Whatever Works

While a cynical, sarcastic, limping, curmudgeonly, retired Harvard physicist (Larry David) surprises himself and his friends (Michael McKean, Adam Brooks, and Lyle Kanouse) by falling for an airhead Mississippi beauty pageant winner (Evan Rachel Wood) when she arrives on his doorstep in Woody Allen's offbeat, funny, romantic, 93-minute, 2009 comedy, her Bible-thumping, stifled, artistic mother (Patricia Clarkson) tries to hook her daughter up with a smitten college student (John Gallagher Jr.) when she arrives in Manhattan and ends up in a ménage à trois relationship with two men (Conleth Hill and Olek Krupa) to the surprise of her estranged, adulterous husband (Ed Begley, Jr.) who also has made a new friend (Christopher Evan Welch).
