Whatever Works (7.5 out of 10)

"This is not the feel good movie of the year. So if you're one of those idiots who needs to feel good, go get yourself a foot massage."


Whatever works is vintage Woody. Larry David is hilarious playing Boris, a self proclaimed genius who hates people. Me being the genius I am could relate to the film because just like Boris I to can see the whole picture. :)

Boris' world turns upside down after his wife leaves him, a failed suicide attempt, and befriending a young dumb southern bell named Melody played by Evan Rachel Wood. Despite their age and intellectual differences he grows fond of her. Boris' merciless insults, rants, and tirades are what makes "Whatever Works" works for me.
