this movie be still an all time favorite . only a pretentious and humorless moron would not enjoy this wonderful film . this movie feel like a slice of warm apple pie top with french vanilla ice cream . i think this be cher best work ever and her most believable performance . cher have always be bless with charisma and good look and and an enviably thin figure . whether you like her singing or not who else sound like cher . cher have definitely make her mark in the entertainment industry and will be remember long after others have come and go . she be one of the most unique artist out there . it funny and because who would have think of cher a such a naturally gift actress . she be head above the so called movie star of today . cher be a real actor on the same level a debra winger and alfre woodard and holly hunter and angela bassett and a few others and in that she never seem to be act and she really become the character convincingly . she have more than earn the respect of her peer and of the movie go public . everything about moonstruck be wonderful the character and the scenery and the dialog and the food . i never get tire of watch this movie . every time single time i watch the scene where they be all sit around the dinner table at rise house and i pause the remote to see exactly what delicious food rise be serve . i saw the spaghetti and mushroom ( i think ) and but i can not make out whether they be eat ravioli and ziti . what be that main course . it look wonderful and it drive me nut . everybody in that family be a hardworking individual and they respect and care about one another . the grandfather wasn not push aside and tolerate and he be a vital part of the family and he be listen to and respect for his age and wisdom . he seem to be a pretty healthy and independent old codger too . loretta mom wasn not just a housewife and she be the glue that hold the family together and be a model example of what a wife and mother and and home manager should aspire to be . she be proud of the lifestyle she have choose but she do not let it define who she be . high powered businessmen aren not a comfortable in their skin a rise casterini be . notice the saucy way she say i do not have kid until after i be 37. it ain not over til it over . you get the sense that she have be the type of young woman who do exactly a she please and get her way without the other person realize what have happen . she be charm and quick witted and and very smart . what a great mom . i do not actually like loretta right away because she seem like a bit of a know it all who wasn not really a adventurous and a in control of herself a she want others to think . she could tell others about themselves and where they have go wrong and but she really do not apply common sense to her own life . she be go to marry a middle age mama boy simply because she want a husband and a sense of identity and purpose to her life . she be more conventional than her own mom . she dress and wear her hair like a matron at a house of detention and seem humorless and bored and but underneath you sense that she be vulnerable and lonely and have a lot of love to give the right man . she would probably end up make an awesome mom too . i could see in the future and a house full of loretta and ronnie loud and scream happy kid and rise and cosmo enjoy every minute of it .
