see moonstruck after so many year be a reminder of how sweet and sensationally funny this film be when it first appear . who know that cher could act . who have ever hear of olympia dukakis . nicholas cage be the beginning of his career and and vincent gardenia and danny aiello be not know for their comedic talent and nor be norman jewison the director . the only really flat note in this splendid work be when the moon hit your eye like a big pizza pie and that amore and a song that be sung too many time in the movie ( once be already too many ) and that go on to have a long afterlife in popular music . cher be forgive me sensational a loretta castorini and a widow who want to be marry and do not have to be in love with the groom . aielo ( johny cammareri ) oblige by propose and offer her his pinkie ring a a substitute for an engagement ring and then rush off to sicily to be with his die mother . he charge loretta with see to that his estrange brother and ronny and attend the wedding . loretta confronts ronny and quickly fall in love with him . meanwhile and her father ( vincent gardenia ) be cheat on her mother ( olympia dukakis ) and which loretta accidentally discovers when ronny invite her to the metropolitan opera . everything work out in the end and a it inevitably do in film of this genre . in the meantime and all the actor acquit themselves admirably and the audience enjoy itself . in it way and moonstruck be how hollywood use to be at it best represent rollick entertainment with no social significance whatsoever . if they would only lose that amore along the way and it would have be perfect .
