A light, whimsical comedy …
Woody Allen writes, directs and stars in this amateur mystery/ comedy. He stammers his way through the movie with his typical style of laughs. I’m a big fan of Scarlet Johansson (she is the most beautiful actress in Hollywood – my opinion) and she does the naive, aspiring journalist quite well.
There’s nothing much of substance really to this film, but it enjoyably plods along and ends well. I enjoyed Woody Allen’s previous film ‘Match Point’ more, but this film is still an enjoyable watch (but your partner may not agree!).
Steph’s rating: 7/10 (good, but not great)
IMDB plot review: A student journalist, for a college paper, visiting friends in contemporary London happens upon the scoop of a lifetime. Along the investigative trail, she finds magic, murder, mystery – and perhaps love, with a British aristocrat.

Wow, this DVD was a wonderful surprise!
I was hesitant to get this movie out, knowing that it was written and directed by Woody Allen. However being a fan of Scarlett Johansson, I took a gamble and it paid off big time! I think I was expecting a romantic chick flick, but it turned out to be an intense ‘Fatal Attraction’ movie with suspense and intrigue. I was hooked throughout.
This movie is just fascinating and you just get so drawn into Jonathan Rhys Myers character, superb acting by him. Highly recommend if you looking to enjoy an emotional roller coater of love, obsession and betrayal.
Steph’s rating: 8/10
