Product Description

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").

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

Warm, Witty and Wonderful
Cher won the Academy Award for Best Actress in this 1987 romantic comedy for her portrayal of Loretta Castorini, an Italian-American widow who, much to her surprise, finds true love again in her fiance's estranged brother. A complex situation, for sure, but it makes for great comedy. :))Loretta's life at the beginning of the film is rather mundane and ordinary, evidenced by her conservative appearance and going through the motions. She is seemingly content with this lifestyle and her engagement to the meek Johnny Cammareri (Danny Aiello), whom she does not love but knows is a good man. Loretta, an outspoken New Yorker, clearly is the dominant party in the relationship and, believing her first marriage was cursed due to not following tradition, insists that tradition be carefully followed this time. All goes well until Loretta goes to meet Johnny's estranged, hotheaded brother Ronny (Nicolas Cage) to invite him to the wedding. Sparks unexpectedly fly between the pair, and tradition is quickly chucked out the window! Loretta's drab existence is no more as she struggles with her situation and decides which Cammareri brother is best suited for her.Moonstruck also contains an interesting subplot with Loretta's parents, played by the remarkable Vincent Gardenia and Olympia Dukakis (who won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress). Their marriage is falling apart, sadly, and needs a magical bolt of love to reignite it. Will the enormous full moon over New York City cast that much-needed spell on them as it did for Loretta?All of the actors did a superb job, bringing lots of humor and warmth to their respective roles. Credit must also go to director Norman Jewison and writer John Patrick Shanley, who wrote a fantastic script and deservedly won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. Moonstruck also includes a wonderful soundtrack. You'll definitely feel like you're in an Italian-American home and neighborhood, and the music from Puccini's opera La boheme, especially "Musetta's Waltz," is ideal for enhancing the film's overall mood.I cannot say enough good things about Moonstruck. I love this movie so much, I actually went to the Castorini house, located in the Brooklyn Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, in October 2018 (see the attached photo). It was amazing to see it in person and be where a number of scenes were filmed.I hope you enjoy this warm, witty and wonderful movie as much as I do.
