Whatever Works reviews

Whatever Works holds a 7.1/10 average from 1,885 TMDB ratings.

It is an instant classic. One of my favorite movies for the holiday season.

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."
