Did anyone else think this film sucked? Just me? Well, consider
yourself warned. Allen plays a nebbish – first surprise – with a far too
beautiful wife (Carter) – second surprise – who can’t conceive a child.
Allen and Carter adopt a baby, and Allen becomes neurotic – third
surprise – about discovering the baby’s parentage. He finds Sorvino.
She’s a hooker but he’s convinced he can find her hidden (intellectual)
talents. They fall in love. Quel surprise. Oh, and there’s a Greek
chorus. Hence the pretentious title.
