Mighty Aphrodite
My Woody Allen kick continues with this fun, witty film. Mira Sorvino took home a best supporting actress Oscar for her role and, while I can't quite give her that much credit, it's still her best performance to date. My grade: B
Synopsis: Lenny Weinrib, a sportswriter married to ambitious Amanda Sloan, who desperately wants her own art gallery in New York City and is willing to play the game to get it. Amanda convinces a reluctant Lenny to adopt, and they end up with beautiful Max. Lenny soon becomes obsessed with finding out who Max's biological parents are, and he is not exactly happy when he discovers that the mother is a high-pitched actress wanna-be who is also a minor porn star and hooker. Lenny is determined to turn her life around--but at the same time is forced to examine his own marriage, which is failing. (via Yahoo)
Writer and Director: Woody Allen (Annie Hall)
Stars: Woody Allen (The Curse of the Jade Scorpion), Mira Sorvino (The Replacement Killers), Helena Bonham Carter (Big Fish), F. Murray Abraham (Amadeus), Michael Rapaport ("Boston Public"), Peter Weller (RoboCop)
