Trailer: Woody Allen’s Whatever Works

Release Date: June 19, 2009 (NY, LA)
Director: Woody Allen
Starring: Larry David, Evan Rachel Wood, Ed Begley Jr., Patricia Clarkson, Henry Cavill, Kristen Johnston, Michael McKean

Plot: An eccentric New Yorker (Larry David) abandons his upper class life to lead a more bohemian existence. He meets a young girl from the South and her family and no two people seem to get along in the entanglements that follow.

Thoughts: Woody Allen does roughly one movie per year, and I don’t think there has ever been one that I cared about, but I might actually enjoy this one. I love LD on Curb Your Enthusiasm, but this is pretty much his first real acting role since that show is mostly improv and by the looks of it he is doing a decent job. This seems like the kind of role that Bill Murray would be doing these days, maybe because it is a similar plot to Lost in Translation, but I am curious to see how Larry David does with it anyways. Chances are high that I will never see this movie, however if the opportunity arises I will not turn away.
