At a wedding, the groom's nephew (Ted Danson) and the bride's daughter (Isabella Rossellini) find their spouses missing. When his wife (Sean Young) and her husband (William Petersen) return late, it's clear they had sex. Thus begins, at first, a platonic friendship between the nephew and the daughter. Based on the French film COUSINN COUSINE (1975) and directed by Joel Schumacher (THE LOST BOYS). I wasn't COUSIN COUSINE's biggest fan and this remake follows the 1975 film's narrative closely except it's more sentimental and its ending, less harsh and more "romantic". The film's leads, Danson and Rossellini, are immensely likable so manage to keep the movie on track for most of its running time. But ultimately, it's not a very good film. With Lloyd Bridges, Norma Aleandro, Gina DeAngeles and Keith Coogan in an annoying performance as Danson's son.
