Featured review
Scarlett Johansson is way too hot to be Woody
Sondra Pransky (Scarlett Johansson) is an American journalism student. She gets pulled on stage to assist magician Sidney Waterman (Woody Allen). Only she gets the scoop of a lifetime from the newly dead Joe Strombel (Ian McShane) who escaped to tell her that wealthy Peter Lyman (Hugh Jackman) is the infamous Tarot Killer.
Here's the thing. Johansson is way too hot. All the hem hawing and Woody Allen impersonation can't make her funny. The best that can be achieved with those glasses is super cuteness. She's no Sarah Silverman. And that's what's needed here. Johansson can keep up with Woody but she doesn't excel. This is a cute little Woody Allen movie. Having said this, who can say no to the super hot Johansson. Seeing Johansson mimic Woody in exchanges with Woody has it's own surreal appeal.
