Love blooms and endures, tradition is revered and disregarded, and passion explodes beneath the mystical power of the moon . . . with jokes. 

It’s Moonstruck, an ensemble romantic comedy starring Cher, Nicolas Cage, and Olympia Dukakis! 

Italian American widower, Loretta Castorini (Cher) is about to get re-married when she finds herself helplessly attracted to the intense and seductive Ronny Cammareri, (Nicolas Cage) who happens to be her fiancé's younger brother. Now, Loretta must reconcile her heart’s desire, the pressure to live up to the expectations of her family, and the traditions of her community.  

Witty dialogue and eccentric characters play against an operatic background of infidelity, devotion, tenderness, and rapture. All of which earned Moonstruck widespread acclaim. The film received six Oscar nominations and won three for Best Actress, (Cher) Best Supporting Actress, (Olympia Dukakis) and Best Original Screenplay, (John Patrick Shanley).  

Come see it at the Senate! And if you bring along a certain someone you just can’t keep away from, don’t worry. We’ll understand.
