It’s as if director Warren Fischer has forgotten to write jokes in his script. No one says anything remotely humorous; instead there’s just a parade of lowest-common-denominator gags...

One of my favorite things is the audio description, which makes it a point to mention Zac Efron’s hotness as much as possible.Another winning combination from Liz gutman and Jaime Lamchick.

We watch the characters scampering around, going through the motions in a familiar way, but the laughs are few and far between, the tension that one would expect of a farce curiously absent.

A Family Affair has the heart but could do with a few more laughs though what humour is here is funny.

Starring British comedian Joe Wilkinson, A Family Affair has a few funny moments, but they don't make up for the weak plot & characters.

A Family Affair is the culmination of decades of absurdist comedy, and its execution is a ridiculous set of events that lacks explosive consequences but is overflowing with delicious drama.

As a big fan of Joe Wilkinson, I had high hopes for this movie, but it just failed to pay off any of the set ups in anything close to a satisfying way. Any tension created in the set up was lost far too quickly after. There was much misunderstanding, but no resultant drama or comedy. I don't recall laughing once. The scenario could have led to much farce, but instead just delivered nonsense instead. The acting was good, but the script they had to perform was terrible.

Could only watch 15 mins before i had to turn it off. Not funny. Just a bit boring. Acting is poor too.

Joey King was the only bit of com in this rom-com for me. No chemistry between efron and kidman. The overdone plastic surgery and fillers left me more distracted than able to even concentrate on the story line sadly. Efron apparently had major reconstructive jaw surgery due to an accident a few years ago, but kidman looked sickly with stringy hair. It was hard to watch.
