As awful as they say

This is the first Nicolas Cage movie I have ever had to turn off. Truly truly awful! Although the big scene where he waves his wooden hand around and shouts about how he hates his brother was pretty funny tbf

Well, I liked it.

Are you people high? This movie is great.

Cher's best moment in this movie, for me, was when she tells cage to "snap out of it!" and the 'Wolf without a paw' reference was in line with one of the movie's themes - our animal natures. Remember that recurring scene with the grandfather howling along with his dog at the full moon?

And Cher's hair didn't change by 'magic' - there is a scene where she goes to a hairdresser, to get a perm.

Many Italians embrace this film, and speaking as a man, many male friends of ours quote this film a lot. Wasn't so much as a chick flick as it was an embrace your heritage film.

This dialogue escalates to a point where Cage screams "a bride without a head" to which Cher cleverly replies "a wolf without a paw" (She actually says woof over and over). Is it stupid? Is it romantic? Your take.

Swing away, Merrill....Merrill, swing away...

I am a male of Italian descent on my mother's side and I grew up in Brooklyn.
In fact, when they were first married, my parents lived on Cranberry street,
which is a block or two away from Pineapple, where Loretta lived. And yes,
I knew some Italian girls named Loretta, but I don't remember any Cosmos.
Both me and some Italian friends from those days felt the family dynamic was
real and true. But it is also universal. A work colleague, who grew up in
Brooklyn and is Jewish, found much to relate to here as well, Same can be
said about "My Big, Fat Greek Wedding." Some emotions are universal and
transcend ethnicity. This marvelous film captures these sentiments exactly,
