DVD Reviews of Moonstruck (Deluxe Edition)
DVD Review: La Vita
Summary: 5 Stars
I have loved this movie forever. Its got real characters and real situations of real lives. Its about when we are stuck in life, fear of dying/ getting old, aging with or without dignity, feeling guilty about chances lost, moaning about life....Then again its about living but being dead inside and suddenly discoverig that you are alive,,,after all!!!!!!!!!DVD Review: mildly amusing; mostly stupid
Summary: 3 Stars
Spoiler-Alert: "Moonstruck" focuses on superficial philosophy, and out-dated over-exagerated Italian-American stereotypes. We are made to believe that the main character will agree to marry a man she has known for less than three days; a woman who finds out her husband is having an affair will dismiss it and forgive him at the moment he says the affair has ended; and a man will casually accept his fiance's sudden decision to marry his own brother. It was OK, but if I wouldn't pay any more for a copy of this DVD than it would cost to rent it. DVD Review: It's Amore
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful New York Italian ethnic love story. I like it just as it is.DVD Review: 2.5 stars out of 4
Summary: 3 Stars
The Bottom Line:
Moonstruck never feels authentic (e.g. the scenes with the old Italian looking at the moon and saying "O Bella Luna!" over and over) but it does feel weird and quirky enough to set itself apart from most romantic comedies; this may not mean it's a good film--I certainly didn't think so--but if you're sick of the usual tripe you can instead watch this unusual tripe.
DVD Review: This is my all-time favorite movie!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my all-time favorite movie. I love the story of the family and the opera music.
Description of Moonstruck (Deluxe Edition)
Fall under the delightful spell of Moonstruck, the mesmerizing romantic comedy from director Norman Jewison (Fiddler on the Roof) and Oscar?(r) winner* John Patrick Shanley. Academy Award?(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").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
