Product: Moonstruck (1987)
Rating: 3.0
Australian DVD is widescreen
Moonstruck was a HUGE hit when released in 1987, so much so that it earnt Cher an Oscar for her performance. I enjoyed the film back then, but rewatching it last week, I did not think it was that great. Very over-rated by today's standards.Cher portrays an italian woman, who is at a crossroads in her life. In fact all the characters are at a crossroad. The film explores the risks people take and do not take, in the hope of living a happy life. Just as Cher becomes engaged to her boyfriend, she meets her real soulmate.People interested in buying the DVD should perhaps look overseas. The Australian release is in glorious anamorphic widwidescreen version, whereas the USA version is pan and scan full frame (urgh!).
