Moonstruck

The Daughter came home from work Thursday night deathly ill. She was barely in recovery mode yesterday afternoon, and I thought a mindless comedy might be suitable. She slept through the movie (so "recovery" was an optimistic opinion), but The Husband and I got a kick out of it.

Moonstruck is a 1987 romantic comedy starring Cher, Nicholas Cage, Olympia Dukakis, Danny Aiello and Vincent Gardenia. It's directed by Norman Jewison.
