Top Ten Movies of the Decade: Whatever Works (2009)
Before I can talk about whatever it is that Whatever Works (2009) has bestowed upon me, there is an issue to be addressed: it's a Woody Allen movie. So, I'm not apologizing for really enjoying this Woody Allen movie.
I'm glad to get that off my shoulders.
Personally, I've always found the "social experiment" approach on storytelling really funny. Not interesting, but funny. And in spite of this, I enjoyed watching Whatever Works for different reasons. The story is pretty much the narration of a sequence of hillbillies coming over to the big city and... uh... blooming into their real self. So this is fun, while slightly uninteresting.
What must have pushed my buttons here is the main character. Not only is he amazingly pessimistic, he's also enjoying life to whatever fullest he can make it work.
