Lenny Weinrib (Woody Allen) is a NYC sportswriter. His curator wife Amanda (Helena Bonham Carter) pushes him to adopt. Over the years, their marriage hits a valley. Lenny finds little Max to be exceptionally brilliant and becomes obsessed with finding his biological mother. He finds that she is call girl and porn star Linda Ash (Mira Sorvino). While Amanda slowly drifts towards Jerry Bender (Peter Weller), Lenny tries to fix Linda's life and even sets her up with former boxer Kevin (Michael Rapaport). Throughout the movie, there is a Greek chorus which comments and interacts with the story.
This is a fun little comedy highlighted by the high-nasal-voiced Sorvino. It's a brilliant hilarious character. She has never been funnier since. She is the embodiment of the hooker with a heart of gold. I'm not as enamored with the Greek chorus. They land a few jokes but they mostly take up space. This is generally fun and light which comes mostly from Sorvino.
