Under the magic of the full moon, an Italian-American family tries to sort out their romantic entanglements and find happiness. Tired of being single, and longing for security, widow Loretta Castorini agrees to marry Johnny Cammareri, a man she admittedly doesn't love. While he visits his dying mother in Sicily, she visits his estranged brother Ronny in order to invite him to the wedding, and, much to her surprise, finds herself deeply attracted to him. Loretta's parents have equally complex romantic lives; her father is involved in a long-term affair, while her mother is avidly pursued by a college professor. Will they all be able to take a chance on love again? [More]

A shamelessly exuberant affair in which love touches the young, the hurt and the middle-aged.

A wholesome, filling glimpse at what happens when people rediscover their appetite for love.

Norman Jewison's film is a mostly appetizing blend of comedy and drama carried by snappy dialog and a wonderful ensemble full of familiar faces.

Most of the show belongs to Cher and Cage, both of whom are at their energetic best.

Stronger on mores than amore, a half smile for a summer night.

A warm and funny little ensemble piece that still holds up pretty darn well after almost 20 years.

Elegantly designed and acted with verve, even though the story and concept are frustratingly minor.
