Whatever Works - 2009 * * * *

This film has been slated continuously since it's release and I must say I loved it. Starring that bloke from 'Curb your enthusiasm' it's bizarre and slightly creepy undertone makes this film like marmite, you either love it or hate it.

Boris is a moody and unsociable chess player who has no interest in any women or any relationship until he meets 21 year old Melodie by chance after finding her outside his home one evening. Although having nothing in common and despite the age difference Melodie and Boris get married. Melodie constantly trying to understand and share Boris's anti-people view of the world and Boris trying to make Melodie understand his political and intellectual perspective.

Woody Allen is still on top form with this movie and brings many laughs.
