Cher is fabulous and infectious.Danny Aileo, and the rest of Cher’s warm-hearted Italian family are perfect.And Nicholas Cage, whom everyone complained about for being “too dry” actually works within the context of this film(and I’m not a fan).This film is just about as enjoyable and warm-hearted as they get.It’s the perfect movie for those lazy,rainy days, or just anytime when you’re in for some light-hearted entertainment
Cher plays a woman about to get married to Danny Aielo.But things change when she meets Aielo’s sullen, younger brother, played by Cage.This film is warm without being too corny or trite.The acting (particularly from Cher) is pretty great, and the whole thing just comes together to make an effortlessly engaging and enjoyable romantic comedy.It’s no masterpiece, but its a wonderfully warm-hearted film that even those who hate romantic comedies will enjoy.
