Mighty Aphrodite Ratings & Reviews
- CMoreMoviesAugust 7, 2025I 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.
