Review: Moonstruck

Me & Steeners knew not what to expect from this movie, both recalling only ever seeing Cher in that film where she has the ugly faced kid. Moonstruck is about a widow in Little Italy/Brooklyn engaged to a pathetic but sweet hearted man; he asks her to invite his family outcasted brother to the wedding while he is gone to Italy, she falls in love with the little brother.

Things I learned: before all her plastic surgery, Cher was actually quite beautiful. Nicolas Cage, even with a wooden hand, is extremely hot.

The plot seemed to us like an play, there was plenty of symbolism about the moon, a small cast, and other family members also struggeling with their romantic relationships. Cher and & mother, Olympia Dukakis, were so believable Steeners wondered if maybe that is her real mom. My favorite part was that Nicolas Cage loved the opera, personally I've never been and don't really care (although ballet is a different story), but it was extremely romantic.

Rating: 4/5 Stars
