A timeless favorite!
I bought this DVD to replace my aging VHS version. Cher and her family are hilarious in this love story of New York Italians living on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. The late Vincent Gardenia is perfectly cast with his grim facial expression and his own serious fantasy of a little extramarital fling. Cher as the Cinderella character and a very young Nicolas Cage as her Prince Charming is skinny, has some hair, and waxes poetic on the trials of love. Olympia Dukakis is superb as the wise, yet cynical mother and the whole story will leave your sides aching from laughter and even a few tears.
