Review of Whatever Works (2009) by Kyle B — 21 Sep 2015
I feel like I have mixed feelings about this film. It's not quite what I expected. I was expecting a comedy but I just didn't find it funny at all. Now I haven't watched Curb Your Enthusiasm or Seinfield so maybe if you like those shows you would find some humour in this film? I just found it to be a bit depressing and slightly awkward to watch. Don't get me wrong I didn't dislike it, I just probably didn't get the point of it.
The biggest positive of this film for me was Rachel Evan Wood, I think this is the most likable character I have ever seen her play, she was adorable and very beautiful. I couldn't suspend my belief enough to find it believable that she would fall for Larry David...
I thought everyone did a good job acting wise but I felt quite awkward every time Larry David talked to the audience watching the film, it felt quite forced and I think it was meant to be more natural.
Even though I appear to have more negatives than positives about this film, I still found it to be very watchable. If you like very dry humour then you will probably enjoy this film.
