My memory is fuzzy but wasn't Patroclus just a "friend" to Achilles and not a cousin?

bingo. they were just childhood friends.

I thought in the movie he called him cousin?

he did. that's the point. ;)

they weren't cousins.
Menoitios, a royal counsellor, sent his son Patroclus to accompany Achilles on the expedition as his friend and advisor.

I agree with you, I thought it was a great movie, if you neglect the real story completely.

Great movie from that standpoint.

Crap if you know the story though.
