Here are some customer reviews of
Moonstruck
: 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."
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.
It's hard to imagine Cher acting, much less acting well, but this is a fantastic movie. It's so human, dealing with very real emotions in a very touching way. It's not sappy. People in the movie are not perfect and you don't get one of those impossible Hollywood endings. At the same time, the ending is totally believable. Nicholas Cage is great, as is Olympia Dukakis. This movie has staying power, unlike a lot of glossier movies that made bigger splashes. You'll remember it for years.
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!
This is my 10th time screening this incredible movie and now I have the option of buying it in DVD. Bravo toCher and Norman Jewison and Ms. Dukakis
