Yay! Movies!MovieCousins
I love this movie. It's a delicate subject, though... Ted Danson and Isabella Rossellini fall in love, but they're married to other people. The other people had an affair before they fell in love, though. In fact, they probably wouldn't have gotten together if their spouses hadn't had an affair.
Keith Coogan plays Ted Danson's son. He's mischievous and cute. There are some fun scenes where Coogan interacts with his grandfather, Lloyd Bridges. One of my favorite scenes is the morning after his grandfather has a date. Coogan wants to know how things went:
Bridges: Can you keep a secret?It's nice to watch the main characters fall in love. It's tough to see them struggle because they're married to other people. I just wanted everybody to be happy. Except for Isabella's husband. He was a real jerk. Ted's wife had problems, too. In one scene, she says, "If Larry got a good job, and he stopped playing that trumpet, I could be happy." She needed to learn to make her own happiness instead of wishing other people would change to suit her. Yay! For Cousins. More information and purchase: Cousins
