Woody Allen's cynical sensibility so superbly dovetails with Larry David's acerbic misanthropy, it's a wonder they haven't worked together before. But no matter: fans of Allen, David, and especially David's Curb Your Enthusiasm will delight in the ability of Whatever Works to find humor in the darkest and most abrasive of life's corners.
The crux of this odd love story involves the unlikely friendship between David's character (the brilliant, kvetchy Boris) and the Southern beauty queen with a heart of gold and a brain of wide-open spaces, Melodie (the always-surprising Evan Rachel Wood). Boris takes on Melodie as a tutorial project, showing her the bleak ways of the world, and Melodie takes care of Boris with crayfish and Fred Astaire movies. There are other memorable performances by Patricia Clarkson, as Melodie's deeply religious and tightly wound mama, and Ed Harris, as her husband, a Southerner slightly to the right of George Wallace. The parents come to the big city to reclaim their wayward lamb, and when the Southerners meet the New Yorkers, sparks fly--in ways both good and slightly scary.
The film works because of the unlikely chemistry between the two stars and because of David's unflinchingly dyspeptic portrayal, which--while not exactly cozy to watch--is undeniably brilliant. The two find that their oddball friendship helps each of them find a little more meaning in their lives. "Whatever works"--a simple but profound recipe for happiness. --A.T. Hurley

LARRY DAVID was born to play this role . before seeing this highly recommended (through a co-worker) film , i wasn't sure that woody would allow LARRY to be LARRY so much . as us fans of LARRY's breathlessly funny "CURB YOR ENTHUSIASM" have known for at least seven years now , MR. DAVID is a genius on par with MR. ALLEN . this film is certainly not for all tastes . i'd only encourage people forty years of age or older to see this picture unless they were quite bright and/or sufficiently world weary ...

Woody Allen's movies get under rated (such as this one) and occasionally because they feature penelope Cruz ("Vicki Christina Barcelona" which I personally disliked immensely) over rated.
This is a little gem and his best movie at least since "Match Point" Its funny, warm and ultimately hopeful and Patricia Clarkson is to die for-along with "Crimes and Misdemeanours", "Annie H", "Interiors", "Manhattan", it's one of my favourites.

Sub-mental response to life like "whatever" maybe acceptable, eventually, to a genius, who can see the `big picture'.
I watched this movie right after watching Food, Inc. This sequence of movies created a bizarre perspective on life in my mind: The meek, who shall inherit the Earth according to the Bible, is not a reference to any group of humans, but to the corn.

Woody Allen is back to New York City and he celebrates his return with a new romantic comedy Allen-style dedicated to his favorite place of earth and its ability to change drastically the lives of those who come from all over to Big Apple attracted by the lamp of Statue of Liberty that she lift for "tired, poor, and yearning to breathe free..."
The movie is short, just 90 minutes, and the second half is fast, entertaining, and very funny. It introduces two characters, divorced couple, ... Read More
