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 Rachel Wagner Rachel's Reviews (YouTube) No chemistry between the leads. Mar 28, 2025 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.

Kyle M A nicely cast rom-com that remains formulaically half-full rather than pursuing potential slapstick amusement, fueled by King’s comedic snarky deliverance supported by Bates’ welcoming shoulder presence, all while Efron and Kidman’s chemistry only feels unenthusiastically coerced to victimize shame. (B-) Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/12/25 Full Review Lucas A Decent flick. The cast helps carry this across the finish line. Kathy Bates is a great and unexpected part of this. Joey King stands out throughout this film as hilarious and delivers a stellar performance. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/25 Full Review Heather H Cute, fun movie! Good for when you need something light hearted. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/25 Full Review Bethanie H Couldn’t even make it through half of the film, it laxked any kind of substance. I can’t believe the actors involved agreed to do this. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/25/25 Full Review chandler b Despite being predictable, 〈A family affair〉did bring up something that Hollywood doesn't touch or portray very often. The legendary Emma Thompson said that it's always about younger female falling for the older men, and now 〈A family affair〉proved that female being the mature one can still make the magic work. Watching a loving mother who's also a very successful woman falling in love with a "A-little douche but still nice" guy after a ten-year long sorrow and heartbreak is something I personally love to see. Nicole Kidman is just as good as always, Joey King is surprisingly good playing this role (Her acting skill was already pretty good), and Zac Afron proved he's more than a hot guy, he can do this and a little beyond my expectation. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/23/25 Full Review Joey M I thought this would be a great movie considering the actors involved. Boy was I wrong. I could barely make it though 1/2 the film and finally gave up. The plot, acting, and predictability was not good. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/21/25 Full Review Read all reviews
