Advantages: Sweet !

Disadvantages: None

Mira Sorvino's accent will crack you up, she plays her part beautifully and brings life and comedy to a character which is usually interpreted in a prejudiced way.
A pretty irregular tale, yet so funny and touching, but not in the typical schmaltzy, Hollywood way because of the unusual subject.
A couple adopt a baby, cracks appear in the marriage and husband Lenny goes in search of the mother of the child, who turns out to be prostitute and 'actress', Judy Cum, played by Mira Sorvino. He arrives at her house under the pretense of being a customer, he manages to escape seduction by saying he only wants companionship. They become good friends, and Lenny tries to find her a husband and happiness as he feels guilt at knowing the pain she went through in giving up her child for adoption, not having told har who he is.
The results of this are brilliantly funny.
Looking at the film poster, i realise why so few people i know have seen this film. It looks so boring. Mira Sorvino looks like Alicia Silverstone, a bad sign if your looking for a video to rent.
Please get it out, and don't be put off by the greek tragedy actors either, just ignore them if they annoy you too much.
Plus, there are some great home decor ideas in there too, Watch out for the clock with the pig 'f*****g the other one in the a*s'. The ultimate in good taste.
