Nicolas Cage Movie:

Editorial Review:
Remember the outfit Cher wore to the Oscars when she won an Academy Award for her performance in this 1987 film? Ay-yi-yi. The actress' more retiring character in this infectious comedy leaps several psychological hurdles just giving her hair a permanent. But then the original screenplay by John Patrick Shanley (Joe Versus the Volcano) is a wonderful, gently satirical tale of an Italian-American family dealing with repression and dissatisfaction against a backdrop of cultural expectations. Cher is focused and funny as a widow who feels she should marry an older fellow (Danny Aiello), but then falls for his black-sheep brother (Nicolas Cage). Olympia Dukakis and Vincent Gardenia are perfect as her parents, and John Mahoney (of TV's Frasier) has a memorable, small role as a middle-aged man on the make who gets a lecture from Dukakis's character. Shanley's dialogue is comically stylized in a way that makes one appreciate how much words can inform an actor's performance. Taking its cues from him and director Norman Jewison (And Justice for All), the cast immerse themselves in a pool of hilariously operatic emotion. The special-edition DVD release has a full-screen presentation, Dolby sound, commentary by Cher, Jewison, and Shanley, theatrical trailer, closed captioning, booklet, optional French soundtrack, and optional subtitles in English, French, or Spanish. --Tom Keogh

Moonstruck
2009-08-26 - I saw this movie when it was first released and have wanted to purchase for a while. It was great to go back into the space in my head when this movie was first released and look at what the actors in the movie have done with their careers since then. The whole movie is well acted and great to watch. Cher played a great part and a young Nicolas Cage was a good looking guy in his youth. I really would recommend this movie as a great way to relax on a weekend afternoon. Though one thing I was curious about, Cher's father in the movie states he has been married for 52 years, but they live with his father - Cher's grandfather which would make him over 90. He is a very active 'over 90-year old!' Still this is a great movie.

2009-08-16 - I was very happy to be able to purchase Moonstruck at such a reasonable price. I had been looking for it at all the local stores as I wanted my granddaughter to see it and enjoy it as much as my daughter and I had. The tape was very good quality. It arrived within a couple of days which was also a nice surprise.
