Summary: Moonstruck
Comment: This is an awesome movie. True, a romantic comedy, but also a truthful and entertaining view of life in the United States from the Italian-American perspective. Cher and Nicholas Cage spark up the screen, and the score is wonderfully chosen to fit perfectly in the genre as well....5 stars... Love to watch it.

Summary: Finally the widescreen!
Comment: At long last, the widescreen DVD as we saw it in the theatres. This American classic is a must for all DVD libraries! No one could have filled the roles better. "La Boheme" is a create metaphor throughout that parallels the ill-matched people. Norman Jewison has an acute eye for narrative and photography. Food and the street scenes of Brooklyn (including the Twin Towers) serve as another "character" much as Vincente Minelli did in "The Clock." This is a more positive characterization of Italian-Americans to balance "The Sopranos." "Moonstruck" will warm the coldest of hearts! The Roeblings would be proud how their bridge serves as a magnificent backdrop too!

Summary: Moonstruck
Comment: MOONSTRUCK is a fabulous film.
However, both copies I ordered from AMazon got stuck at the same scene, skipping the following scene if I was able to fast forward it.
I returned both copies with paperwork for each order in the same box, but received credit back for only one copy.
I'm still ordering from Amazon with the hope that this was just a bad batch of Moonstruck copies and a human oversight that there were two bad copies returned.
So == The film is great, but there is a batch of them that are badly flawed.

Summary: New York Nostalgia
Comment:
Cher has been a favourite performer since she began cavorting with Sunny
sometime ago.....I think her best movie performance was in "Witches of
Eastwick," but so many have argued this one topped it....she was so very
New York, as was this movie...I live in Hawaii but love New York, and when
I play and replay this movie I see it again, hear it again, and smell it
again....you can't take nostalgia farther than that....
F.W. Markham, Hilo, HI.....

Summary: Very Enjoyable
Comment: This was a great movie. Cher did an excellent job as did Nicholas Cage and the rest of the cast. It was funny, good love story and I laughed so many times since I am Italian and was raised in an old fashioned, Catholic/Italian home. So many things brought back cherished memories for me. Cher should have won an academy award for this if she didn't.

Editorial Reviews:

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").
