Whatever Works

About This Movie

Whatever Works is like a whimsical stroll through Woody Allen's mind, where sarcasm and romance collide. It features Larry David as Boris, a misanthropic New Yorker who finds himself entangled with Melody, played by Evan Rachel Wood, a wide-eyed Southern runaway. The chemistry between them is both absurd and intriguing, highlighting Allen's knack for blending opposites. The pacing has a carefree rhythm, almost like a casual conversation that drifts into unexpected territories. What stands out here are the off-kilter characters, particularly the parents who hilariously dive into their own romantic escapades. The film, shot in classic New York style, captures that vibrant city atmosphere while exploring themes of love’s unpredictability.
