Plot
Larry Kozinski and Maria Hardy meet at the wedding of Larry's uncle Phil and Maria's widowed mother Edie. The newly-made cousins-by-marriage begin talking before realizing both their spouses, Tish and Tom, are missing. Tish and boorish Tom finally appear, claiming Tom, an auto salesman, was showing Tish a car and it broke down. Tom, a serial cheater, breaks off all his illicit relationships, then visits Tish, a make-up consultant, wanting to sleep with her again, though she brushes him off. Shortly after the wedding, Phil suddenly dies during a large family gathering. Phil's brother, Vince, arrives for the funeral. He offers to buy Phil's business from Edie, whom he is immediately attracted to.
