I like the three main characters so I give four stars

A light comedy with a different style.

Starring Woody Allen, Scarlett Johansson, and Ian McShane. A dead reporter talks to a dead secretary on Yellow Springs Road and learns that the secretary died mysteriously when his boss (Ian McShane) was suspected of murder. The reporter tried to deceive the god of death and returned to the world, and happened to bump into a female college student (Scarlett Johansson) who was cooperating with performing magic, and asked her to investigate the matter. And the magician (Woody Allen) is also involved...

Woody Allen, this lovely little old man, performs hilariously. Not a bad comedy, although the plot development was what I expected.
