| The story alone basis of this film is simple and has been repeated countless times in various forms. However, it is extremely smart and funny script that makes this a very good movie. I recommend it. While not a total departure of Woody, is certainly an enjoyable film that pays tribute to another era of cinema in many ways. |
| Comedy set in 1940 about an insurance investigator (Woody Allen) lock horns with an efficiency expert (Helen Hunt), while a string of robberies of jewelry suspicious happens. Only half Allen comedy ... but that is still 70% better than the typical Hollywood movie. It's fairly well acted ... Allen is, frankly, too old for this (it's 65 and he's doing women in their 20s and 30s? Please!), But gives a good performance; Hunt is simply wonderful ... She looks great in the 40s suits and his verbal sparring with Allen was hilarious; Charlize Theron is fantastic, but it is embarrassingly lost and (in a huge surprise) Elizabeth Berkeley really gives a decent performance midway! The script is fine if a little unbelievable. And the film looks fantastic ... costumes and sets really evoke the 1940s. Therefore, okay, but no great shakes. |
| "The Curse of the Jade Scorpion" is a romantic comedy / crime / mystery set in New York City in the 1940s, implying a love-hate relationship between a veteran insurance investigator CW Briggs (Woody Allen) and its new chief Betty Ann Fitzgerald (Helen Hunt). One night, while watching the show's magician with the rest of the employees, who are both hypnotized by an incident with a hypnotist Jade Scorpion then used in the theft of jewelry, unknowingly to him. Was this comedy written and directed by someone else who has been a disaster, but Allen with his touch of magic, has produced a witty and charming delight. That is what my husband called him after we enjoyed together and I can not agree more. I love the music of Ellington, around the 40th establishment, and a line of Woody. His face in the scene where he and Helen Hunt were hypnotized is simply hilarious - the kind you know how to do physical comedy to perfection. I do not care if this image has been called "a minor Allen of the film - is still much better than most comedies coming out each year. Even "minor Allen" is enjoyable and memorable. |
| The Curse of the Jade Scorpion is worth hearing if you enjoy Woody Allen work, but it's best to do movies. The romance is not very credible in the present, but the characters are well developed. This film has a good premise involving stolen jewels, 1940 of gender roles, and hypnosis. The absence of surprising twists that could deal with in a movie about a man investigating a theft of jewels, the script even resolves its subplots in a way that viewers might guess. This film also does not generate as many laughs as Woody better job. Woody has some good lines, but that's all. Helen Hunt has a good job of playing Woody nemesis of the workplace. However, several of his scenes with his late Woody saying how the dreams of his death. (Example: "Try not to suffer a massive coronary at his way home.") This string of jokes is real old real fast. However, none of the film really drags. The plot moves at a good pace, and seeing things develop is welcome. The story is simple, but it works. And this movie is more creative than the average movie that became a reality in the 1940s. And I like the way the script briefly reviewed the roles of women in the 1940s in light of an appreciation for modern (and understanding) women. In conclusion, this movie is worth seeing if you've found Woody's Greatest Hits. |
| If this movie had released 20 years ago, it would probably deserves a higher rating. What you get to see this is a well-produced, well written, though very little original film carries the most part by Woody Allen and his dialogue, not to mention the rest of the cast. Problem is that it is actually not the original that was mentioned earlier, and that ll be quite familiar with everything that happens during the movie. The only difference would be funny some circumstances. The end is rather anticlimactic and very disappointing that the villain falls so easily without him or the police doing nothing at all. This film is perhaps worth seeing once on television but I'm not too sure whether to spend money on it in the movies. |
| The most remarkable aspect of this movie is the enormous audience that you can enjoy it. People of different ages and cultural backgrounds will have a good time watching it. Even people who normally do not like Woody Allen will enjoy also, because of the optimistic comedy style in which the film is based. Fun and upbeat. |
