I love this movie so much
So much average
Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
....it occurred to me that I didn't see the whole movie because it was so awful, and embarrassing. All the acting, especially Sean Young was immature. Then you had the groom at wedding 'trying' to do some kind of sexy dance, as if it was his first time trying this move and the directors didn't even let him practice. That is when I had to turn it off again. Oh, ugh...
I can't imagine why this movie has only received a rating of 6 in this database. If you read the comments, everyone liked it. There were so many neat little things going on it in I decided to look up both the director and screenwriter. I want to make sure I see more of their stuff.
Pound for pound, the best movie Joel Schumacher has ever directed. Perhaps, he should remake more French flicks. Featuring fine performances by Ted Danson, Isabella Rossellini, and Sean Young in what may be her best role. Lloyd Bridges and Keith Coogan, however, are the standouts, playing Danson's father and son, respectively. The only part of Cousin, Cousine I liked better was William Petersen's character. In the French version he is more bitter, self deprecating, funny, and sympathetic.
There are some very wistful moments in this movie, and some that are, how shall I say?, raucous, for want of a better word. Still, COUSINS is an enjoyable romance. Fans of AVANTI! and CACTUS FLOWER should definitely check this out.
