 Moonstruck (DVD)
 Moonstruck (DVD) ... April, 2000 at MGM Entertainment / Features of the DVD: Dubbed, PAL, Widescreen / 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 of Moonstruck, 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 stylised 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 KeoghNewest Review: ... I loved the way that she threw herself into the role and let her appearance show signs of ageing. The Italian family seemed ... more ... so very realistic with all there drama, which was usually very funny.
Cher played Loretta Castorini a widow who had given up on romance but intended to marry the sickly older Moma's boy Johnny Camarerri (Danny Aiello), who asked Loretta to personally invite his brother Ronny (Nicholas cage) to the wedding. This is where the fun begins and the romance starts.
Nicholas Cage looks so different in this role but still very attractive and the chemistry between the unlikely pair is intense.

I watched this film for the first time many years ago but I loved it then as much as I do today. I think this is the first time that I ever saw Cher in an acting role and I was really impressed. I loved the way that she threw herself into the role and let her appearance show signs of ageing. The Italian family seemed so very realistic with all there drama, which was usually very funny.

Does new love always make us look as foolish as we may be feeling on the inside? Can the moon really influence us, especially when we fall in love? Perhaps…Both of these concepts have certainly come up before when romance and love are the topics. Lovers meet by the light of the moon, George Bailey offered to lasso the moon as a present for his love in It's a Wonderful Life, and all the antics of a Midsummer Night's Dream occur beneath the impassive face of this atmospherical benefactor to the lovelorn. Hearts swollen with love are often inspired to heroic actions as well as irrational ones, and the Moon has figured well in the affairs of love ... Read the complete review
