Review of Mighty Aphrodite (1995) by Kenneth B — 04 Jun 2012

I seem to be part of the minority who wasn't particularly blown away by Sorvino's performance. It's more to do with her vocal tones more than anything else, without wanting to sound particularly unfair they irritated me.

Allen's writing is solid, as is his acting, but I didn't laugh as much as I would have expected to. There are redeeming features though, as is common with Allen's work Mighty Aphrodite is an easy film to watch and although the humour isn't as strong as with much of his other films this is ultimately a warm-hearted effort.
