   Critics consensus Based upon a script written in the 1970s, Woody Allen's Whatever Works suffers from a lack of fresh ideas. More reviews on Rotten Tomatoes

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.

    WriterDave 29 June 2009. Woody Allen's alter ego, Boris (a bitterly good and sardonic Larry David) makes this statement to the audience rather early on in "Whatever Works". The truth is, no matter how misanthropic, sarcastic and neurotic Woody Allen is, he ultimately is a pretty likable personality...if you like that type.
