As "Mighty Aphrodite" shows, Woody Allen really works best when he goes for straight comedy. In this case, he and wife Helena Bonham Carter adopt a boy who turns out to be a genius. When Woody searches for the boy's biological mother, she turns out to be an air-head prostitute (Mira Sorvino).
Yeah, it doesn't really sound like much of a story, but it is. The Greek chorus telling the story really helps the story (it's sort of like "Oedipus"). And you're sure to like the cacti. This isn't Allen's greatest movie by any stretch, but definitely worth seeing. Also starring F. Murray Abraham, Olympia Dukakis, Jack Warden and Peter Weller.
The remote control. Ha!
