What to Know

Critics Consensus

Despite Zac Efron and Nicole Kidman's welcome return to rom-com territory, A Family Affair squabbles with its own tonality too much to elevate its litany of clichés.

Jacob Oller AV Club Directed by Richard LaGravenese, every moment in A Family Affair sits there as lifelessly as Gerard Butler’s character in LaGravenese’s most successful movie, P.S. I Love You. Rated: D- Oct 25, 2024 Full Review Peter Rainer FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) It makes no emotional sense whatsoever. Jul 13, 2024 Full Review Wenlei Ma The Nightly (AU) The movie is what it is. It’s not going to blow your mind, change your perspective on life or inspire you to rewatch it. But in the moment? It’s fine. Rated: 2.5/5 Jul 12, 2024 Full Review Nicholas Bell Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Although it's playing with some offbeat elements, a lack of discernible interiority robs this bizarre rom-com oddity of maintaining our interests or attention. Rated: 2/5 Aug 7, 2024 Full Review Louisa Moore Screen Zealots A mediocre romantic comedy with no depth nor substance, this one screams half-hearted and shallow. Aug 7, 2024 Full Review Emma Vine Loud and Clear Reviews A Family Affair invites viewers into a lavish world and a fantastical romance that one can only dream of. Yet it’s funny, wildly entertaining, and all in good fun. Rated: 3/5 Aug 7, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Bobbie E Very predictable story. Zero chemistry between the cast. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/26/24 Full Review Kristyn L I didn't want to watch this movie because I quickly glanced at the reviews. Now, after reading them in full, I understand most of the reviews were based on a superficial topic rather than actual talent, storyline, or entertainment. So, let me rectify the errors of our misplaced society, even if just in a very small instance. First off, Nicole Kidman is beautiful and I loved seeing her in this role. It was relatable because I saw her as someone who unknowingly dissapears, forgetting what inspires them as time passes on and letting other people take the spotlight because you feel your moment is gone. Then someone comes into your life and makes you feel seen again, and they truly love the things you've done and are even inspired by you. Zac!!! I loved the subtle nod, "The Quadfather" and then talking about your chin afterwards, ESPECIALLY after reading the bad reviews, it was spot on, and also kind of sad, in so many ways. Your comedic timing was delightful and made me laugh outloud quite a few times, and the ending character revelation was a perfect description for Chris's journey throughout the film. I thought it was great character development and also love that the assistants role in Chris's life played such a big part in making a person see the error of their ways after they lose what matters to them without even realizing it. Overall a good romantic comedy, I'd definitely see it again and recommend the movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/22/24 Full Review The R What the hell happens with Nicole Kidman face in this movie? Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/17/24 Full Review Carlos T Filme: Tudo em Família Assistido: 10-10-24 Elenco: @zacefron @nicolekidman @joeyking @lizakoshy Modelo: #comedia #romance #drama Duração: 1h 54m Ano: 2024 Minha opinião: O filme não é bom, não faz agente rir, o romance não cola e talvez a parte do drama seja o melhor. Temos aqui Zac sendo um ator de filmes de ação que se acha o rei do mundo e que o mundo gira ao entorno dele. E temos a pobre Zara (Joey) que é a assistente de Chris (Zac) e sofre de mais nas mãos dele. Em uma determinado momento quando Zara pede demissão por não aguentar mais o egocentrismo dele. Até o dia que ele vai até a casa da Zara e encontra a mãe dela Brooke (Nicole) e os 2 se fletam e Zara pega os 2 na cama. Aí a casa cai. Começa todo um reboliço, Zara sai de casa e vai chorar no peito da vó Leila (Bates). Que consegue trazer um pequeno momento, mas depois tudo desmorona. Até que chegamos ao final onde todos abrem o coração e vivem filizes para sempre. Tudo no filme é mediano. Roteiro e enredo tudo mediano, poderiam ter trabalhado mais e trazido mais cômico. Vale apena assistir? Se não tiver outra opção. Nota: 4 Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review Kimberly M Zero chemistry between the characters. Not enjoyable at all. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/30/24 Full Review Dani G Typical Netflix-produced comedy, with total predictability Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/28/24 Full Review Read all reviews
