Yes, this movie certainly was entertaining. I recently watched it again. Olympia Dukakis is still a revelation as the mother. Cher's performance is still effective but you can see where it's a tad thin. Nicolas Cage is almost unrecognizable. He's sooo young and (dare I say it?) hot! He certainly brought loads of passion to his role but at some point, I became distracted by his hair. All the supporting performances are still strong. This movieis certainly an ancestor to other ethnic family tales like "My Big Fat Greek Wedding". I think John Patrick Shaney should tweak it for the stage. Some scenes can be trimmed outright and others lengthened.
