warn . this review will reveal the end of the movie and scoop . if you do not want to know how the movie end and do not read this review . scoop be so bad you will think annie hall be a fluke . it get one star because you get to see hugh jackman naked chest . that the only thing scoop have go for it . woody allen misogyny and and his fixation on woman young enough and at this point and to be his granddaughter and have cripple any ability to make movie he may have have at any point . the plot seem promising represent a ghost and ian mcshane and direct a fluffy head student and scarlett johansson and to investigate whether or not an english lord and hugh jackman and be the notorious tarot card killer of prostitute . a magician and woody allen and help the girl . promising plot notwithstanding and the movie completely lack charm and or humor and or atmosphere . it an amazingly leaden and amateurish effort for someone who have make even one previous film and never mind dozen . perhaps allen have have a stroke that have go unreported in the press . much be make of the fact that unlike in his previous film and woody allen and now a septuagenarian and have finally allow a young male lead to get the girl . not so . in fact and the plot be construct in such a way so that the girl get no one . there be an early scene where johansson and for no reason central to the movie and allow herself to be get drunk and and seduce and by a powerful and old director . seduce be a euphemism for what happen . it a slam and bam and i have get ta go kind of moment . it bear no relation to the plot whatsoever and and it cheapen johansson in the viewer eye . why do allen add that unnecessary scene to the movie . because it show a powerful director like allen have sex with the female lead . allen get to have his cake and eat it and too . johansson be not yet an actress . she doesn not know how to command the screen except by wear a tight and low cut top . she imitate allen in a couple of scene and and that just look weird and sad . it doesn not help that her character be script a a doll who can not function without a ghost and or an elderly and less than awe inspire magician and tell her what to do at every turn . she be approximately half jackman age and and she come across a a very vapid screen presence in their scene together . audience member not obsess with breast deserve well in their heroine and and jackman deserves well and too a script that give the heroine some intelligence and agency and and an actress who can convey those quality . hugh jackman be similarly cheat by the script . allen apparently can not stand it that jackman be so stunningly good look and young and and so he give jackman nothing to say or do . like johansson and he be use merely for his good look . this be a shame and because and a jackman have show in any number of production and from oklahoma to x men and he can act . here the big plot twist jackman and suave and charm english lord and really be a killer . so and though the movie say it be all about let someone else and other than allen and get the girl and she doesn not get anyone . jackman and the man she be make love to and be a man who murder a prostitute . nice and woody . nice way to punish your heroine for be beyond your grasp . in a passive aggressive touch and allen deprives his heroine of his own presence and as well and kill off his character and the magician and leave scarlett johansson all alone at the end of the film . a final note represent at my screening and not a single audience member laugh at any point during the film . always a bad sign when a film be advertise a a comedy .
