Whatever Works explores the relationship between a crotchety misanthrope, Boris and a naïve, impressionable young runaway from the south, Melody. When Melody's uptight parents arrive in New York to rescue her, they are quickly drawn into wildly unexpected romantic entanglements. Everyone discovers that finding love is just a combination of lucky chance and appreciating the value of "whatever works."

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Whatever Works isn't topnotch Woody Allen, but it's still immensely funny.
– Colin Covert,
Minneapolis Star Tribune,
3 Jul 2009
fresh:
The result is a witty, well-played work without an adequate center. If you can get past that, Whatever Works does.
– Tom Long,
Detroit News,
3 Jul 2009
rotten:
After the fiercely enjoyable Vicky Christina Barcelona, this return to New York City is a letdown, though not without a few charms.
– Lisa Kennedy,
Denver Post,
3 Jul 2009
rotten:
All rather mellow and predictable.
– Ruth Hessey,
MovieTime, ABC Radio National,

fresh:
For all its wobbles, Whatever Works is rooted in an agreeable sensibility: life favours fate over luck more than we'd like to think, so grab whatever chances of happiness come your way.
