| Movie Haiku: | Romantic fantasy in which Loretta (Oscar-winner Cher) transforms from dowdy widow into passionate beauty under the spell of “la bella luna.” Dukakis (also Oscar-blessed) is her mother, whose sharp tongue keeps all the pasta & Puccini from turning into treacle. Warm embracing comedy gently lampooning Italian-American family life in Brooklyn. |
