Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

summitov Having no expectations, this movie completely got to me back in 1989. But then, seeing it again around 2000 and now in 2010, it still moves me. The atmosphere, the chemistry between the main characters, the sad eyes of Ted Danson (when he's sad, not all the time of course), the shy but still uninhibited smile Isabella Rosselini can't hold back when in love, the seriousness blended with great humor (like when Marias husband after an upsetting and sad scene with Maria, calls Larry leaving a message to stay away from his wife), the music, the side stories and supporting cast - it's just a witty and intelligent (I rarely find both in American movies) story about true love. A feel good movie that make me think of it for days after I've seen it.

triple8 This was a mature yet breezy romancey involving ve,friendship,adulatory and big family/relative gatherings. Cousins I saw in the theater and there is nothing wrong with this movie but to be honest I didn't like it much when I saw it or perhaps I should say it didn't hold my attention that much. I am not sure why that is because it was an interesting movie. Of coarse I was quite young and I do believe this movie is more geared toward the adult viewing audience or at least young adult.But this movie is very well respected and features a great cast. I'd give it another chance-the big family gatherings came back to mind when I watched "my big fat Greek wedding" and as a romance goes this movie had a certain sweetness.

J-Crew Schumacher has never made a better film; this one is filled with good humor and lovely dialogue, and filmed with great love at a variety of interesting locations. All four principal characters are well-played, with Rossellini a standout because of her character's lovable good nature. A real treat for lovers of comedy or romance, with a perfect, perfect ending.

Rod-54 I am not a great lover of "art film" and I remember finding Cousin Cousine pleasant but very self-conscious and lacking credibility. This North American rewrite takes itself less seriously and is, to me at least, much more entertaining. The writing is good, the cinematography is good and the principals perform well. Of course, we begin with the ridiculous premise that the husband of the lovely Isabella Rosselini is a lecherous creep and that the more sympathetically portrayed wife of Ted Danson so insecure as to be attracted to him. But we get over this and enjoy the romp. Isabella is, to me at least, beautiful as ever and the supporting cast is terrific. Sean Young, Lloyd Bridges and Norma Aleandro are great but the quality extends all the way down to the short appearance by the plump lady who played the dancing teacher "Mrs Greenblat". This is a fun romantic comedy worth seeing.
