Moonstruck Reviews
Hilarious, romantic, & quietly lush, Moonstruck doesn't just hold up today. It's the kind of movie built to last, the kind we don't see anymore.
| Original Score: 10/10 | Mar 14, 2025
This is a weird film. Outside of some strong scenes with the family, the performances are all over the place.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 16, 2024
I expected this to be a lot better given the accolades it received. When it aims to be a comedy, it falter. When it embraces itself as a family drama, the story and the characters thrive.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 16, 2024
Moonstruck isn’t heartfelt; it’s an honest contrivance -- the mockery is a giddy homage to our, desire for grand passion. With its own special lushness, it’s a rose-tinted black comedy.

Earthy, immediate and very funny, this is enjoyable stuff.

Nutty ethnic romantic drama about an Italian-American family.
| Original Score: C+ | Apr 28, 2023
Jewison and writer John Patrick Shanley cruises it into the hearts of viewers that stands up along the other great romantic comedies in film history.

Moonstruck made me laugh, as any good comedy should. But this rare and wonderful movie did something more: It also made me smile. That's because, unlike most contemporary comedies, Moonstruck isn't a collection of gags. It's a picture of genuine humor.

Seems to me like a cold pizza badly reheated. [Full review in Spanish]

*Leonardo DiCaprio jumps up and points at the screen when the big moon is out* “That’s amore!”

Charmingly executed and hopeful, Moonstruck is a spun-sugar movie. It doesn’t nourish the mind, but for those who aren’t terribly demanding about their movie fare, it’s a sweet treat.
| Original Score: 2/4 | May 10, 2022
Moonstruck is a constant delight. I'm unhappy about a certain narrative slickness, but there is real truth in its recognition of the way the light-headed and the heavy-hearted go hand in hand.

A gem, in that theres really no other movie like it.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 27, 2022
One of the most perfect romantic comedies there is. Cinematic chicken soup for the soul.

While it leans a bit too heavily on the whimsy, Moonstruck is nevertheless a winning romantic comedy.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 27, 2020
With a sharply-written, Oscar-winning screenplay populated with compelling characters and an outstanding ensemble, Moonstruck goes beyond the typical rom-com trappings to deliver something a little more substantial than your standard entries in the genre.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 17, 2020
Moonstruck is regarded as one of the great romantic comedies of all time, but mio dio, it's truly the antidote to bad vibes.
| Oct 8, 2020
This uproarious exercise in accidental relationships, unveiled adultery, and coincidental prosperity is a grand romantic comedy that shouldn't be missed.
| Original Score: 9/10 | Sep 6, 2020
It's wonderfully written and has just the right touch of sweeping romance that you need.

The movie is pleasant, full of charm, entertaining, subtle, at times complicated, but always easy to follow. [Full Review in Spanish]
