Pleasant enough light viewing, albeit rather caricatured. Some mildly amusing scenes, some poignancy. Made in 1987 and rather sexist, but perhaps that was typical for Italian-American families of the era.

Cher is excellent as Loretta, and Olympia Dukakis as her mother. They manage to look alike and both succeed in coming across as Italian.

Rated PG but the storyline is unlikely to appeal to anyone under the age of about 15.

Longer review here: https://suesdvdreviews.blogspot.com/2020/12/moonstruck-cher.html ( )

A woman falls for her fiance's brother.

Okay. A bizarre Nicholas Cage performance makes it worthwhile. ( )

Substance: Another modern romance where the wedding comes after the honeymoon. Italian family in NYC plays to the stereotypes, but entertainingly so.
Style: The screenplay is actually good, barring the moral sell-out to seventies sensibilities. Cher is gorgeous, and a good actress. I loved her mother (O. Dukakis). ( )

One of my main "feel good"-movies. Cher is lovely, and Nicolas Cage rather sexy as an one-handed baker with a passion for opera. ( )

No sooner does Italian-American widow Loretta accept a marriage proposal from her doltish boyfriend, Johnny, than she finds herself falling for his younger brother, Ronny. She tries to resist, but Ronny lost his hand in an accident he blames on his brother, and has no scruples about aggressively pursuing her while Johnny is out of the country. As Loretta falls deeper in love, she comes to learn that she's not the only one in her family with a secret romance.
