Product: Moonstruck (1987)
Rating: 5.0
Greatest of romantic comedies
This movie doesn't have to be driven by gags and star hype to get to the end. A tremendous script and great performances by supporting actors rounds out Cher and Cages' acting. The side stories of parental discord and search for romance complement the central love story. Vincent Gardenia and Olympia Dukakis were superb in their roles. The wave of chaos -brought by the moon- into all of these people's lives is marvelously written into parallel stories. The release of tension at the resolution is such a palpable relief for everyone that its almost a euphoric moment, especially for the viewer.
