Cousins

Cousins (1989), directed by Joel Schumacher, is a romantic comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Larry (Ted Danson) and Maria (Isabella Rossellini) meet at a wedding and quickly discover an uncomfortable truth: their spouses have been sneaking off together for weeks.

Rather than play the scorned partner, the two hatch a plan — stage a very visible romance of their own, just visible enough to sting. It works perfectly. What neither of them planned for is actually meaning it. William Petersen plays Maria's jealous husband, Sean Young the carefree wife who suddenly realizes the tables have turned.

Schumacher keeps the tone warm and fleet-footed, but underneath the comedy is a pointed question about what holds a marriage together when attraction fades. Stream Cousins (1989) online on iFILM.
