Rating: 3.5/4 -- Allen's finest work in years, and while the plot may rely a bit too much on coincidence and simple conflict resolution, the quick-witted dialogue and talented ensemble makes it all work. Full Review

Much of the film's humor revolves around outrageous character transformations....[The film does] serve as an excellent vehicle for both Wood, utterly charming here, and Clarkson, displaying her considerable comic talents.

Rating: 0/4 -- What's Woody Allen's worst film? Look no further. Full Review

3 stars out of 4 -- Larry David is the mind of the enterprise, and Evan Rachel Wood is the heart. David is a verbal virtuoso, playing the 'Woody Allen role' but with his personal shtick.

Rating: 2/5 -- David might be plugging a gap between Curb series, but Allen can do better.

WHATEVER WORKS gives effective voice to Allen's jaundiced philosophy of life...

Whatever Works is a very funny Woody Allen movie about things that many - all right, most - of Allen's movies are about. Full Review

Product Description:

The New York-based humor of Woody Allen and CURB YOUR ENTHUSIAM’s Larry David seems like a natural match, and the pair unite for the first time in this comedy. WHATEVER WORKS follows a rich man (David), who decides that he should be living a different, less-status based life. Evan Rachel Wood, Patricia Clarkson, Ed Begley Jr., and Michael McKean star in this film that marks Allen’s cinematic return to New York City.

Product Description:

Whatever Works explores the relationship between a crotchety misanthrope, Boris (Larry David) and a naïve, impressionable young runaway from the south, Melody (Evan Rachel Wood). When Melody's uptight parents arrive in New York to rescue her, they are quickly drawn into wildly unexpected romantic entanglements. Everyone discovers that finding love is just a combination of lucky chance and appreciating the value of "whatever works."
