Olympia Dukakis and Nicolas Cage co-star in the mesmerizing romantic comedy about a superstitious Brooklyn widow (Cher) who 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 (Cage), what comes next is a romantic complication worthy of the greatest comedic operas.
