Review of Cousins

Cousins (1989)
3/10
One cliche after another...
23 August 2023
A parade of tired cliches, beginning with an ethnic wedding, complete with two oafs rating the female guests, a first dance to the theme from The Godfather, and a tiresome teen who dresses like a mafioso wanna be. The main characters have little charisma and seemed to be going through the motions.

But this is another ill conceived English language remake of a foreign language film, so the characters are just a jumble of quirks and tics that the screenwriters think will make the characters feel like real people. Whatever charm the original film might have had was lost.

This film is like fingernails raked across a chalkboard- highly annoying in every way.
