Opening June 19th is the new Woody Allen movie "Whatever Works". This is the one where Larry David ("Seinfeld, "Curb Your Enthusiasm") plays the Woody character. I managed to see a screening at this year's ShoWest and while it isn't the best Woody Allen movie I've seen, there was plenty I liked. Also, it was great to see Woody return to his New York City roots after being in Europe with his last few films.

Anyway, we've been given a few clips from the film and you can watch them - along with the trailer - after the jump. Finally, here's the full synopsis:

An eccentric New Yorker played by Larry David abandons his upper class life to lead a more bohemian existence. He meets a young girl from the south and her family and no two people seem to get along in the entanglements that follow. This is a comedy also starring Ed Begley Jr., Patricia Clarkson, Conleth Hill, Michael McKean, Evan Rachel Wood, and a number of other amusing types.
