Moonstruck (1987)
5/10
Meh! I think it's highly overpraised.
19 February 2015
(Credit goes to IMDb) Loretta Castorini, a book keeper from Brooklyn, New York, finds herself in a difficult situation when she falls for the brother of the man she agreed to marry (the best friend of her late husband who died seven years previously).

I'm one of the few that don't get it. Despite the wonderful cast, I never got the appeal of this movie. The style has always gotten on my nerves, and it's not my type of romance. I didn't laugh, didn't smile very much, and the enjoyment is nullified by Cher's annoying performance. I thought she overdid it, lacking chemistry with Cage. I'm a big Cage fan, but I didn't care for his performance here. Dukakis & Aiello add charm to their parts, and I thought they were more entertaining than Cher and Cage! Lots of people love it, so It's probably just me. I don't care for it.

5.3/10
