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 (LAist) 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.

Roisin S One of the worst romcom plots ever. Joey kings character is wronged by everyone. Very difficult watch, writers need fired. Characters are all awful. Nothing interesting happens just follows some rich nepotism babies in the film industry whining and having awful relationships. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/24/25 Full Review Rhonda T This movie was horrible..... I love Nicole Kidman.....but she is not sexy at all in this movie....I mean the romance scenes....are totally unbelievable...... not to body shame, but she looks like the crypt keeper in this movie.... Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/12/25 Full Review Conrad C At times it definitely felt like the mom's character (and thus the romance) was taking a back seat to Joey King's role, which was an odd characteristic for a rom-com. It was probably the only way this movie could be said to stand out. Not the best performances by any of the actors, and for Efron it was straight-up disappointing. Only if your expectations are already low will this movie slide by, otherwise it'll be a little worse of a rom-com than you're used to. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/25 Full Review 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 Read all reviews
