Summary: Snap Out of It!
Review:
There's a special circle in Hell for those who decide to release great movies on DVD in TV (Full Screen) format, rather than letterboxed, or in both on one disk (as Annie Hall was done). This great, classic movie is timeless, the performances are awesome, and the group scene in the kitchen is the finest finale in recent memory. If you don't enjoy this movie over and over, even in Full Screen format, seek professional help.

Summary: Loved Cher and Vikki Carr's "It Must Be Him"
Review: Loved Cher's acting and Vikki Carr's #1 song
"It Must Be Him" Whoever picked Vikki's song
for the movie/video knows classy music from a international
superstar. Hopefully, we will hear more on Vikki Carr.Heard they mention Vikki again in "Vanilla Sky" too!

Summary: Quirky Romantic comedy
Review: This is a very funny romance. A widow approaching middle age and living with her parents in Brooklyn, accepts a proposal from a boring, but reliable man. He goes back to Sicily to tell his dying mother about it. She is charged with telling his estranged (and Strange) brother about it. They instantly fall in love. She refuses to end her betrothal, but agrees to go to the opera with him. In between, her family causes confusion. This movie is very funny and the cast couldn't be better. Although it helps if you are Italian and come from Brooklyn, the movie appeals to everyone and I find myself watching it again and again.

Summary: Snap Out Of It!
Review: This movie is one of my favorites - not only for the perfect story but that it was partially filmed in my grandmother's neighborhood. That bakery was up the block from her house but closed several years ago. I loved the characters, the sets, the dialogue... The strong bond of family rings true for not only Italians everywhere, but every other nationality. I practically wept when Olympia Dukakis's character is shown making that delicious breakfast of eggs fried in a hollowed-out piece of bread. Sounds silly, but that's what I grew up with. I especially loved Ronnie's character - his plea to Loretta after their Opera night is classic: "We're hear to love the wrong people, break our hearts, and DIE! The storybooks are ...!"

Summary: Not a wasted line
Review: The reason this movie is so good is that there are no wasted lines. Nothing can be thrown away from this movie. The DVD is nothing special, though it is interesting to hear the commentary from the direcor and Cher. I had to buy the DVD because we have really worn out the video. The acting is great on all parts, Cage is perfectly tormented, Cher is amazing, and the cast pulls off the perfect image of an Italian family.

Summary: Unforgettalby romantic
Review: This is one of my favorite films of all time! The only thing that outshines this beautiful love story is the superb acting of the incredible cast, most mentionable of which is the Oscar worthy performances of Cher and Olympia Dukakis. The DVD (sadly)is Fullscreen.

Summary: Music tells the story
Review: A highlight of this wonderful movie is the way it uses the music from "La Boheme" to tell the story along with, and sometimes ahead of, the narration (which is the way Puccini uses his tunes in the opera). When Cher emerges from the Cinderella Beauty Salon after her makeover and gets an approving whistle from a couple of kids on the street, we hear a little bit from "Musetta's Waltz" in the second act -- a song sung by a born flirt. For many the opera's emotional high point is the love duet in the first act, when in a phrase of seven amazing notes Mimi and Rudolpho pledge the love of a lifetime. We hear the same music the instant Cher and Cage's eyes meet at the beginning of their date at the Met. "La Boheme" is sublime, almost perfect; and so is this movie.

Summary: One of my top 10 movies of all time
Review: I just loved this movie - I have seen this so many times and still find myself completely in love with Nicholas Cage and his tormented, passionate demeanor in this flick. He and Cher light up the screen and you find yourself wanting more at the end. Another hopeless romantic film that you just can't get enough of.
