Woody Allen: Mighty Aphrodite

Woody Allen always (well, most of the time) chooses a tall blonde to be his heorine. And he makes her inevitably fall for him one way or another. :) Why not, he is not beefy or brawny enough to be her pick, but he is brainy and witty and blubbish and by some little twist of FATE she always falls for him. After all, he is the writer, the director and the leading actor - so why not play God and embezzle some good fortune. :)

In this one he made both Lenny and Linda feel like a couple of absolute losers after his wife told him that she was moving out and her boyfriend just found out her background and walked out on her. :) Loser consoles loser and it ain't your typical pity sex. :)

The Greek Chorus was indeed hilarious. My favorite was Zeus' answering machine. :) Reminded me of a joke: A Priest and a Rabbi were arguing about something. The Priest said he was going to call God to ask Him about what to do. The Rabbi said: Use my phone. It's local. ;)

So Lenny Weinrib played God and he made it all work out for every little people in the movie. Well, if God is not actually doing it, why not a short and skinny and awkward and cowardice Jewish movie maker. :)

Fourteen, thanks for recommending it. I'll go to bed with a big smile on my face and will be smiling when I dig myself out of the snow tomorrow morning. :)

Saw this one years ago and loved it. What a summary/comment! Is this the one for which she won an Oscar? LK
