I really live some of Woody Allen's films, which are laugh out funny, or great. Others I really don't like. They are talkative, and boring if you're not in the mood.
Mighty Aphrodite is a mixed blessing. The best are just great, but I'm afraid to say I think the film sometimes loses grip. It's a typical Allen film, with the annoyingly talkative Allen interrupting the women in his life, and this has a drive that many loves.
I've got a trouble with the start, which is dull. The Greek choir in the beginning feels quasi cultural, and too often it takes over. Then the film loses momentum, even if there sometimes are funny parts. The plot is good, and Mira Sorvino went away with an Oscar for her role as the hooker. Some scenes are hilarious, and Allen at his best
I'll end the review with one of the great lines from the film, from Linda Ash: - You didn't want a blow job, so the least thing I could do was buying you a tie!
If you want to check out Allen's best, they are "Loved and death", "Small time crooks", "Annie Hall" and "Match point".
