When an elderly couple decides to marry, their families come together for a wedding banquet that turns into a raucous, wine-soaked celebration. Marthe (Marie-Christine Barrault) and Ludovic (Victor Lanoux) are distant cousins related by marriage who meet for the first time at the reception; they take an immediate liking to each other and resolve that they should see each other more often. Before long, they've become close friends, but their spouses begin to think there's more going on than just good conversation. However, the more people are convinced the two have become lovers, the more the idea of taking their friendship to the next level appeals to them. Marie-France Pisier has a memorably funny 'suicide' scene as Ludovic's wife. Cousin Cousine was a surprise commercial success in the United States, where it received several Academy Award nominations and spawned an Americanized remake, Cousins (1989).

Description of Cousins [Region 2]:
Director Joel Schumacher (Falling Down, Batman and Robin) helms this 1989 remake of the popular French romantic comedy Cousin, Cousine. Ted Danson (Three Men and a Baby) and Isabella Rossellini (Blue Velvet) play two people married to distant cousins (Sean Young, William Petersen) who are having an affair. After meeting at a family wedding and being left alone while their mates steal away, the two spouses commiserate about their cheating partners, and they eventually find themselves falling in love and hiding their burgeoning relationship from the people they care about the most. A story as much about family ties as it is about finding romance in the most unlikely of places, this picturesque tale is a funny and heartwarming find. --Robert Lane

Love this movie! 
2009-05-23 - I loved this movie the 1st time I saw it, which was about 13 or 14 years ago, and nothing has changed. It was hard to find, but I'm glad I did. A great movie to watch over again and again through the years. Funny, sweet and romantic!
cousins 
2009-02-10 - This is a fun movie. It was great to see a young Wm Peterson, quite different from Grishom from CSI. Of course the story line of the two main characters was good. The web we weave while trying to deceive, they only wanted to make there partners believe they were having an affair to get even, and found themselves becoming friends, and of course falling in love, and of course everyone knew because it was always evident at the large family weddings they had to attend. Very intertwined, funny, romantic, just a good easy movie to watch.
"Cousins" 
2008-12-22 - This film is about a couple who became cousins by marriage. Unfortunately, their spouses turn their backs on them and start having an affair. The couple (Ted Danson and Isabella Rosellini)meets each other for the first time innocently at their aunt and uncle's wedding. What happens in the next few hours... we as an audience get to empathize with the choices they make in their present lives. Lots of laughs and lots of food for thought. That is why I like the old movies..
