As far as contemporary romantic comedies go, this movie is definitely one of the best. Staring Cher and a young Nicholas Cage, this film has a subtle humour that works consistently. I think it was the writing that won me over in the first 20 minutes. Cher initially is planning on marrying Cage's brother, but the situation is altered, Cher meets Cage, and they fall in love.
What I liked about this film is that Cher acts kind of butch, making her character stand out from all those willowy girly-girls that seem to be in most romantic comedies these days. The film also takes place in NYC, in the little Italy area, so all the characters have heavy italian accents, which is hilarious.
The visible age difference between Cher and Nicholas Cage, is not played with during the film, which i found odd, because it could have been part of a number of their conversations. Both actors performed very well, and I admit Cage was really cute back then.
