Moonstruck (1987)

Moonstruck (1987) — a warm, witty romantic comedy-drama — follows Loretta Castorini, a practical Brooklyn bookkeeper who accepts a safe, sensible marriage proposal from Johnny Cammareri only to be swept into a reckless, passionate affair with his younger brother, Ronny. Expect a film that blends screwball humor with operatic emotion: lively, authentic Italian‑American family scenes, sharp and funny dialogue, and moments that move quickly from comic chaos to raw feeling. The movie balances comic misunderstandings and domestic drama with unexpectedly poignant observations about love, longing, fidelity and fate. Watching Moonstruck you’ll laugh at the family bickering and eccentric relatives, feel the heat of an irresistible attraction that upends a steady life, and be touched by bittersweet, human moments that linger after the credits. It’s a sensual, character‑driven story with vivid performances and a romantic, slightly magical New York atmosphere — equal parts funny, tender and emotionally honest.
