Summary: charming and heart-warming
Review: Rosselini glows and Danson is surprisingly effective in this adaption of the French classic, the score is especially haunting

Summary: You make me feel like Danson
Review: Ten years ago I saw COUSINS at the movies and wondered why, after the first wedding scene, how William Peterson got invited to the second wedding in the film. Lead actor Ted Danson does a good job in COUSINS and his performance alone makes it worth seeing, if only on cable TV. Danson could have played it safe in his career outside of "Cheers", playing only Sam Malone-type characters(which he does in A FINE MESS). But in work such as SOMETHING ABOUT AMELIA and, in this case, COUSINS, he's willing to challenge his fans with, to say the least, controversial subject matter. Despite the premise, COUSINS beyond the kissin' is not too compelling, except for the late, loony Lloyd Bridges, the above-mentioned Peterson, and of course Ted Danson. Give COUSINS a try on cable TV; perhaps you will like it more than I did. But if you don't, at least you will not have travelled to a theatre and spent money, as I did, to find that out.

Summary: Superb and sweet romance
Review: This is one of those incredibly charming,disarmingly sweet, and totally touching comedic romances that you can watch over and over and over again- and still get that warm and fuzzy feeling inside.The plot is pretty typical, but the entire cast(Isabella and Ted have GREAT chemistry, the dialogue, and just the entire atmosphere of the thing make it work-big time.They just don't make too many romantic comedies like this anymore.Even if you hate the genre, but are just in the mood for something light, I definately recommend this sweet little gem!

Summary: Laughed, cried, and have seen it again and again and AGAIN!!
Review: This movie is exactly what I need when I'm ho-humming about what video to watch. It's worked every time. If you like 'Sliding Doors' and 'Sense&Sensibility' (two of my other favorites) try this, you'll probably enjoy it. There are lots of layers to this one too. Ted Danson does an incredible acting job, though it may take a repeat viewing to kick the habit of seeing him as "Sam." Isabella Rosellini personifies beauty (as always)and effectively portrays an unhappy but loyal-'til-the-end wife. And Lloyd Bridges is fantastic, cast as Danson's father. This film is all about extended families, and marriages, and the intertwined inner-workings of the two. Sean Young's outfits are a little cheesy, but fit her character. And at times the film is loudly representative of the 1980's. But it's largely a feel-good movie where what you want to have happen happens and what you don't want to have happen only happens a little.

Summary: THIS IS A MUST SEE MOVIE
Review: This movie is such a touching tender movie. Granted it is based on an adulterous affair, but that element is overshadowed by the love you can feel coming through the characters. I don't think I have ever seen Ted Danson act finer than this. It shows he has true acting range. Isabella, nothing needs to be said about her other than she has once again has proven herself a true star. As much as you would love to hate Sean Young and William Peterson, you can't help but grow to like them, as you watch their characters develop.Excellent acting job on both their parts. The settings are beautiful, the directing was wonderful. I highly recommend this movie to anyone that wants to feel good about and believe in the power of true love. BRAVO to the entire cast of tis amazingly sweet movie!!!!

Summary: Joel Schumacher's worst misfire
Review: While I have great respect for the director of St. Elmo's Fire and A Time to Kill, this box-office failure is truly a weak, meandering melodrama that does not deserve to be watched. While the plot may not be the worst part of the film, the saccharine aloofness with which the subject matter is treated is enough to bore and disappoint anyone who has seen at least one good romantic comedy in his or her life. The last five minutes of the movie may be redeemed somewhat by a lyrical musical score and a few beautiful scenes in Schumacher's usual style; however, you are still most likely to leave the room in an empty mood of deep disappointment. If you don't find The Lost Boys, Batman & Robin and 8mm sufficient proof that even the creator of some essential movies of the last two decades can have his dark hours, see this movie, and it is almost guaranteed that you'll change your mind. Otherwise, watch out and see Falling Down instead.
