Very good
This is by far my favourite of Woody's 10 or so most recent films. Has some very funny moments &, of course, the divine (& very talented) Mira Sorvino.
Mighty Aphrodite
"...A zippy, frothy confection....Dominated by a smashing exhibition from Mira Sorvino....[She develops] a deeply sympathetic and appealing type..."
Mighty Aphrodite
"...Break--loud funny .When Mira Sorvino's Linda is on screen, MIGHTY APHRODITE is buzzing with daffy amatory exultation..." -- Rating: B+
Mighty Aphrodite
"...[Sorvino gives an] all-redeeming, perhaps best-catalogue-scheduled doing..."
