Romance. Comedy. Drama Legal secretary Maria is married to car salesman Tom. Dance teacher Larry is married to the striking Tish. Larry's uncle is marrying Maria's mother. Tom and Tish meet at the wedding and waste no time taking more than a test drive in his BMW. So when Maria and Larry become acquainted later in the day they already have a common interest. But more than that, they find they like each other. A lot.

	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"The movie is intelligently directed by Joel Schumacher (...) This isn't one of those shallow movies that's about nothing except love. Instead we get inside the lives of these people (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Sheila Benson Los Angeles Times	"What moments of genuine emotion 'Cousins' has can be traced directly to Isabella Rossellini; the rest is bustling, prettified, thoroughly bogus but intermittently entertaining."	NEU
United States	Janet Maslin The New York Times	'''Cousin, Cousine' was gently directed and featured an enchanting foursome (...) in the leading roles. 'Cousins,' by contrast, is ponderous and dull"	NEG
United States	Rita Kempley The Washington Post	"Schumacher, whose last film was the 'The Lost Boys,' avoids the cloying pitfalls of the bonbon genre in this unexpected transition from cult to commercial films."	POS
United Kingdom	Derek Adams Time Out	"The film's failure lies in its characterisation: far too many folk have been flung in from all directions, allowing little chance for the central figures to emerge"	NEG
United Kingdom	Joanna Berry Radio Times	"Intermittently funny, but still a slight disappointment from director Joel Schumacher (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
