1. • • Though the film is pretty typical Woody Allen fare in terms of its negativity and belief that life just happens randomly, especially when it comes to love, Whatever Works is still an incredibly fun film. Its protagonist may be a bit off-putting, but he is also oddly charming and a perfect fit for an Allen film.

   Is Woody Allen's 'Whatever Works' a good movie?

   • This film is about a genius physicist who insults everyone and everything around him. "Whatever Works" remains truly Woody Allen in most aspects, such as the initial credits and music, and dialog driven plot with lots of high quality witty dialogs. However, "Whatever Works" screams its difference by being cynical and being against the whole world.

   Is the plot of 'whatever works' based on a true story?

   • The plot of "Whatever Works" is irrelevant. Boris is some sort of genius-level physicist trying to speed his way to death, though those metaphors are never explored as poignantly as they should be. It all just serves as a soap-box for Allen (through David) to funnel his usual dialogues about relationships, love, luck and the meaning of life.

   Is 'Whatever Works' a good movie?

   • "Whatever Works" is an ironic romantic comedy about how irrational things of the heart are. The lead character Boris Yellnikoff is annoying and maybe reflects the alter ego of Woody Allen in the present days. But the black humor is hilarious and does not disappoint the fans of this great director, with cynical and witty lines.

   Is 'Whatever Works' a neo-classical Woody Allen song?

   • "Whatever Works" is neo-classical Woody Allen. It's like asking your mother to cook you something she always made when you were a kid only it's 40 years later and not all the same ingredients are present and she uses some different and not as sophisticated ones as a replacement.

   Who plays Boris yellnikoff in whatever works?

   • In Whatever Works, Larry David plays Boris Yellnikoff, Woody Allen's most unsympathetic character yet. He is even bleaker than Harry Block in Deconstructing Harry, this is despite the fact that the screenplay was apparently written in 1977 during what some people refer to as Woody's funny period.

   What is the conceit of Whatever Works?

   • The conceit of Whatever Works is that older Boris in his 60's hooks up with twenty-year-old Southern Melodie (Evan Rachel Wood) despite his genius mind rejecting the whole affair as trite but his heart going with "whatever works."
