Fall under the delightful spell of 'Moonstruck', the mesmerizing romantic comedy from director Norman Jewison ('Fiddler on the Roof') and Oscar? winner John Patrick Shanley (Best Screenplay). Academy Award? 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 fall 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').
Synopsis: Make-over comedy about an angst-ridden forty-ish Italian-American woman from Little Italy who's faced with a big decision: either marry a man she's not in love with or stay single for the rest of her life while everyone nags her about why she's not married. Just when she's about to put on the old ball and chain with Mr. Wrong, she meets a misanthropic, one-handed bakery worker whose bitterness makes her sick. Despite that, she can't get the bread guy out of her mind, especially when the full moon rises.
