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.

D-

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.

It makes no emotional sense whatsoever.

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.

A romantic comedy with a star-studded cast, but it doesn't quite make the most of its story, delivering a clichéd and predictable trope. [Full Review in Spanish]

2/5

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.

This is not a RomCom, and there is no "chemistry" between nicole and zach, eww. Don't waste your time.

I found it funny that the movie kept mentioning that Zac Efron’s character hated the script of the movie he had to act in. I wonder if he felt the same way about this movie.

Terrible movie, we watched it to the end hoping and praying for a plot twist to make it a better movie but it never happened. Shitty mom and grandma, shitty boss, shitty friend: it seems that everything was the main character fall, even if she was bullied from the boss, cheated from the mom, the grandma and the friend, and she also said "sorry" for it.

This is not a RomCom, it's a bag of cheap clichés. Don't waste your time.

I will always give anything a go with Nicole Kidman. By watching the trailer I knew this was going to be your typical predictable movie. It’s not going to win an Oscar, but I found it to be enjoyable. Just marked it down as it was very predictable!

So bad... borderline uncomfortable watching Nicole Kidman and Zach Effron as love interests given their > 20 yr age gap. It's like Nicole Kidman got a facelift and started staring in all these weird sexualized movies. Maybe her version of a midlife crises? Regardless, wouldn't recommend it.
