The writing for Scorpion is not as sharp as Woody Allen's previous movies as most of the jokes fall flat. Read critic reviews

Jun 15, 2020Woody Allen created two films of similar style with The Curse of the Jade Scorpion and Small Time Crooks. I often refer to them as the one-two punch of easy going Woody Allen films. They aren't classics and they aren't perfect but you can watch and see the talented filmmaker at work. The biggest issue with the film is the lack of purpose for the film. Woody Allen pumps out so many films it must be hard to maintain interest with the overall arc. The film has great actors and they aren't the problem, it's the lack of plot development. Woody Allen himself isn't great in the lead and the story backs him into a corner. The Curse of the Jade Scorpion won't win new fans but for us fans it's still a good night out. I had hoped this might've improved with age but sadly not. Just an average Woody Allen film, that could've been great had the filmmaker fleshed out the storyline more. 13/06/2020Brendan O Super Reviewer

Oct 29, 2011This may not be the best Woody Allen, but I enjoyed this romantic comedy set in 1940. The burnished colours and the styling of the female leads are terrific. A pleasure to look at. I would have liked CW not to fall short to Betty Ann--he should be infallible, wittier than she. Falls a bit short.Juli R Super Reviewer
