Mighty Aphrodite

DIRECTED BY: Woody Allen

REVIEWED: 11-22-95

Woody Allen continues the dramatization of his mid-life crisis in his latest film; and this time around, it works. Mira Sorvino is the hooker with a heart of gold who drags Woody out of his bourgeois complacency as he drags her, kicking and screaming, into a respectable life. A Greek chorus lurks around the edges of the action, dispensing wry commentary and unwanted advice like the quintessential Jewish mother. All the standard Woody Allen gags, with their comforting familiarity, return with delightful freshness in this sweetly comic movie.
