A remake of the French film Cousin, Cousine, this is a glossy romance featuring Isabella Rossellini and Ted Danson as relatives-by-marriage who find themselves falling in love during a succession of family gatherings. He's married to ice-cold Sean Young, who in turn is having an affair with Rossellini's hubby, William Petersen. Danson, trying to break away from his role as Sam in Cheers, gives one of his most likeable movie performances, while Young manages to steal the show by playing the role of bitchy cheating wife to the max. Intermittently funny, but still a slight disappointment from director Joel Schumacher.

When Larry and Maria learn that their respective spouses are cheating on them, they try to turn the tables on them by pretending to have an affair. However, they soon find themselves falling in love.
