Comedy/Romantic Comedy: Whatever Works- 2009


After a failed suicide, and consequential divorce, genius, and former physicist Boris (played by Larry David) lives a antisocial, curmudgeon lifestyle, as a chess instructor. That is, until a young runaway, naive southern girl, winds up on his doorstep, and his life, and her family's lives begin to change immensely. Directed by Woody Allen.


Grade: B


This was an interesting side to a story rarely seen in movies. The life of a divorced older man, and his entertaining journey through a specific period of time in his life. It was funny, and smart, yet cute and romantic, with the ultimate "moral of the story" being: Do, for your life "whatever works" for you. This was a good movie, and very well acted!
