I have never been a fan of Woody Allen but after thoroughly enjoying both Midnight In Paris and Vicky Cristina Barcelona I thought I'd give him one more chance. Having also been entertained by Mira Sorvino in The Replacement Killers this seemed like a good place to start.
How the fuck did this win her an Oscar? What a load of old shit. The same neurotic character he always plays I should have fucking known better. Pants.

"Of all human weaknesses, obsession is the most dangerous, and the silliest!"

Another solid outing from Woody Allen with some wonderful performances from a great cast, especially from Mira Sorvino who won a rightfully deserved Oscar. The ending is odd and little corny but the film is still funny, witty, and a wonderful treat.

I don't usually like romantic comedies unless they're written by Woody Allen. The chorus and prophets are a bit forced but fortunately consistently witty. The whole Greek drama vehicle would fall apart in the hands of a lesser writer.

When Woody made Annie Hall less cultured than him, it served a purpose, highlighting his awful control-freakery. It helped that Annie was such a brilliantly realised character. Mighty Aphrodite is where his habit of introducing stupid women to be saved by the cultured men began to sour. Yes, the men are ridiculous, but as time wears on, his male characters seem more dignified while the women get dumber. Of all the terrible flaws in his later, crappier movies, this is the worst.

How the fuck did Mira Sorvino win for an Oscar for this?!?! The other candidates were all robbed! She sounds like Elmo and I never once believed her as a porn star/hooker. The first part of this movie is wildly entertaining but it takes a nose dive as soon as Mira is on screen. I used to think she was such a babe when I was kid and even sat through Mimic because she was in it so you'd think I'd enjoy her playing a hooker! Nope! She was god awful. This is one of my least favorite Woody Allen films but it still has it's memorable moments.

Divertida, es la palabra con la que identificaría esta cinta. Sin duda que no es de las mejores de Woody Allen pero cumple las espectativas. Allen mantuvo la comedia romántica añadiéndole un poco de humor sexista.
Le doy un 3.5 porque no sería una película para verla hasta 3 o 4 veces, es una película que puedes repetir con tus amigos para reírse un rato y pasar un buen momento, pero no es exageradamente buena.
En lo que si concuerdo es en el papel de Mira Sorvino que, aunque yo sin conocer su trabajo previo, hizo un buen trabajo como esa estrella porno durante toda la trama donde supo aplicar buenas dosis de erotismo que se encontraban en su guión.

A warm and funny film from Woody Allen, with a delightful and unfairly maligned performance from Mira Sorvino.

Though not on par with other great Allen films, Mighty Aphrodite is a hilarious romp with a great performance by Mira Sorvino.

Yet another Woody Allen film that cleverly experiments with the conventions of comedy. Mira Sorvino is impressive.

Cute story. Pretty funny.

Good Woody Allen.

What a performance Mia Sorvino delivery. Deserving of her Oscar win.

Mira Sorvino is the whole show here and she walks off with the pretty good film in a pinch. A hysterical, original characterization.
