About the Film

No sooner does Italian-American widow Loretta (Cher) accept a marriage proposal from her doltish boyfriend, Johnny (Danny Aiello), than she finds herself falling for his younger brother, Ronny (Nicolas Cage). She tries to resist, but Ronny lost his hand in an accident he blames on his brother, and has no scruples about aggressively pursuing her while Johnny is out of the country. As Loretta falls deeper in love, she comes to learn that she’s not the only one in her family with a secret romance.

Moonstruck was nominated for 6 Academy Awards—including Best Picture—and features fantastic performances in a timeless romance.

About the series

Food & Flicks

The Little’s Food & Flicks series aims to offer audiences unique cinematic and culinary paired experiences. From its origins with British pub fare (“Made in Dagenham”) and Indian street food (“The Lunchbox”), the series turned to takeout during the pandemic with a mid-century picnic (“Hidden Figures”), and a fantasy kingdom soup-and-sandwich (“The Princess Bride”). Relaunching with an Italian romance for “Moonstruck,” we hope Food & Flicks provides yet another memorable way to experience movies at The Little.
