Product Description

Fall under the delightful spell of Moonstruck, the mesmerizing romantic comedy from director Norman Jewison (Fiddler on the Roof) and OscarÂ(r) winner* John Patrick Shanley. Academy AwardÂ(r) winners** Cher, Nicolas Cage and Olympia Dukakis excel in this explosively funny tale which also features flawless performances by Danny Aiello, Vincent Gardenia and Frasier's John Mahoney. Cher is "devastatingly funny, sinuous and beautiful" (Pauline Kael) as Loretta, an unlucky in love Italian widow who finds romance through the intervention of the Manhattan moon. With her wedding to a close friend just weeks away, she meets and falls hopelessly in love with his younger brother (Cage)! Her dilemma and her equally passionate and hilariously eccentric family make for an unforgettable film you'll find "beguiling" (Time), "enchanting" (Newsweek) and "irresistible" ("Today Show").

Finally the widescreen!: At long last, the widescreen DVD as we saw it in the theatres. This American classic is a must for all DVD libraries! No one could have filled the roles better. "La Boheme" is a create metaphor throughout that parallels the ill-matched people. Norman Jewison has an acute eye for narrative and photography. Food and the street scenes of Brooklyn (including the… More reviews

However, both copies I ordered from AMazon got stuck at the same scene, skipping the following scene if I was able to fast forward it.
I returned both copies with paperwork for each order in the same box, but received credit back for only one copy.

Very Enjoyable: This was a great movie. Cher did an excellent job as did Nicholas Cage and the rest of the cast. It was funny, good love story and I laughed so many times since I am Italian and was raised in an old fashioned, Catholic/Italian home. So many things brought back cherished memories for me. Cher should have won an academy award for this… More reviews
