i be a huge woody allen fan and so when i saw that this be play at the cinema i couldn not help myself . i want to see how allen would follow up his magnificent film match point see a this be another one of his film shoot in g. b . ( which be unique among allen work ) along with what seem to be his new muse scarlett johanson . scoop be much light than mp and the humor be scoop most enjoyable aspect . the plot revolve around johanson character ( a journalism student ) who get a tip on a hot story from beyond the grave . she fall in love with a suspected serial killer ( jackman ) and she must decide whether the truth be worth find . oh and all of this be do with the help of a bumbling magician turn detective play by allen . i must say that i thoroughly enjoy johanson performance but i be a bit bias and i could watch a three hour film with johanson in ever frame and remain enchanted . she play a ditsy and yappy and bumble sweetheart that be kind of a variation in a sense of allen stereotypical neurosis stricken character . she add appropriate body language for comic effect . needless to say almost anyone who see this will find johanson character sickeningly cute and that be a plus . allen be allen . he be still play the same character much like chaplin and his little tramp character . something that occur in this film make me wonder if i will see the neurotic little hypochondriac again however . he be not in the cast of his next picture and have be spend more time exclusively behind the camera a of late . jackman be also enjoyable a the suave and millionaire murder suspect . i can not say that jackman do anything in particular to make the role his but he suit his character none the less . in term of the plot i can not help but feel that this be fresh . in fact it stink of curse of the jade scorpion . johanson and allen be more detective like than anything . however i must applaud allen on his end because it be a bit more clever than your typical unoutstanding hollywood version of this film . instead of everything be black and white and thing be paint in shade of gray . be entirely innocent have nothing to do with it nor do unequivocal guilt . though the plot seem old woody still have a knack for one liner . i do find his allusion to his last film interest . come for the humor and laugh and be merry . needless to say if you enjoy allen work watch it . if not watch something else .
