Whatever Works (out Oct 15) is the new Woody Allen movie and it's best described as Woody-lite. Not a lot to the storyline but it's still got his intelligent jokes and his insightful perspectives on life. It's about a cynical old guy (Larry David) who lets a young twenty-something (Evan Rachel Wood) move into his home. They're two polar opposites but they both rub off on the other. Grade: B+.
