37-year-old Italian-American widow Loretta Castorini believes she is unlucky in love, and so accepts a marriage proposal from her boyfriend Johnny, even though she doesn't love him. When she meets his estranged younger brother Ronny, an emotional and passionate man, she finds herself drawn to him. She tries to resist, but Ronny, who blames his brother for the loss of his hand, has no scruples about aggressively pursuing her while Johnny is out of the country. As Loretta falls for Ronny, she learns that she's not the only one in her family with a secret romance.

"No matter how many times I watch this film, I am still amazed at how much Cher feels comfortable in her role. She is the daughter of a multi-generational Italian family, living at home. She has a job as an accountant and is supposed to marry the oldest son of a family friend. Enter Nicolas Cage. The rest is funny and silly romantic cinematic history. There are a lot of fun and corny jokes, good music, and I love it every time I view it."
"I watched it yesterday (about March 2023) for the first time since I was a child and watched it then. When I watched it as a child it was still in movie theaters as a new release. My sister and I went and watched it twice in the theaters at the time. I don't think I understood it quite so well as I do now. I enjoyed it as a kid and little less as an adult the people were selfish and negative with the "Again! You already were married!" Like she was bringing a 2nd curse on them. I liked the people more and more as I continued to watch. I really do think this movie was very beautiful and moving. I loved how Cher's character seemed to repair her own self image and kinda became a Cinderella of sorts. I liked how she saw what Ronny was as a person. I liked how Ronny's character sort of " woke her up" to herself. "
