This is a very simple story that Woody Allen did not mess up by making it too artsy or introspective. It's a strange tale about a couple who adopt a child and the hubby keeps compulsively wondering what the birth mother was like. His wife, Helena Bonham Carter, doesn't care and gets angry at his obsessiveness.
Eventually, Woody is able to track down the mother and it's Mira Sorvino (who won an Oscar for her rather broad performance). She's a ditsy woman who is somehow very attractive to Woody and he pursues her relentlessly.
While Sorvino's dumb blonde character is kind of interesting, I found that a little of it went a long way. However, the story itself was very interesting and fresh, so it's worth a look.
