It's wonderfully written and has just the right touch of sweeping romance that you need.

Here, at last, is the kind of warm adult comedy that often eludes Hollywood an offbeat exploration of family, fidelity and the foibles of the human heart.
January 29, 2019 | Full Review… -
At times funny and clever, Moonstruck asks the questions: what does it mean to be in love? and is it ever okay to settle?

This is a movie that makes you want to sing "Boheme" and walk in the moonlight and move to Brooklyn.

You will not easily forget this incredibly robust family.

An American movie with foreign-film sensibilities, Moonstruck's depths come from their perfect balance of writing and direction.

May 01, 2017Nicholas Cage is completely miscast as Ronny and his chemistry with Cher is nonexistent, while the movie's script doesn't have that much substance to match its charm and generally effective sense of humor; even so, this romantic comedy makes for an amusing pastime.Carlos M Super Reviewer

Jan 24, 2016You could be fooled to think this would be a simplistic romantic comedy but it is so much more. Cher should have stuck to acting as she shines in the lead role, one that might have fallen flat with any other actress. Nicolas Cage is in highly intense form and has a lot of fun with the love interest role, you forget he has maintained the same over the top acting from the beginning. The film won't play for everyone, my partner could not get invested with this and left early one. When you grow up with Woody Allen you can't help but enjoy a film like this. This is a film that has a funny script and a filmmaker with great depth at the helm. Jewison is one of the great dramatic filmmakers and you can see he was merely letting the script unfold, the end kitchen scene is something straight from a play. One of the great comedies that struck gold at the awards, and deservedly so. 09/11/2018.Brendan N Super Reviewer

Aug 10, 2015Good movie about a realistic family, although I'm surprised that both Cher and Olympia Dukakis won Academy awards.Red L Super Reviewer

Jan 02, 2014Although not a big fan of Cher on the big screen, Jewison makes the most of her and chronic overactor Nicolas Cage to make nice little romance movie. It has the perfect blend of comedy and mayhem without descending into a sitcom like effort.John B Super Reviewer
