Review of Cousins

Cousins (1989)
8/10
Adultery with "almost" no heartbreak

Warning: Spoilers
Exceptionally winning performance by Rossellini, lifts this movie to higher levels in the romantic comedy department. Why she hasn't gotten more substantial roles is just beyond me. The movie at first seems at bit confused but as soon as the romantic attraction between Rossellini and Danson begins to surface one just float away with the romantic hope that love is this easy - of course it seldom is, but at least we can see it here on screen. I usually detest the awful trend of remaking original (often movies with another language than English) movies for the American audience, but this one is very true to the original, so I'll let it slide for once. Kudos to all in the cast.
