Details

In Mighty Aphrodite, a charming and witty comedy film from 1995, a sportswriter named Lenny Weinrib living in New York City makes an unexpected discovery about his adopted son's biological roots. Astonished to learn about his son's exceptional intelligence, Lenny becomes determined to uncover the identity of the boy's birth mother. To his surprise, he discovers that his son's biological mother is Linda Ash, a ditzy porn star and prostitute.

With a desire to meet Linda and potentially form a connection between her and his son, Lenny embarks on a comical and heartfelt journey.
