Mighty Aphrodite (1995)
Directed by Woody Allen
“Of all human weaknesses, obsession is the most dangerous, and the silliest!”
Comedy, Romance · 1h 35m
When Lenny and his wife, Amanda, adopt a baby, Lenny realizes that his son is a genius and becomes obsessed with finding the boy's biological mother in hopes that she will be brilliant too. But when he learns that Max's mother is Linda Ash, a kindhearted prostitute and porn star, Lenny is determined to reform her immoral lifestyle. A Greek chorus chimes in to relate the plot to Greek mythology in this quirky comedy.
