Review of Whatever Works (2009) by Dan S — 26 Jan 2010
Although competently made and featuring some great scenes with clever dialogue, this self-loving farce begins to wear out it's welcome in it's final stages, pushing its liberal, free-loving spirit a bit to far down it's audience's throats, leaving one gagging at it's extraordinary pathetic conclusion.
You would think this movie would be good, bordering on brilliant, considering it's directed by Woody Allen and stars the very well-liked Larry David, sadly it's just a misfire, one that tries to be lovable but ends up being near repulsive and not extremely memorable.
Maybe Woody should stick to his European filming, it worked beautifully in "Match Point", and his last movie taking place in New York was the very forgettable "Melinda and Melinda".
