Heads Up
This is a review for MOONSTRUCK (1987) directed by Norman Jewison. I am not a Cher fan and really wasn't looking forward to seeing MOONSTRUCK but found it to be a very pleasant surprise with most everyone in the cast, including the star, low keying their roles instead of the angry ethnic shoutfest that I was anticipating. A very nice script by John Patrick Shanley kept things in focus and Norman Jewison's direction had it all flowing smoothly.In the story Cher plays an accountant who does books for small businesses andgets involved in other peoples' problems while she, at the age of 38, is stillon the lookout for a possible husband.I can't think of one thing to complain about in this very enjoyable film, which makes it all the more unusual.I have no choice but to give MOONSTRUCK Five Stars.
