"Whatever love you can get and give. Whatever happiness you can provide. Every temporary measure of grace. Whatever works."

"Vintage Woody Allen" would be the most appropriate label for 2009's Whatever Works, because that's never been truer. Woody initially wrote this film back in 1977 as a vehicle for Zero Mostel, but the screenplay was set aside when Mostel inconsiderably died bef... read more

Em seu retorno a Nova Iorque, Woody Allen também retoma seu facsímile no centro da trama com o protagonista deliberadamente alegórico, um físico teórico divorciado após uma frustrada tentativa de suicídio. Boris Yellnikoff entoa as predileções narcisistas do diretor, como a superioridade de Fred Astaire e Beethoven ao barulhento rock moderno; encarna forçosos maneirismos e divaga para a... read more

Woody Allen is obsessed over the same subjects as usual.

"26.1. (Kirjasto-DVD) Klisee: harvoin sitä tulee näin komedialle naurettua. Whatever Worksin aluksi vain hymähdyttävän huumorin sisälle pääseminen vaatii oman aikansa, mutta lopulta maailman kyynisimmän kansalaisen, Borisin, rutiineista kiinni saatuaan alkaa varsinainen tärinä puskea päälle. Jatkuvat vihamieliset kommentit ja negatiivinen asenne aivan kaikkeen ympärillä olevaan on sivustakatsojan silmin vain niin pahuksen tragikoomista. Lopulta pelkkä ukon äänettömän käsi"

This time, Larry David plays the typical Woody Allen character but this version was even more obnoxious, viscious and mean than usual. At least, he was very funny and some of his dialogs were just hilarious which is something Woody Allen still can deliver. Unfortunately, I can't say the same about the other characters. Indeed, the character played by Evan Rachel Wood and her parents were just terrible. I thought that Wood was really not convincing or maybe it was just tha” read more
