Cher has as many sides as a prism
Moonstruck has such a wonderful cast: Cher, of course, the inimitable Olympia Dukakis, Nicholas Cage, Vincent Gardenia, Danny Aiello... This film about an Italian-American family pushed up against their own cultural expectations, is touching, satirical, funny, a little sad - and ultimately redemptive.Cher, a widow, feels compelled to do the right thing and marry an older, stable guy, but the one who really rings her bell is the old guy's ne'er-do-well brother. Her parents, of course, have strong feelings on the subject.Not to be missed.
