It was nothing great, but I did laugh. Not as good as Mighty Aphrodite (9/10) but better than say... Scoop. I'd rather watch this 100 times in a row rather than Transformers 2 ever again.

I was particularly impressed with Evan Rachel Wood. The rest of the audience seemed mature and laughed at the same things I did -- it was a good experience. I have also seen Public Enemies -- what a letdown! Dizzying camera shots, couldn't tell the good guys from the bad, and at some points I couldn't make out what was being said. I just couldn't find any emotion to get involved. I've learned since that although it was BASED on the true story, some things were not true and some timelines had been changed. His last words were schmalty and UNTRUE. His actual injuries from the gunshots would not have allowed him to form any words. As much as I was looking forward to seeing it, I was not impressed with the movie at all. As a Woody Allen fan and a Larry David fan, I loved "Whatever Works".

I was convinced that the mousy blonde girl wasn't her until she admitted that she had a crush on him. You're right about Evan Rachel Wood being good in this movie.

Blind I would say Cheri, but if you are a traditional Woody Allen fan Whatever Works certainly has its moments. @BeautifulM: That's a tough call since they are both relatively similar on the entertainment front, but one is obviously more of a drama whereas the other a comedy.

Even if it´s not one of Allens best works, I´m interest in it. I would love to see "whatever works" but I have to wait. Even if it´s not one of Allens best works, I´m interest in it.
