A full moon, a New York City night, and love and music in the air. One of the most enchanting romantic comedies of all time assembles a flawless ensemble cast for a tender and boisterously funny look at a multigenerational Italian American family in Brooklyn, wrestling with the complexities of love and marriage at every stage of life. At the center of it all is a radiant Cher as Loretta, an unlucky-in-love bookkeeper whose feelings about her engagement to the staid Johnny (Danny Aiello) are thrown into question after she meets his hot-blooded brother, Ronny (Nicolas Cage), and one night at the opera changes everything. Winner of the Academy Awards for best actress (Cher), supporting actress (Olympia Dukakis), and original screenplay (by playwright John Patrick Shanley), this modern-day fairy tale is swept along on passionate Puccini melodies, and directed by master storyteller Norman Jewison with the heightened emotion to match.

Fall under the delightful spell of Moonstruck, the mesmerizing romantic comedy from director Norman Jewison (Fiddler on the Roof) and Oscar winner John Patrick Shanley. Academy Award 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 Mahooney. 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" (i>Today Show).

Ein sehr schöner Märchenfilm, der direkt ins Herz geht. Mit einer Glanzleistung von Cher und Nicolas Cage, aber auch alle anderen Schauspieler, die den Mond zum Leuchten bringen.
Cool

Ein echt schöner Film, wie man ihn sich wünscht! Cher & Olympia spielen ihre Rollen super, und auch alle anderen sind wie auf den Film zugeschnitten! "Ah, che bella luna..."

einer der schönsten Filme der späten 80er. Perfekt besetzt bis in die letzte Rolle. Cher und Mutter Olympia haben Ihre Oscars zu Recht erhalten...Prosecco ist ja sowas leckeres...
Na ja

Ist eigentlich ein sehr guter Film, doch für Nicolas Cage eigentlich unter der würde! (The Rock, Face Off, Con Air, Nur noch 60 Sekundn.)
