Cousins (1989)
Country: US
Technical: col 113m
Director: Joel Schumacher
Cast: Ted Danson, Isabella Rossellini, Sean Young, William Petersen, Lloyd Bridges
Synopsis:
A dance instructor's uncle marries a legal secretary's mother, and their own respective spouses commit adultery with each other at the wedding. They decide to play a game of tit for tat as merely a pretence, but actually fall in love.
Review:
The pleasant surprise of the year, this reworking of Jean-Pierre Tachella's Cousin Cousine is a delightful romantic comedy slightly outside the mainstream. Full of acerbic wit, beautiful Canadian scenery, and with charming performances from the leads, it also has a choice supporting cast with Young and Petersen on neurotic form and a tipsy Lloyd Bridges showing his comic dexterity. Schumacher's finest hour?
