Bastante simplista, o poster põe em destaque Larry David. O filme já estreou nos Estados Unidos, no Festival de Tribeca e deu origem a um misto de críticas. Como a Woody Allen não dão nunca o benefício da dúvida, é natural que as opiniões sejam tão distintas como as de David D’Arcy, no Screen International:
“Writing a New York story and shooting at home has given Allen a sureness to his voice. The dialogue here has a familiar ring yet a crackling freshness … Whatever Works transcends Allen formulas thanks to David, who is taller, balder and more foul-mouthed than the usual types Allen himself has played. Spitting out his lines, David finds a deeper nastiness here than the everyday bile of his character on the autobiographical Curb Your Enthusiasm. Allen does wonders with a character who isn’t seeking to be loved”.
Ou as de Ronnie Scheid, na Variety:
“Though stuffed with witty one-liners and wondrously convoluted tirades, this far-fetched, deliberately artificial game of musical chairs -- in which mismatched characters encircle, attract and repel each other -- feels forced, often losing itself in excess verbiage. Still, the David/Allen hybrid makes for a fascinating beast, of interest to acolytes of both comedians, if a far cry from Vicky Cristina Barcelona whose B.O. haul is unlikely to be matched by this June 19 Sony Classics release”.
Na história, Boris (Larry David) é um judeu nova-iorquino excêntrico que abandona a sua vida de conforto para tentar a sorte com uma existência mais boémia enquanto professor de xadrez. Durante esta nova fase, Boris apaixona-se por Melodie (Evan Rachel Wood) uma mulher bem mais nova que ele.
