Review of Moonstruck

Moonstruck (1987)
7/10
Nicolas Cage
3 November 2015
Loretta Castorini, a book keeper from Brooklyn, New York, finds herself in a difficult situation when she falls for the brother of the man she agreed to marry (the best friend of her late husband who died seven years previously).

So, you know, maybe I was just too young, but Nicolas Cage did not register for me until the early-to-mid 1990s. And yet we have him in "Vampire's Kiss" and in a prominent role here, being somewhat quirky and somewhat sweet (he plays the melodramatic very well).

I will have to re-think the way I look at Nicolas Cage. The 1980s were a decade of great roles for him, and more than just a prelude to his later success. Sure, we can ignore his bit part in "Fast Times", but how can we forget "Moonstruck"?
