Moonstruck - Deluxe Edition

The winner of three Oscars, Moonstruck is a charming, romantic, ethnic comedy centered around a somewhat dowdy Cher involved with two brothers. She's engaged to Danny Aiello but in love with Nicolas Cage. Her parents, Olympia Dukakis and Vincent Gardenia, have their own problems, but wish her the best. Screenplay by John Patrick Shanley. Set in Brooklyn, NY.

"'Moonstruck' is a romantic comedy founded on emotional abandon and poignant truth. Not content with one romance, it involves five or six, depending on how you count, and conceding that some characters are involved in more than one. It exists in a Brooklyn that has never existed, a Brooklyn where the full moon makes the night like day and drives people crazy with amore, when the moon-a hits their eyes like a big-a pizza pie. The soundtrack is equal parts "La Boheme" and Dean Martin, and Ronny Cammareri's feelings are like those of an operatic hero, larger than life and more dramatic..." ---- Roger Ebert
