Rating: 5.0
Off-the-charts dialogue, palpable romance...
Whether you love New York, romance, great dialogue or Cher, you'll find this movie is a must-have for many reasons... cute plot... great opera scenes... and some of the best dialogue ever written. A stellar cast of characters actors makes this plot completely plausible, while a screenplay peppered with unforgettable phrases takes this simple situation into the realm of the classics.===="Bobo, take the cart away."=====The classic love-slap line between Cher and Cage:"I love you."[slap]"Snap out of it!"===="Tell him the truth. They find out anyway."====="Yes, Mrs. Castorini, I would love some oatmeal."Don't miss the breakfast scene at the end. The cut-it-with-a-knife heaviness, that ponderous awkwardness, of this scene is not great acting -- it's real. The cast was squirming just as awkwardly as they seem to be.Oh, and the Italian grandfather with the five dogs? He really couldn't speak a word of English.
