"Moonstruck" wannabe falls flat on it's tuches!!
11 April 2002
Someone I was dating brought this video over because it has all the elements of movies I usually enjoy: ethnicity, a 1960's New York setting, family, romance, etc. Well, I didn't like it & I almost fell asleep a few times during it & I wasn't even tired! There was not one character I liked or cared about in this film. It's filled with pretentious cartoon characters. Shirley MacLaine is totally unbelievable as a Jewish woman & her family's dysfunctional overload did not entertain, but drained & annoyed me. What bothered me most about this movie was that it depicted the Italian family totally one way, & the Jewish family totally another, as if all Italian people are like this, & all Jewish people are like that, & no family or person can possess individual traits that aren't a stereotype. The character who dresses up like different famous people was an idiotic, useless, & distracting idea. This was one long, boring snooze-fest.
