Mighty Aphrodite

Woody Allen is on of those hit and miss directors with me. I find his neurotic introspective style of humor and drama to be hard to watch at times, downright painful actually. Happily, MIGHTY APHRODITE isn`t one of those gut wrenching offerings of his those it certainly does have it`s moments. Fusing elements of Greek mythology in a backdrop to his modern day Manhattan action MIGHTY APHRODITE is one heck of alot heavier than you might be inclined to think and could always do with a second viewing or more. Despite the all-star cast which includes Allen himself of course, Mira Sorvino ends up being the real star and all but walks away with the film. As I often choose to do I will not give away any of the story elements as they should be disocvered on your own, I will say that Helena Bonham Carter should have been given more screen time to flush out her character but this is a minor complaint....MIGHTY APHRODITE should provide a good romp for all.
