Loretta Castorini, a bookkeeper from Brooklyn, New York, finds herself in a difficult situation when she falls for the brother of the man she has agreed to marry.
Description
A superstitious Brooklyn widow is ready to get married again. Only this time, she plans on doing it right - even if she has to say "yes" to a man she doesn't really love. When she unexpectedly falls in love with her fiancé's estranged brother Ronny, what happens next is a wonderful romantic complication.

Substance: Another modern romance where the wedding comes after the honeymoon. Italian family in NYC plays to the stereotypes, but entertainingly so.
Style: The screenplay is actually good, barring the moral sell-out to seventies sensibilities. Cher is gorgeous, and a good actress. I loved her

A woman falls for her fiance's brother.
Okay. A bizarre Nicholas Cage performance makes it worthwhile.
