This is one movie that I'm glad I finally got to see! Woody Allen has proved time and again that he is one of the funniest actor/directors ever. This movie re-affirms that. Great casting as always. I wonder if stars come to Woody and ask if they can be in his movies.
Curse of the Jade Scorpion finds Woody playing an insurance investigator who comes up against his match - an efficiency expert, played by Helen Hunt(superb casting!) After attending a party, and being hypnotized, they both take part in the thefts of diamonds from some of their insured clients. Very witty movie, and the fact that it's set in the 40's adds even more charm to it. Supporting cast members include Charlize Theron, David Ogden Stiers, and, surprise, sruprise, Dan Akroyd. Supreme mixture of talent in this movie, and it shows all the way through it.
See this movie if you want a lot of laughs. Thank you Woody, for yet another great funny movie.
