Hilarious

Superb! Probably my favorite Allen comedy since Zelig . I loved Larry David as the woody character.. It just worked for me.
I also laughed loudly during several scenes. This is worth mentioning because most comedies just get me to chuckle every now and then. Loved the story line with Patricia Clarkson.
A+++

Whatever Works

There's something about being one of six sparsely laughing people in a theater to watch a Woody Allen film. It's like having a favorite diner, wondering how in the world they can stay in business, but enjoying it while it lasts.

There's nothing more worn out and tired like a "new" Woody Allen film, but hey, whatever works, right? We have the same characters, but new actors. This film is about the same as Scoop quality-wise (but hey, I was one of the only people who liked that movie). Evan Rachel Wood is one of my favorite actresses, but let me level with you. She is atrocious with her accent, with everything about her. There, I said it. Everyone else is pretty good, even Larry David, who is just a pale imitation of Woody Allen here. And I'll be honest, I would prefer the real thing. Ho...
