Title: You've seen this before, and better.
Review: "Whatever Works" is so flat and unpersuasive that it caused me to question my love for Woody Allen's best films. Is he really so one-dimensional, returning time and time again, with diminishing returns, to the themes that have filled too many of his films? Forget for a moment the older man/younger woman relationships - how about the persistent hatred of popular music, the affairs without any emotional consequences, the Manhattan that resembles no Manhattan I've inhabited in the last 40 years?The problem is that this film, like so many of his films these days, is positively hermetically sealed off from any new experience, any new opinions, any new take on life. You would hope that his recent series of films made overseas would result in a fresh perspective once Woody Allen returned to NYC, but no. I wish I liked the film more, but it's getting harder and harder for me to warm to anything Allen is creating.
