Whatever Works

"This far-fetched, deliberately artificial game of musical chairs -- in which mismatched characters encircle, attract and repel each other -- feels forced, often losing itself in excess verbiage."

"No kidding: this is the feel-good movie of the year and a cinematic soul massage."

"Yellnikoff, played with perfect pitch by Larry David."

"Highly entertaining."

"Features enough genuine laughs to give it decent commercial traction."
