Is the movie Whatever Works available on Netflix, Disney+, Prime or Apple TV+?

At Stream Tracker, we check where to watch Woody Allen’s Whatever Works (2009). This offbeat romantic comedy follows Boris, a crotchety misanthrope, and Melody, a naïve runaway whose arrival in New York triggers wildly unexpected romantic entanglements — even Melody’s uptight parents get dragged into the chaos. Equal parts urban cynicism and lucky chance, the film spins around the loose philosophy of “whatever works.” In this article we'll tell you whether Whatever Works is currently streaming on Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video or AppleTV+, and how to find Boris and Melody’s misadventures online. The film didn’t win major awards, but it’s notable for Larry David’s lead turn and its sharp, Woody Allen–style observations.

Whatever Works

Synopsis

A curmudgeonly loner named Boris reluctantly becomes the guardian of Melody, a naive young runaway from the South. When her rigid, anxious parents arrive in New York determined to bring her home, they are soon caught up in a chain of surprising romantic entanglements. As mismatched lives intersect across the city, everyone learns that love is often a blend of fortunate chance and the willingness to embrace imperfect but workable solutions.
