When there's a full moon over Brooklyn, anything can happen, and everything happens in the neighborhood where widowed bookkeeper Loretta Castorini (Cher) lives. First, Loretta agrees to marry a man she does not love, Johnny Cammareri (Danny Aiello), simply because he knows how to propose properly. Before the wedding can take place, Cammareri must visit his dying mother in Sicily. In his absence, Loretta is supposed to try to patch up the differences between Johnny and his brother, bakery operator Ronny Cammareri (Nicolas Cage). Having never forgiven Johnny for indirectly causing the accident that crippled him, Ronny flies into a rage whenever his brother's name is mentioned. He does, however, fall for Loretta like a ton of bricks. After a torrid affair, Loretta tries to avoid Ronny out of respect to Johnny, but he's just too fascinating to resist. Meanwhile, Loretta's father (Vincent Gardenia) is fooling around with his mistress Mona (Anita Gillette), while Loretta's mother (Olympia Dukakis) is wooed by a college professor (John Mahoney). These brief flings are forgiven and forgotten, but there's still the delicate situation of Loretta being in love with her future brother-in-law. A now-classic romantic comedy, Moonstruck won Oscars for Cher, Olympia Dukakis, and screenwriter John Patrick Shanley.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Romance schlomance!
Although the plot is fairly predictable and a bit thin in places there are some nice touches in this rom-com. Worth watching.

Id like to say I enjoyed it.....but I didnt
I was really expecting Cher to be as camp and sassy as ever- but instead she played a dispirited, plain Italian-American woman with a dreary life and wardrobe. ... read more »

Moonstruck (1987)
Although the plot is fairly predictable and a bit thin in places there are some nice touches in this rom-com. Worth watching.
Cher is ready to step behind the camera to direct her first movie after five successful decades in showbusiness. The Believe hitmaker has enjoyed a stellar career in both music and film, releasing a string of platinum-selling albums and picking up a Best Actress Academy Award and a Golden Globe for her acclaimed role in 1987's Moonstruck. Cher will make her big screen return in musical extravaganza Burlesque later this month (Nov10) and she has revealed her next big challenge will be directing. Read more
