Review of Whatever Works (2009) by Paul P — 17 Dec 2011
Woody delivers the goods yet again.
Whilst we have to deal with the concept of the older man/younger girl relationship again, it is done well and doesn't feel particularly forced.
Where this film scores is with the dialogue and the fantastic cast who are clearly having a blast. Larry David is excellent as our hero Boris and Evan Rachel Wood is on good form selling the idea of being attracted to Boris pretty easily. The rest of the cast are equally as good,particularly Patricia Clarkson and Ed Begley Jr,they are hilarious.
What I liked most about the film was it's good nature and the message it delivers at the end about succumbing to 'Whatever works...'. Simple stuff, excellently played.
