Critics Consensus: The writing for Scorpion is not as sharp as Woody Allen's previous movies as most of the jokes fall flat.

The movie has an odd feeling, both lush and listless. It's enough to make us believe Allen's comic batteries need recharging.
The romance between C.W. and Betty Ann doesn't have much ardor, repressed or otherwise.
Mid-level, pretty-but-not- hugely-funny Allen film.
It's evidently important to Allen to work, work, work, but he's starting to make his movies by rote instead of passion.
[Allen's] let his guard down and has allowed himself and his audience to relax -- something that doesn't often happen when the specters of class and European art hover over his pictures.
Despite an appealing, even ingenious premise, Scorpion is another quippy but uninspired comedy.
Older kids may like this Woody Allen comedy.
Like a Swiss clock, Allen is the only American director who makes a film every year, but chronic fatigue and lack of inspiration seem to have taken over his work, as this retro comedy, using the old conceit of hypnosis, shows.
Woody Allen cooks up an easy-going little swindle comedy, not too far off from his last film Small Time Crooks.
Diálogos sem graça em um filme sem ritmo. Um dos mais fracos do diretor.
A little Woody goes a long way. His cloying nebbishness gets old quickly, though he does have a singular wit and some kind of indefinable charm.
'The old joke of Woody as irresistible romantic lead has gone from funny, to discomforting, to pitiable.'
Bad story and abysmal chemistry curse this luster-less dog.
Super Reviewer
Despite Woody reportedly having hated this film, I actually kinda liked it. It's entertaining enough, witty enough, jazzy enough, and fun enough to merit a second watch. Even though Woody and Helen Hunt have absolutely zero chemistry together. The ending was quite fun.
Woody Allen's visit to the detective movies of the 30s is full of hilarious and witty dialoges. Especially how his own insurance investigator character battles Helen Hunt's with words and her responses alone are pleasure to watch. The main idea of people committing robberies under hypnosis is really fun and Allen manages to entertain in every minute, also thanks to a cast of really good names. The movie is breathing nostalgia for those old days in every minute, it doesn't even try to be more than that. Some might find that unexciting and the lack of a showdown actually is. The humor more than makes up for it. Still fun for as long as it lasts.
Fun and refreshing with so many cute & smart lines, The ending is terrible though
