Summary: ONE OF MY FAVORITES
Review: I never grow tired of seeing this movie. I am not sure
if it is because I am Italian and can relate to so many of the scenes and actions, or if it is the excellent acting that Cher,Nicolas Cage and the others put forth in their roles.
A love story that grabs your attention from the first act and holds you glued to your seat throughout the movie.
Tender, sweet and loving, yet tinted with such true to life raw emotions. Outstanding.
This is one movie that no one should miss seeing! Excellent!

Summary: Why Is This Not Letterboxed?
Review: I have rated the "DVD" the lowest possible rating, although I would give the movie the highest rating. Who makes these decisions regarding full screen versus letterbox? With the advent of DVD's, there is no excuse for us to miss the incredible cinematography in all it's New York glory. I absolutely refuse to buy my own copy of this movie until it is reissued, remastered and includes some serious extras. This is one of the greatest romantic comedies of all time.

Summary: Please please please, distributors : WIDESCREEN
Review: This is one of my favorite movies, but I won't convert to the DVD version until widescreen. As so many of us have already complained, "what were you people thinking?????"

Summary: Cher should make more movies
Review: This is one of my favorite Cher movies. The fact that Nicholas Cage also plays a leading role helps, too. This movie is full of passion and angst. It is about how we grow up - or not - within our families. It shows that on many levels we cause pain, guilt, and more pain for those we love most. It also reveals that among the difficulties is the chance for sweet fulfillment.This movie also has many lighter moments. The "over the top" drama is used to great comedic advantage. The characters, of all generations, are well rounded and very interesting. Because we are all products of imperfect and perhaps neurotic families, we can laugh at the familiar family interactions. I highly recommend this movie. Furthermore, I would like to suggest that Cher should focus on her acting career now that she has finished her (last?) "Good-bye Tour." She can contribute to many more great movies!

Summary: Not in Widescreen: what were they thinking?
Review: Every review here has, correctly, touched on the expansiveness of the film: in character, theme, and concept. Its an emotionally genererous movie. Its Romantic with a Capital R. The producers of this DVD must have known this; for them to have issued this wonderful film in merely a "full" screen format had to have been an intential act of film violence. A travesty.
Having said that, a wonderful film. Anyone with a minimal home theater, or who just plain wants to get maximum enjoyment out of a film work of art will wait for a wide-screen version. I am.

Summary: Why only Full Screen?
Review: Love the film. But why is it only available in Full Screen format? That's pretty annoying.

Summary: A Classic!
Review: This is a classic movie -- funny, touching, and emotional. Moonstruck is easy to relate to - the movie touches on many of the occurrences of everyday life that make us laugh and cry. The characters are charmingly played by the well-chosen cast. From the very well-known to the more obscure, every character is carefully cast with the actor or actress that seems to fit the role perfectly. If you haven't seen it -- do so! About the DVD specifically - I would have loved to see some outtakes or other better special features included. I'm also hoping for a wide-screen format DVD to come out!

Summary: Chrissy, Bring Me The Big Knife!!!
Review: Cher, Nicholas Cage, Olympia "Who's Dead" Dukakis... how can life get any better? If you watch this movie and don't have a craving for Brut with sugar cubes, Puccini and Pasta, then you are not alive.
I was introduced to this movie by my fiancee, and I now equate her loveliness to this film, so perhaps I am biased, But I am swept off my feet by this classic, and my love.

Summary: Why not widescreen format?
Review: This was a lovely movie, but I wish it had been in widescreen format. I would have prefered that, so you see what the director had in mind.

Summary: Even those hating chick flicks will fall under it's spell.
Review: Okay I admit it. I'm a chick. That doesn't mean I have to like chick flicks. I worked as a store manager of a video store for 5 years. I got up to 21 movies a week to preview for free. It was VERY rare I took advantage of this with a "chick flick." Maybe it's the Italian in me. Maybe it's the fact I'm such a Nicolas Cage fan. Maybe it's that family means the world to me. Or maybe..I'm just a sucker for fairy-tales. "Moonstruck" tells the tale of Loretta Castorini, a 30-something widow who is too practical for her own good. She has a cynical additude about love, and is very superstitious. She lives with her parents and grandfather (and his seven-or-so dogs). She has been seeing a man, who she likes, but not is in love with. When he proposes, she accepts. Before he goes on a business trip, he asks her to go to his brother and invite him to the wedding. She does, and the real story begins. As for the DVD, I'm honestly waiting for a special edition to come out before I buy it. My VHS copy is worn from so many views, but if I can get some deleted scenes and the like out of it, I'll be happy. Also, I'm an 80's child. I love 80's movies, pop culture and music. The sountrack from this movie is anything but. However, it is definitely worth purchasing~whether you're Italian by heritage or a romantic by nature.
