In “Whatever Works,” Woody Allen returns to his hometown of New York after some European dabbling. It’s an archetypal Allen movie, so if you can’t stand urban Jewish-American intellectual cynicism and supporting characters popping up randomly without rhyme or reason, stay the hell away. Indeed, the script might come off as catastrophically archaic to some, as it was written in the 70s. But to those bored of present day Hollywood, this flick is pleasurably nostalgic.

(USA) Do not be put off by the seemingly tasteless premise of a social klutz who apparently loses his mind when he loses his heart to a doll.
