Whatever Works - Official Trailer - Woody Allen Movie

Woody Allen returns to New York with an offbeat comedy about a crotchety misanthrope (Larry David) and a naïve, impressionable young run-away from the south (Evan Rachel Wood). When her uptight parents, (Patricia Clarkson and Ed Begley, Jr.) arrive to rescue her, they are quickly drawn into wildly unexpected romantic entanglements. Everyone discovers that finding love is just a combination of lucky chance and appreciating the value of WHATEVER WORKS.

As the romantic partners in this story uncouple and realign, seeking the emotional configurations that fulfill their needs, the outcomes suggest that there are no rules for love, and everyone must learn to be flexible and realistic. However out of the ordinary a relationship might be, it’s whatever works to get you through life.
