining his loyal audience.
