Whatever Works (2009)
Directed by: Woody Allen
Written by: Woody Allen
Starring: Larry David, Evan Rachel Wood, Patricia Clarkson, Michael McKean, Henry Cavill, Ed Begley Jr.
An angry pessimistic man takes in a dumb teenage runaway and they manage to help eachother deal with life, and soon they fall in love. Things get complicated when the girl's mother comes to town. As far as Allen's recent comedies go, this was pretty good. It's not a deep movie by any means but it's enjoyable, but not very memorable. B+
