Cher is Loretta, an Italian widow in her mid thirties trying to get married again. She finds a man she feels comfortable with but soon she meets his brother...

Normal Jewison, who has produced several great movies like Fiddler on the roof, Other people's money and the old comedy Russians are coming, directs this interference of a glowing November moon in the lives of a New York Italian family, full of stereotypical and predictabke folk. This movie won three Oscars. Cher took best actress which I don't think she deserves. Olympia Dukakis as Cher's mother plays an excellent role that got her a best supporting actress award.

Nicolas Cage is at his shouting best or worst whatever you prefer. John Mahoney ( Frasier's Dad ) plays the only likable character in the movie. An excellent little cameo for him.

This picture, though neither very romantic nor very funny does work because of some nice moments and a great soundtrack.
