(1 - 34) of 34 OFCS Rating: 29% Rotten Page   1   B "Scoop doesn't exactly set the theater on fire, but it has a balanced rhythm to it that is Allen-reliable and quite comforting."   FilmJerk.com   Brian Orndorf 2.5/5 "If one of the best things one can say about a film is that it's funnier than Curse of the Jade Scorpion, that's not exactly a ringing endorsement."   Filmcritic.com   Chris Barsanti C "As writer, director and actor Allen borrows so liberally from himself that anyone familiar with his movies will experience twinges of déjà vu in nearly every other scene."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey ""I don't like this whole thing," Sondra moans. "I don't like the whole process." That makes two of us. "   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 2/5 "Everything is a dreadful bore, a woeful misstep, or both."   eFilmCritic.com   David Cornelius 2.5/4 "Funnier, less offensive, and certainly better company than 'Harry or 'Aphrodite but Scoop still suffers from an overabundance of tired borscht-belt humor."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   David N. Butterworth C+ "... more silly than funny."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 2.5/4 "Spry, whimsical and frequently laugh-out-loud funny."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman 2/5 "Después de Match Point (su mejor película de los últimos años), Woody Allen regresa a un cine menor, olvidable, sin mayores pretenciones que divertir durante un rato."   Uruguay Total   Enrique Buchichio B+ "Is it a classic? Nah. It's light as air. But it's a zippy good time for 90 minutes or so."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 2/4 "The problem remains, however, that Scoop feels so drawn out and lackadaisical in its bid for self-deprecating Allen-esque bits that wear out its familiar welcome."   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng C "A relatively feeble, lackadaisical piece, mildly amusing but far too reminiscent of superior movies [Allen] made years ago and with too many dead spots."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek "A Woody Allen comedy that is both sophomoric and silly."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 2/4 "A blend of lackluster comedy and lazy plotting, the film feels a lot like bad Hitchcock."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2/4 "The sort of comic frippery that's wearing thin with age and repetition."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 7/10 "Quite unassuming, practically admitting its own disposability, but it's cute and fun while it lasts."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 5/10 "Looks like writer/director Woody Allen is back to his old tricks again, with yet another mediocre comedic offering after he surprised everyone with a solid comeback."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 5/10 "Straight comedy is like Kryptonite to Johansson."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick 1.5/4 "It's tempting, one must admit, to mangle the title of Woody Allen's latest trifle and let it stand as a review. To wit: Pooper Scoop."   Slant Magazine   Keith Uhlich 3/4 "Scarlett's the weak spot but she hardly ruins the movie, which is minor Allen but still very enjoyable."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest B "although Allen is mostly repeating himself, his comedy hasn't been this pure and consistent in some time...a thoroughly enjoyable lark"   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 2/4 "It's the same-old-same-old but with London locations -- painfully stale despite the clever setup."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 2/4 "The initial novelty of seeing and hearing Johansson put on an Allen avatar geek persona in her first scene can't carry the film."   Mr. Brown's Movies   Michael Dequina C "Like the character he plays, Allen's shtick has worn out its welcome."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow C "Appear[s] to have been slapped together without any consideration for jovial, snappy rhythm."   Lessons of Darkness   Nick Schager 1/5 "Sempre há a possibilidade de que o próximo trabalho de Woody Allen seja um Match Point, um Desconstruindo Harry ou um Todos Dizem Eu Te Amo. O problema é que também há boas chances de que seja um novo Scoop."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 1.5/5 "Woody Allen can still be counted on for about a movie a year, but it’s clear he doesn’t put the same amount of effort into each one."   Film Threat   Pete Vonder Haar C "What was surprising, however, was how sloppily it had been put together and how many holes there were in the story."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten 1/4 "Every bit as soggy and silly as "Match Point" was passionate and sharp."   Charlotte Weekly   Sean O'Connell "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."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek 7/10 "Suspenseful and seductive - like a mysteriously delicious ice cream cone that melts in your mind rather than in your mouth."   Modamag.com   Susan Granger 2.5/4 "Currently shooting his third film in England, Allen has seemingly traded his beloved Manhattan for London. But as the appealing yet utterly forgettable Scoop shows, the change of scenery hasn't done wonders for his career."   Reel.com   Timothy Knight 0.5/4 "What's most shocking is that a puff of dust and cobwebs don't erupt from his mouth every time it creaks open to deliver another pun about Trollope/trollop."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf  (1 - 34) of 34 OFCS Rating: 29% Rotten Page   1
