Zac Efron and Nicole Kidman sitting on either side of Joey King who has an ice pack on her face in The Family Affair
The Big Picture We’ll never know when precisely it happened, but somewhere between John Cusack holding a boombox over his head to Jennifer Garner dancing to “Thriller” with Mark Ruffalo, audiences quietly broke up with the rom-com. It might have been the redundant narratives that discouraged us over the years, but when streaming began to build its catalogs with the help of diverse voices, Netflix found its niche.
What Is 'A Family Affair' About? While the concept of A Family Affair feels zestful and funny as a romantic comedy blending a coming-of-age story, it lacks sincerity and fails to find its voice — even with the addition of its strong Gen Z touch from King, best known for her role in Netflix’s TheKissing Booth. Setting the tone and style of the film through her eyes, A Family Affair opens up with Zara, who is every bit the stereotype of her generation.
Despite the Star Power, 'A Family Affair' Fails Its Cast When you get a movie starring the likes of Kidman, Efron, and Bates, you think it’s going to deliver everything you need. Unfortunately, A Family Affair fails its cast despite every one of them giving it their all. The interactions between King and Efron are funny, but not that funny. Instead, the dynamic feels forced, and at times, appears like the actors are not wholly convinced by their roles.
'A Family Affair' Is Another Rom-Com Lost in Netflix’s Library Close A Family Affair falls back on formulaic, archaic narratives simply to serve star power. Yes, it’s another film like Prime Video’s The Idea of You that pits the “taboo” narrative of an older woman with a younger man, which is refreshing and something more of us want to see.
