Is it possible than movie critics did not appreciate Scarlet Johansson in a comedic role? She actually pulled it off nicely as Sondra, a dimwit blonde student in London who gets involved in a serial killer case.
Helping Sondra in her investigation is the equally not-smart Allen himself, in the role of Sid Waterman, a second rate magician touring the UK.
Sid and Sondra are terrible at investigating and will end up in trouble. Even if Sid is a bit too garrulous, the story flows nicely and it is an enjoyable comedy not to be taken too seriously.
