I just devoured this New York Magazine cover story about the new Woody Allen-Larry David flick, Whatever Works (in theaters June 19).  The article glorifies Woody’s return to New York and him and Larry’s subconscious usage of so-called “Jewish Humour” (although maybe NY Mag just does that to sell copies to one of its larger demographics).  It actually delves into the evolution of the latter topic quite a bit and it is quite an interesting transition. I won’t go into great detail about the article; read it if you are so inclined.  I sometimes get annoyed with movie reviews because they give too much of the plot away (not so much the case here; the article is more of a feature about Woody/Larry and their brand of humour).  Of course, with a Woody or Larry project such as this, plot doesn’t matter as much as the dialogue/humour.  I have high hopes for this flick and am excited for its impending release.  It is so rare these days that I find a comedy worth seeing in the theaters.  Maybe I’m just excited because it is ‘my kind of humour’? That is what NY Mag would have me believe.
