In Woody Allen's Whatever Works, Larry David plays a cross between his Curb Your Enthusiasm character (ranting monologues) and Allen himself (existential angst). The relationships become more complex and less interesting, and Allen's traditional creepy age-gap between the central couple has returned. Allen is back in New York after Barcelona (
Vicky Cristina Barcelona) and London (
Match Point,
Scoop, and Cassandra's Dream), though he forgot to include any jokes.
