Amazon.com essential video:
Remember the outfit Cher wore to the Oscars when she won an Academy Award for her performance in this 1987 film? Ay-yi-yi. The actress' more retiring character in this infectious comedy leaps several psychological hurdles just giving her hair a permanent. But then the original screenplay by John Patrick Shanley (Joe Versus the Volcano) is a wonderful, gently satirical tale of an Italian-American family dealing with repression and dissatisfaction against a backdrop of cultural expectations. Cher is focused and funny as a widow who feels she should marry an older fellow (Danny Aiello), but then falls for his black-sheep brother (Nicolas Cage). Olympia Dukakis and Vincent Gardenia are perfect as her parents, and John Mahoney (of TV's Frasier) has a memorable, small role as a middle-aged man on the make who gets a lecture from Dukakis's character. Shanley's dialogue is comically stylized in a way that makes one appreciate how much words can inform an actor's performance. Taking its cues from him and director Norman Jewison (And Justice for All), the cast immerse themselves in a pool of hilariously operatic emotion. --Tom Keogh

Rating:  - Moonstruck Sountrack, CD
Product was exactly what I was looking for. I could not find it anywhere, but on Amazon.
Rating:  - Moonstruck DVD
Good but emotional. Not as much of an romantic comedy as expected. Plus I am not a Nicolas Cage fan. Would rent not buy.
Rating: - You'll Watch This One More Than Once
If you like Cher, and Cage, this is a movie you will enjoy many times over. The plot is simple, the acting is very good, and the set up will keep you laughing all the way.
Buy, watch, enjoy.

"Moonstruck" is one of those films that you'll see 100 times before you die, whose lines will enter your conversational repertoire, and that can always, ALWAYS, be counted on to help pass a rainy Saturdy day night at home when you just don't feel like watching anything else. Its charm will never fail to raise a smile even if it IS the 100th time you've seen it. Norman Jewison, the director, gets the highest marks for giving us this darling slice-of-Italian-American-family-life film.
Loretta Castorini Clark is a late-thirties, childless widow from a strong Italian-American family - Dad is a plumber, Mom a lifetime housewife, and Loretta is a part-time bookkeeper. She lives with her parents in a large and wonderful old house that is supposed to be in Brooklyn (but is actually located somewhere in Toronto). Anyone who grew up in NYC and had Italian-American friends will recognize the atmosphere of the house. Loretta has been dating the same man for years - he is nice but something of an old-maid-bachelor, and he has finally proposed. She is steeling herself to marry him so she can move on, having given up on life sending her anything better than someone she likes, but doesn't love.
This being Hollywood, something better suddenly hoves into view: Loretta's fiance's younger, handsomer, and definitely NOT old-maidish brother, whose existence has been a secret until the engagment is announced. The resulting tangle of conflicts and complications make for a delightful and ... Read More

A thoroughly satisfying film with an amusing story, great acting, an excellent screenplay, music, etc. I have seen it 50 times and hopefully will see it another 50!
