(1 - 30) of 30 OFCS Rating: 56% Rotten Page   1   "¡La Maldición del Escorpión de Jade es una delicia venenosa e hipnótica!"   Cinenganos   Alex Ramirez 3/5 "An oddity... stilted."   Filmcritic.com   Christopher Null "In his latest film, Woody Allen moves in slow motion. Actually, the whole of The Curse of the Jade Scorpion appears to be creaking and shuffling, like it's been made by zombies."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs B- "A pleasant film that is not all that good as far as the crime caper story goes, but still is endearing."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 2/4 "Woody Allen's weakest [film] since 1992's "Shadows and Fog.""   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman C+ "So limp and weak it practically evaporates on the screen."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 1/4 "The real curse may actually be sitting through this movie"   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress B- "The formula is appealingly simple, and Allen's ear for distinctive old-codger dialogue and his equally distinctive acting let him emerge from his meandering scripts unharmed."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov C "It's a frail, anemic trifle, a five-minute sketch inexcusably drawn out to well over an hour and a half."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2/4 "This movie is supposed to be a lot funnier than it actually is."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli "A pleasant enough diversion that offers a fun twist on the old noir gumshoe film, but doesn't take that far enough to come off as grand entertainment."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 7/10 "A great looking picture with a nice jazzy score, some funny one-liners, a decent plotline and some solid acting all around."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo "Even with the occasional clunker, "Curse of the Jade Scorpion" is still smarter than most of what is currently playing in theaters."   Light Views   John Larsen "Woody's direction is typically strong. It's just a shame his script wasn't."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick B "some of the sassiest insults ever to be volleyed in a battle of the sexes"   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 3/4 "The Curse of the Jade Scorpion is everything you'd expect from Woody Allen -- funny lines, stars galore, jazzy music, and gratuitously good cinematography."   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes "Curse of the Jade Scorpion seems to be little more than him trying to work out whether all those women would still find him attractive without fame, money, talent, or indeed any discernible appealing factor whatsoever."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3.5/4 "The Curse of the Jade Scorpion is a pure joy to watch. It's one of Allen's best films."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan 4/5 "Woody Allen pays loving tribute to movies like Double Indemnity and The Big Sleep with this delicious comedy for grown-ups."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 2.5/4 "It is so insubstantial and comically weak that it barely tickles the laugh meter. It does provide a number of smiles, however."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten B- "...reps a partial return to Woody's old style."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 1.5/5 "Here's a film that simply reeks of contractual obligations and a screenplay yanked out of someone's attic."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg "A cierta altura es imposible no sentir que la broma se alarga, aún a pesar de las palabras, los personajes o el elenco."   Uruguay Total   Enrique Buchichio "Using formulaic devices, Allen mixes screwball farce with muddled melodrama in this nostalgic, if predictable, comedy."   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger B Read review   Modamag.com   Brian Orndorf 2/4 Read review   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito 4/10 Read review   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R.
