Review of Mighty Aphrodite (1995) by Steven R — 30 Jan 2008
Although an old-fashioned Woody Allen comedy of misadventure in essence - a story at the service of gags that are built around the personality of a neurotic New Yorker - Mighty Aphrodite is by far Allen's most optimistic and positive film.
Frames of a very funny fake Greek chorus performing at the magnificent ruins of the Greek theater in Taormina, Sicily (their best bit of advice to the protagonist: "Please, Lenny, don't be a schmuck") and a wonderfully entertaining performance by Mira Sorvino, playing a dumb-but-good-natured hooker, rise the film to a higher level.
