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.

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.

Rated: 2.5/5

The actors give it their all, but it's a movie you've seen a million times before.

Rated: 2/4

The missing ingredient is the chemistry between the main couple. Not only is their relationship poorly written, but there is no reason to root for them. Joey King is the MVP here.

Rated: 4/10

A mostly forgettable bit of fluff that ludicrously goes on for an hour and fifty-four minutes, and which features one genuinely funny joke in all that time

These fantastic actors are not served well by this movie. It's just a pile of unrealistic contrivances. I was bored quickly with it and I recommend skipping it.

Rated: 4/10

Entertaining and pretty well done although a bit predictable. I had a hard time with a 24 year old running a movie stars' life. Maybe that is real but seemed a bit odd to me. Not to be cruel but looking at Nicole Kidman in 2024 reminded me of Jane Fonda, Joan Rivers and Courtney Cox.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

A very sweet and enjoyable, genuinely touching film. Its entertainment for sure, not to be taken seriously, just enjoyed.

So sad that good actors feel the need to go on an on screen ego trip. Shallow…. disappointing.

I didn’t think it was that bad. It definitely has a lot of cliches and I personally felt that the character of Zara is way too self-centric and selfish but it’s cute.

No chemistry, no plot, no interest, no emotion, no point of this movie being made. Just flat. I've seen Hallmark movies that were more captivating and nice to watch. I kept watching just waiting for the good part to come up because I couldn't believe Nicole Kidman would be in such an awful movie, but the best part was the end titles.
