Whatever Works (2009) is a quirky romantic comedy written and directed by Woody Allen that blends wit, cynicism, and unexpected warmth. The film follows Boris Yellnikoff (played by Larry David), a brilliant yet grumpy and pessimistic man living in New York City, who unexpectedly finds himself in a relationship with a much younger, naive Southern runaway named Melody (Evan Rachel Wood).

As Boris’s rigid worldview collides with Melody’s simple optimism, the story unfolds with humor and surprises, reminding viewers that life often works out in strange and unpredictable ways.

Featuring sharp dialogue, clever twists, and a playful breaking of the fourth wall, Whatever Works is a lighthearted exploration of love, chance, and the unpredictability of human connection.

A smart, offbeat film perfect for those who enjoy witty comedies with a philosophical edge.
