Review of Whatever Works (2009) by Soony — 24 Aug 2009
Extremely poor self-indulgent film. There is no "philosophy" - it's just justification as to why an old man (Woody) can use the life of a naive, lost youngster (Soon Yi) and then rationalize the bad, selfish, hedonistic behavior.
The critics were dead on accurate. This film should just be titled "the whole world is an orgy of infidelity, just relax and enjoy." The on stage move to camera was ridiculous and doesn't work.
The story is absurdly predictable. I give it a 1 for the fact that it had a few funny lines but that is it. People are dumber than a bag of bricks and if Larry David is in it and it has a few lines, then it's "genius.
" I got it. Go rent a porno and you'll be more satisfied than this tripe.
