Review of Whatever Works (2009) by Gareth M — 12 Sep 2014

Review:

I found this movie funny and well written. The storyline was great and Larry David cracked me up. His blatancy really did work with Woody Allen's writing and the different characters kept the movie entertaining and a joy to watch. From picking up a girl from the street, it's amazing how the story goes in many different directions but it end's up with everyone being happy. Anyway, all of the actors put in great performances, but it's Larry David that made the movie for me. Even if your not into your Woody Allen movies, you will find this movie funny, in a quirky type of way, so its worth a watch. Enjoyable!  .

Round-Up:

Larry David is known for his Curb Your Enthusiasm series, which has been on TV for years, but I've never actually watched it so I didn't know what to expect from this film. Maybe that's why I found it so funny! His co-star, Evan Rachel Wood, has starred in movies like Ides Of March and The Wrestler so she's not new to the big screen. The chemistry between the two was great to watch, even though she was a bit unintelligent but that's what made the relationship work. Her mother's storyline was amusing, along with her father who also made me laugh, and it's amazing how there stories panned out. In all, I'm surprised that I enjoyed this movie so much because of it's weird subject matter, but once the whole thing comes together, it really does work. .

Budget: $15million.

Worldwide Gross: $35million.

I recommend this movie to people who are into there Woody Allen's movies about a man whose totally against the world but manages to find love in the strangest place. 6/10.
