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.
I appreciated how this movie went about its characters. There are a lot of imperfect people out there, and while art may be a reflection of life, some movies definitely imitate better than others, especially in the age of the comic book blockbuster.
The wacky Greek side-story reminded me of the sophisticated buffoonery of one of my favorite shows: Frasier, so that was a good time.
All in all, Mighty Aphrodite was hectic, raunchy, sometimes witty, and boasting an ending with a bit of dramatic irony. It's fun and I liked it.
