Summary: Bravo!
Review: A hilarious portrait of an old-fashioned Italian family and the stereotypical traits. Fine casting...especially Cher and Olympia Dukakis in their Oscar-winning roles. A first-class story. I especially enjoyed the incorporation of Puccini's "La Boheme" into the musical score.

Summary: When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie...
Review: A gem of a movie. Simply fantastic. Cher (in a Oscar winning role), plays a Italian-American widower who is about to marry an Italian guy. However, he discovers his mother is dying and tells Cher to invite his brother for the wedding while he is babysitting his dying mother. There's just one little catch, Cher falls in love with his brother (who is played by Nicholas Cage) !

Summary: nicolas cage's come-on line
Review: Whoever thought, "I want you here in my bed" would be a great come on line? But to hear when and why Nicolas cage delivers that line is the true treat. Cher shows that she truly has talent. She really has never bombed in a movie.

Summary: One of my all-time favorite movies!!
Review: I love romantic comedies --- and MOONSTRUCK is my all-time favorite. Cher does a great job in the film! Cage and Dukakis are wonderful too! I can watch this film over and over again. The music, the beautiful photography, the script, the humor ... it's all believable and has such a "ring of truth" that is so easy to relate to. The film is an adventure, is FUN, and comes as close to the "perfect movie experience" that I've ever had!

Summary: Incredible New York Talk Fest
Review: This is one of the great ones. It has some of the best conversations, and one liners ever. It's perfectly cast, wonderfully set, and the details are the gold. Cher is fantastic, Olympia Dukakis is glorious. What a super movie.

Summary: We should look at a full moon more often, who knows.....
Review: A full moon and as usual I couldn't sleep and turned on the TV. And there it was, the explanation of being weird and so human at the same time. It shows you to trust your guts and not just your head.

Summary: The Movie That I Never Forget
Review: Cher , Cage , Duchakis , music , beautiful scenes even a moon make me struck ! It is one of the most romantic film that you'll never forget. Told from the point of view of a beautiful widow who falls in love with two men , one is her fiance and the other is her fiance's brother. The dilemma begins and the end is very very beautifully surprising.

Summary: Love the movie, enjoyed the commentary
Review: Having watched the movie many times before, I still enjoyed watching it again on DVD, just to hear the commentary from the director, writer, and star. You will be amazed to hear that the studio was not going to allow Nicolas Cage to play Ronny. You will be amazed to hear how difficult the shooting of the final kitchen scene was.I subtract one star from this five-star movie because the DVD is not in letterbox format.

Summary: The best
Review: This is my favorite movie of all time. I love the part played by Nicholas Cage before he went big time Hollywood. Cher is georgeous, vulnerable, but strong. The professor who dates a series of his students could have been my former husband, also a philandering professor. The grandfathere with his accent and his dogs is precious. I find myself quoting the movie..."don't drop nasty digested food from my toosh where you eat" and "I'm confused" and, especially, "love... breaks your heart."

Summary: Great movie, but lack of widescreen version a rip-off.
Review: OK, so I've read all the reviews and I agree with all of them. This movie is simply beautiful. I pre-ordered this gem the day it was announced. BUT, imagine my surprise when it came in Standard version only! Even Amazon.com advertises it as a widescreen disc in several places. Gaah! So this disc loses two stars from me. One for false advertising (yep, even the Image preview said 'Widescreen'), and one for the stupid decision in the first place. They already had the re-mastered letter-boxed Laser disc, so its not as if they 'couldn't do it'. Especially since the same company released and incredible widescreen-enhanced Fiddler on the Roof the SAME DAY. Anyway, I've said my piece. If you never plan to buy a 16x9 TV and dislike the 'black bars' found on letter-boxed editions, buy this disc. Otherwise, don't support this nonsense. Wait for the Criterion (well there SHOULD be).
