Ravioli Romance

Certain stars stand out in almost anything they do. Cher perhaps like Liza Minnelli does very few movies but is a stand-out. She has real star power. In this movie we see how and why. She really possesses that magnetism, that firefly glow that very fews stars have, which is why they come and go. Cher, as they say, is a real keeper. This picture has a lot going for it. The entire cast has that eccentric, ethnic dignity we all love and crave. They are real. Compare this to the "Century City" school of comedy with the rich stars playing rich professionals, that is, films with the likes of Steve Martin and Diane Keaton, for example. It's wonder bread in a Mercedes. Here, in contrast, we have the classic Italian types on the sidewalks of New York. The dialog is witty, the faces have character, even the house has soul. Cage is terrific, looking a bit like his hero, Elvis Presley. Jewison, the director, deserves a lot of credit for keeping the writer's script as is, full of little eccentricities, verbal bumps and rough spots; it's a script full of life.

One of my favorites!

I love this movie & have seen it so many times I can't even count! I've worn out my VHS & really needed it on DVD. This was a great edition that came with some wonderful recipes too! This movie is so much fun...Cher & Cage's best performances ever...not to mention Dukakis, Gardenia and so many others. This is such a wonderful, romantic movie & the sountrack is magnificent...be sure to get that as well!!!

That's Amore!

Moonstruck tells the story of Loretta Castorini (Cher) and her entanglement with the brother of her fiancé, Ronny Cammareri (Nicolos Cage). The movie is set in a heavily Italian family and neighborhood. The main story follows Loretta as she struggles with her attraction to Ronny while trying to remain faithful to her fiancé. There is also a sub-plot regarding her parents and marital infidelity. While this may sound kind of raunchy on the surface, the tone is very tongue-in-cheek and it's generally more of a good natured romp than it is hard core salacious.

This movie is one of those rare instances where every individual aspect comes together to form something special. Let's start with the music. Most often, you barely notice a movie's soundtrack but from the moment Dean Martin's "That's Amore" begins, the music sets the perfect tone for this romantic comedy with a distinctive Italian American flavor. Next up, we have the cast. I'll be honest, I'm not a fan of either Cher or Nicolas Cage but they are both excellent here. And the supporting cast with the likes of Danny Aiello, Vincent Gardenia, and Olympia Dukakis all seem as though they were born to play their respective parts. The script features razor sharp banter between the characters and many great character moments to make us care what happens. Put all of these pieces together with a story that is silly, yet works perfectly, and you have a terrific movie.

In short, Moonstruck is one of the funniest romantic comedies you can hope to see and it has a great heart. I would recommend it to one and all.
