Whatever Works Critic Reviews

  • "Woody Allen's sour romantic comedy starring Larry David as a bitter genius and Evan Rachel Wood as a dimwitted Southern belle is only sporadically amusing." Los Angeles Times

    - Kenneth Turan

  • "Whatever Works is one of the least engaging movies ever by the prolific Allen, a real disappointment after the charms of Vicky Christina Barcelona." USA Today

    - Claudia Puig

  • "Though stuffed with witty one-liners and wondrously convoluted tirades...feels forced, often losing itself in excess verbiage" Variety

    - Ronnie Scheib
