In the funeral of the famous British journalist Joe Strombel (Ian McShane), his colleagues and friends recall how obstinate he was while seeking a scoop. Meanwhile, the deceased Joe discloses the identity of the tarot card serial killer of London. He cheats Death (Pete Mastin) and appears to the American student of journalism Sondra Pransky (Scarlett Johansson), who is on the stage in the middle of a magic show of the magician Sidney Waterman (Woody Allen) in London, and tells her that the murderer is the aristocrat Peter Lyman (Hugh Jackman). Sondra drags Sid in her investigation, seeking for evidence that Peter is the killer. However, she falls in love with him and questions if Joe Strombel is right in his scoop.

| E! OnlinePaul SemelAdd in a couple of classic Allen-esque self-deprecating zingers and you've got yet another good one from Woody and his latest lady. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura Cliffordalthough Allen is mostly repeating himself, his comedy hasn't been this pure and consistent in some time...a thoroughly enjoyable lark |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekA relatively feeble, lackadaisical piece, mildly amusing but far too reminiscent of superior movies [Allen] made years ago and with too many dead spots. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyAs writer, director and actor Allen borrows so liberally from himself that anyone familiar with his movies will experience twinges of déjà vu in nearly every other scene. |
| Arizona RepublicBill MullerIt's a pleasing blend of Abbott and Costello and Foul Play, tickling the audience in all the right spots. |
| Planet Sick-BoyJon PopickStraight comedy is like Kryptonite to Johansson. |
| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonaldA bouncy comedy/mystery about a young would-be journalist (Scarlett Johansson) trying to solve a crime. |
| Lessons of DarknessNick SchagerAppear[s] to have been slapped together without any consideration for jovial, snappy rhythm. |
| Portland OregonianShawn LevyThe film is a pleasure that doesn't rank with Allen's best but satisfies far more than most American comedies. |
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerThe collision of sleek melodrama and old Woody Allen stand-up routines is at times oddly effective and at other times just odd. |
