While director Norman Jewison's Moonstruck is a romantic cornerstone, this 1994 film is often overlooked. It's a sweet valentine about a young woman, aptly named Faith (Marisa Tomei, never cuter), who chases an unknown man to Europe because the name "Damon Bradley" was once spelled on a Ouija board as her true love. With her sister-in-law (Bonnie Hunt, whose own marriage seems to be falling apart), she travels the streets of Rome looking for Damon Bradley.
And lo and behold, she literally runs into a man claiming to be Damon. Is this meant to be? Faith certainly thinks so. Robert Downey Jr. (also never cuter) plays Damon in a role that showcases his charms. He shows his quick wit in handing Faith's advances and his absolute devotion to her when the winds change. Despite the cuteness factor, this is a movie to fall in love with. Jewison and Sven Nykvist (Ingmar Bergman's cameraman) present a sun-kissed Italy so beautiful, you might be tempted to hop on a plane immediately after viewing the movie. --Doug Thomas

This is the nicest romcom you are likely to see. It's wonderfully romantic, very funny, endearing to the final scene, and set in some of the most beautiful locations in Italy. Marisa Tomei does a great job, Robert Downey even better, and the on-screen chemistry is present throughout. Billy Zane's hilarious brief appearance alone makes this movie worth a watch. The plot is simple yet unexpected and will have you glued to your seat till the very end. Brilliant.

The storyline of this romantic comedy, although realistically remote, (who wants realism where romance is concerned?) provides the excuse for a trip along part of the beautiful Costeria Amalfitana to Positano. If you have ever been to Positano, you will understand my enthusiasm for this film. The acting is good comedy-style and the picturesque setting enhances the plot, whilst not interfering with it. Excellent performances all-round.

one of my fave romantic comedies - on screen chemistry with R D jnr & M Tomei, gorgeous scenery of Italy, old fashioned romance, superstition and spookiness sets the scene, how can you go wrong???

Great Film!
Had this film on video and just had to buy it on DVD. It's such a "feel-good" film accompanied by Italy's beautiful scenery and great dialogue between very well cast actors:>

The only real cinematographic value of this film is to see how Sven Nykvist shoots Venice and Rome. Other than that, love is as superficial as it possibly can get, even for a... Read more

A good romantic comedy choice.
I bought this for my wife for Christmas, as a stocking filler, as she had forgotten all about seeing the film about 10 years ago. Read more
