		Apparently he could — "The Curse of the Jade Scorpion" is a good-enough entry in Woody Allen's body of work and an enjoyable return to the stylish comedies of days gone by.
		"Curse of the Jade Scorpion," the latest piece of work from cinematic iron horse Woody Allen, is a dramatic, high, long fly ball that reaches the warning track of excellence, but doesn't quite get over the fence.
		"Curse of the Jade Scorpion" is entertaining, well written, well directed and impeccably executed in a way that only an expert like Allen can master.

	'The Curse of the Jade Scorpion'
		The curse of being Woody Allen is the consistent boogeyman of high expectations, and the movie at hand is a good case in point.
		It's called "The Curse of the Jade Scorpion," and were it made by anyone else, it would be judged "a fine funny film."
		Even so, "The Curse of the Jade Scorpion" is good fun -- as long as you're willing to settle for amusement instead of hilarity.

		In The Curse of the Jade Scorpion, Woody Allen plays CW Briggs, insurance investigator for slipping company Northcoast in early 1940s New York.

	The Curse of the Jade Scorpion (2001): Woody Allen, Dan Aykroyd, Elizabeth Berkley, Helen Hunt - PopMatters Film Review
		Actually, the whole of The Curse of the Jade Scorpion appears to be creaking and shuffling, like it's been made by zombies.
		This may mean that at some point, something else was going on on the set, or maybe it just means that whoever wrote the press notes made good use of the actors' reports on their thinking and watching Double Indemnity as background for their characters.
		The Curse of the Jade Scorpion, like many Allen movies, does not immediately stand out as a particularly progressive text in terms of women's roles.

	Reviews - The Curse Of The Jade Scorpion
		New York - 1940, C W Briggs (Allen) is one of the best insurance investigators in the city, with quite a reputation as a ladies man. His co-workers include the firm's new efficiency expert, Betty Ann "Fitz" Fitzgerald (Hunt) and their boss (and her lover) Chris Magruder (Aykroyd).
		This is the latest in a long line of Woody Allen comedy’s to trickle out from that once deep pool of the writer/director’s talent - it’s not that it’s a bad film; it’s just not the sort of film that one thinks of immediately when Allen comes to mind.
		But for now, ‘The Curse Of The Jade Scorpion’ is definitely one for the fans only.

		A by-the-numbers Woody Allen movie, "The Curse of the Jade Scorpion" is another example of the more recent (and uneven) efforts created by the director.

	The Curse of the Jade Scorpion : film review
		His newest film, The The Curse of the Jade Scorpion, is a half-hearted attempt to revive the screwball comedies of the 1930s and 40s.

	The Curse of the Jade Scorpion
		The writing for Scorpion is not as sharp as Woody Allen's previous movies as most of the jokes fall flat.
		Woody Allen's funny, frantic THE CURSE OF THE JADE SCORPION is part screwball romantic comedy, part 1940s noir detective story, and part ingenious heist film.
		Allen's new picture, The Curse of the Jade Scorpion, is nothing but plot and production values, and there's barely a laugh in it that isn't quashed.

	The Curse of the Jade Scorpion Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Before long, Voltan is placing phone calls from “The Jade Scorpion” and making Briggs steal jewels the insurance company protects.
		“Curse of the Jade Scorpion” offers none of the depth or insight you usually expect to stumble across somewhere in a Woody Allen movie.
		Or if you’d like a funnier, cleaner Woody Allen caper movie, rent “Manhattan Murder Mystery.” “The Curse of the Jade Scorpion” just doesn’t quiet live up to the standards of the genre or the director.

	The Curse of the Jade Scorpion
		"The Curse of the Jade Scorpion" reps a partial return to Woody's old style, but, in the end, it's the lack of depth and less than sparkling humor that keeps his latest work on the middle ground of his long career.
		This is true with "The Curse of the Jade Scorpion," but it is, still, an amusing little flick.
		One always hopes that Woody is going to produce another masterpiece like "Manhattan." We don't get it with "The Curse of the Jade Scorpion," but we do get a solid middlin' film from the guy.

		With The Curse of the Jade Scorpion, Woody Allen pays another visit to his idealized past, and his retro blend of humor and nostalgia will surely satisfy the filmmaker's most loyal fans.
		Like The Purple Rose of Cairo, Radio Days, and Sweet and Lowdown, The Curse of the Jade Scorpion is physically impeccable: its period-perfect costumes and sets capture 1940 New York with splendid authenticity and are further enhanced by the burnished glow of Zhao Fei's cinematography.
		Dan Aykroyd is also good in a stodgy supporting role, but Jade Scorpion remains a mixed blessing--a welcomed throwback to comedy's yesteryear, from a master funnyman who's struggling to maintain relevance in the present.

	dOc DVD Review: The Curse of the Jade Scorpion (2001)
		In the same way that Radio Days was Woody Allen's love letter to radio of the 1940s, The Curse of the Jade Scorpion is his tribute to classic films of that era.
		Charlize Theron channels Veronica Lake in a small, smoldering role as the sexy daughter of one of the robbed families, and even Showgirls' Elizabeth Berkley is good as C.W.'s trusting secretary.
		Extras Review: Curse of the Jade Scorpion has about what you'd expect from an Allen film in terms of extras.

		And while his output in recent years has been far less consistent than his earlier work, even an average Woody Allen movie is a better proposition than the majority of what passes for cinema in these corporate times.
		Clocking in as (by our count) his 31st theatrical feature film, Curse of the Jade Scorpion sees Woody heading back once again to his earlier, “sillier” comedy style, with one-liners aplenty and a determined lack of realism.
		A lightweight, fun romp that’s decidedly old-fashioned both in its setting and in its approach to comedy, Curse of the Jade Scorpion is merely average Woody Allen.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: The Curse of the Jade Scorpion
		Just as Fitzgerald is planning the demise of Briggs' entire department, a series of baffling burglaries strikes the firm's wealthiest clients, introducing controversy, suspicion, and some damning evidence into the inter-office tension, and forcing Briggs to utilize all of his investigative resources.
		While Curse never aspires to the philosophical reach of Allen's greatest works, it does fit in perfectly with his breezy comedies of the early 1980s.
		Unlike most of Allen's terrible streak of clunkers since 1992's brilliant Husbands and Wives, the worst that can be said about Curse is that Allen, as a performer, is at times too big, and that Hunt should sue her makeup artist.

		The Curse of the Jade Scorpion review movie review of the film including The Curse of the Jade Scorpion DVD soundtrack & poster.
		As someone who feels somewhat cheated by the last few Woody Allen films, I didn't have high expectations of The Curse of the Jade Scorpion other than a few laughs.
		Celebrity, Small Time Crooks, and Deconstructing Harry started out well enough and then inexplicably veered off the path and lost me. Not so with The Curse of the Jade Scorpion, a charming ode (Woody Allen style) to 1940's New York that stays on track until the finish.

	The Curse of the Jade Scorpion
		The action in Woody Allenâs latest period comedy, The Curse of the Jade Scorpion, takes place when big band ruled the airwaves, gumshoes got their tips on the street, and the New York Giants still played baseball.
		Itâs not as bold or visually explicit in Scorpion as in some of his other movies, but the fascination continues.
		Unfortunately, the bickering between Allen and Hunt gets tiresome and, as is the case with so many Woody Allen movies, The Curse of the Jade Scorpion stumbles because too much of its witty repartee aims below the belt.

	THE CURSE OF THE JADE SCORPION
		SCORPION at least falls into the former category, but one still wonders whether Allen made the film as an excuse to kiss beautiful younger women; in this case, Charlize Theron and Helen Hunt.
		The underrated Theron, bewigged to look like Veronica Lake via Kim Bassinger from L.A. CONFIDENTIAL, is basically playing Martha Vicker’s role of Carmen Sternwood from THE BIG SLEEP.
		That is a blessing in a summer with the likes of PLANET OF THE APES and RUSH HOUR 2, in which stunts take precedence over logic.
