Whatever Works explores the relationship between a crotchety misanthrope, Boris and a naïve, impressionable young runaway from the south, Melody. When Melody's uptight parents arrive in New York to rescue her, they are quickly drawn into wildly unexpected romantic entanglements. Everyone discovers that finding love is just a combination of lucky chance and appreciating the value of "whatever works."
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A witty, deliberately artificial romance that embraces the messiness of human connection and the absurdity of compatibility. It's a film that delights in unlikely pairing and finds joy in the fact that love rarely follows logic.
