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."

ハンナ、ホリー、リーの芸術家三姉妹と、二人の男性の恋愛関係を絡めながら、“人生のほろ苦さ”を描いた感動作。シニカルなのにコミカルで、でもその視点は終始温かいというアレンならではの作品。
