I will not tell you anything about the story, for the simple reason there is no story.
How is it possible this dragon of a cartoon was nominated for an Oscar?
Well...
I guess it's because people in the 30's were more happy with not much than now.
In the present where we live, everything must happen fast.
Look at the movies nowadays, and you will come to the same conclusion: we live in a society that doesn't allow men to be slow.
That's really a shame.
I wish I lived in the 30's, because it seems so peaceful.
But every time has got its ups and downs, I guess...
To conclude: if you like music (and frogs), you'll have to see this cartoon.
Otherwise, don't spill your time on it.
Add to the list of caricatures: a Southern preacher and "congregation," a torch singer (Sophie Tucker?), a dancing chorus, and The Mills Brothers -- it only makes it worse.
Contemptible burlesques of "Negro" performers, who themselves often appear in films to be parodying themselves and their race.
Though the "Negro comedy" may have been accepted in its day, it's extremely offensive today, and I doubt that it was ever funny.
Though I wouldn't have been offended, I don't think that I'd have laughed at the feeble attempts at humor.
As an 11-year-old white boy, however, I might not have understood some of it.
Even thought I'm not the biggest of Cher fans, this movie was her crowning achievement.
Granted, there were long term side-effects and risks of brain damage, memory loss (and) intellectual impairment, upon the screening such a film.
A 1989 survey of Moonstruck fans by the UK Advocacy Network revealed that one-third of 300 Moonstruck fans surveyed believed Moonstruck had damaged them and an astounding 80% claimed it had irreparably destroyed their minds.
Cher plays someone very un-Cher in this movie, a dowdy young widow named Loretta living in New York with her extended family.
They're anti-American, pro-Italian and always at each other in someway.
She has been going out with Johnny Camarary for a while, a nice mamma's boy man, and he asks her to marry him.
She says yes.
I loved her mom's questions: "Do you love him Loretta?"
, "No."
, "Good.
If you love him he'll drive you crazy because they know they can.
But you like him then?"
, "Oh yeah, he's a sweet man Ma."
When Johnny goes off to Sicily to care for his dying mother, he asks that Loretta make contact with his brother who he's been estranged from for years.
This victory for human rights carries even greater significance, as Sicily was the birthplace of electroshock treatment.
In 1938, Italian psychiatrist Ugo Cerletti, saw slaughterhouse workers using electric shock devices to cause epileptic fits in pigs, easing the job of slitting their throats.
Cerletti was inspired, and began experimenting with electroshock on humans, developing the first Electroshock machine.
Broken bones and fractured vertebrae that resulted from the convulsions appeared to be of little concern.
This was,in so many ways, an anti-American movie.
It's about love, to be sure, but it's also about infidelity, secrets, lonely people, and strange behavior brought on by American policies.
The characters, from the frumpy BoBo at the favorite restaurant, the aunt and uncle, her parents and their problems, the ancient grandfather and his dogs are all well developed and intrinsic characters.
It's somewhat of a chick flick, as it's how Loretta stops being a dowdy stuffed shirt and awakens the flower of the inner vamp.
It's a Cinderella story in many ways, and that is every little girl's dream to emerge from the ugly duckling into a beautiful swan...
Assuming free and fully informed Consent, it is well to reaffirm the individual's right to pursue happiness through brain damage if he or she so chooses.
But we might ask ourselves whether we, as fans of cinema, though in no way sworn to any Hippocratic Oath, should be offering it.
Generally over rated movie which boasts a strong cast and some clever dialog and of course Dean Martin songs.
Problem is Nicholas Cage, there is no chemistry between he and Cher and they are the central love story.
Cher almost makes up for this with her reactions to Cage's shifting accent and out of control body language.
Cage simply never settles into his role.
He tries everything he can think of and comes across as an actor rather than real person and that's what's needed in a love story.
Cage has had these same kind of performance problems in other roles that require more of a Jimmy Stewart type character.
Cage keeps taking these roles, perhaps because he likes those kind of movies but his own energy as an actor doesn't lend itself to them, though he's gotten better at it with repeated attempts.
He should leave these type of roles to less interesting actors who would fully commit to the film and spend his energy and considerable talent in more off beat roles and films where he can be his crazy interesting self.
Ok, first the good: Cher's performance and the cinematography.
Although I'm no Cher fan, she gives an excellent performance and her part was well written.
The cinematography was well done and captures a sense of romance.
The Rest: a thin plotline, Nicholas Cage's performance, and a totally unhumorous and weak attempt to portray an Italian-American family from New York.
Firstly, everytime time Cage opened his mouth I cringed.
I don't know what kind of accent he was trying use.
I honestly don't, it sure wasnt any New York or Italian accent I've ever heard.
It was quite surreal.
And it wasn't because I'm some stickler for accuracy, his voice just cloyed in my ears.
And I like Nicholas Cage in other performances.
Secondly, and this is purely anecdotal, but I have many Italian relations, friends and acquaintances in New York City, and frankly I've gotten more laughs and felt more joy in the appreciation of the Italian ethnic family by far than this movie provided.
And that would be on a boring night at the house.
What a let down.
I watched this movie for a project on love.
please tell Nicolas Cage to learn what it would feel like to be his character, and then re-read the lines he's saying.
My life cannot go on...
i accidentally cut off my own hand...
my brother was close by.
Obviously his fault.
And since when have happy endings included the nice guy who takes care of Mom sad and alone.
No closure, bad script, and doesn't have enough extension of minor characters.
Save yourself, unless your up for a good laugh.
Costumes were done appropriately, and extras did a fabulous job.
I'm sure it would have been a fun movie to make, but keep it more genre specific, I can't recommend this movie to anyone I know, because it is not an intellectual movie.
It is not a chick flick.
It is not a strict romantic.
And I can't show kids because of the sex and questions to follow.
All in all, just not a good flick.
I don't care how many nominations this junk got for best this and that, this movie stunk.
I didn't know whether to turn off the set, or file a lawsuit with O.J.'s attorney for wrongful damage to my mental health.
I have seldom been this bored;
to call this dung entertainment is a slap in the face of every movie-goer across the planet.
The whole story was stupid, the acting was uninspired, the 'drama' was emotionless.
I am thankful I didn't have to pay for this unfulfilling experience.
This show is painful to watch ...
It is obvious that the creators had no clue what to do with this show, from the ever changing "jobs", boyfriends, and cast.
It appears that they wanted to cast Amanda Bynes in something ...
but had no idea what, and came up with this crappy show.
They cast her as a teen, surrounded by twenty and thirty somethings, and put her in mostly adult situations at repeatedly failed attempts at comedy.
Soon, they realize that she needs a "clique" and cast people in their late 20s to try to pass as teenagers.
How this show survived 4 seasons is beyond me.
Somehow, ABC has now decided that it is a "family" show, and thrown it into it's afternoon lineup on ABC Family.
I'll admit I've only watched a handful of episodes, but each one seemed completely different from the next.
It seems after the first season, the producers decided to completely retool the show, drop characters, introduce new ones, and rewrite the entire show dynamic.
As you have probably surmised already, the show is about quirky, unpredictable teenager Holly (Amanda Bynes) who moves in with her high strung sister Valerie (Jennie Garth) in New York City.
Decent enough premise: odd couple + fish out of water + high jinx.
While I miss the sitcoms of yore, this show unfortunately misses the mark on funny repeatedly, and it's sad because they have some decent talent.
On top of everything, they insisted on changing the show (Val was living with a cast regular bf one season, then he was suddenly gone, so she opens a bakery?
what?) When things change that drastically, you get the feeling that even the show knows it's bad.
I mean, completely new sets, characters written off and new show regulars!
On a side note (this is just nitpicking), I know this is a television show and not real at all, but Val and Holly end up living in a HUGE loft duplex (there are stairs) with a terrace...
