Moonstruck

Having put it off for years, I watched Moonstruck (1987).

Oscars:

Cher, Best Actress (deserved);

Olimpia Dukakis, Best Supporting Actress (deserved);

John Patrick Shanley, Best Original Screenplay (deserved).

It was pretty good. Now I know where that twerp, Ryan Gosling, gets his moves. He copies the young Nicolas Cage.

Only, the guy that Cage plays in Moonstruck is more tortured. “You’re a wolf,” Cher tells him (he sure looks like a wolf).

Ebert review 1.

Ebert review 2 (“The Great Movies”).

Stream Moonstruck before April 1, when it’s due to expire from Amazon Prime and Hulu Plus.
