| The Citizen Annette Bayne  Scoop is lighted-hearted and funny and will charm audiences with its clever dialogue and slightly off-the-wall plot. | 16 |  |
| 24.com Megan Kakora Woody Allen doesn't take himself too seriously in this romantic comedy/murder mystery, and neither should you. Enjoy it for its charm rather than highbrow humour. | 10 | |
| ReelViews James Berardinelli A blend of lackluster comedy and lazy plotting, the film feels a lot like bad Hitchcock. | 10 | |
| Rolling Stone Peter Travers Scoop is no more than a beguiling trifle. But in the dog days of summer, it's a perk to wallow in inspired silliness. | 15 | |
