Whatever Works

The New York-based humor of Woody Allen and CURB YOUR ENTHUSIAMÆs 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 AllenÆs cinematic return to New York City.

"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." - Hollywood Reporter

"WHATEVER WORKS gives effective voice to Allen's jaundiced philosophy of life..." - A.V. Club

"Wood is totally beguiling in the role, absorbing Boris' cynicism but still charming him into marriage." - Rolling Stone

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." - Chicago Sun-Times
