  • There is a brand new Romantic Comedy on Netflix called A Family Affair, starring some big names, and this is my Movie Review for it. A surprising romance kicks off comic consequences for a young woman (Joey King), her mother (Nicole Kidman) and her movie star boss (Zac Efron) as they face the complications of love, sex, and identity. Directed by Richard Lagravenese and written by Carrie Solomon, A Family Affair debuts June 28, only on Netflix.

    The plot is absurd. A 24 year old throwing a tantrum over her mother's dating life.

    Between Zac Efron and Nicole Kidman there was a lot of plastic surgery, botox, and filler on screen.

  • @kdmil2002
    @kdmil2002 2 месяца назад +5

    I saw another comment that said the botox and cosmetic work that Nicole and Zack have had was a little distracting from the movie. I agree. Zack is becoming almost unrecognizable and Nicole needs to back off a little as well. The story just fell flat, to me. When I see Nicole and Kathy Bates, in a movie, I have high expectations and this one did not hit the mark. I could not even finish it.

      Me too. I know she's a great actress, but since the facial changes I can't look at anything she's in. I wonder if she had to get that much work done? I think I like Madonna's de-puffed face better.

    The cast is high end, but the story is so boring. It started strong, funny. But then it gets boring, every scene is the same, nothing happens. A 24 old woman who acts like that because her mother fell in love is unrealistic, sounds more like a 15 year old.
    And then there is Liza Koshy (who i think is funny) who adds nothing to the story and has the same character again like in other movies.
    Its very cheesy and feels like they mock other romance movies which are actually very good.
    Oh and may i add: releasing a movie in june with such a long and heavy christmas theme… just great 😂

  • @vacuumrrayne
    @vacuumrrayne 2 месяца назад +8

    I absolutely felt the same way during the movie, chemistry wise. I felt like there wasn’t much emotional connection, and to be honest, I was fully expecting the movie to take the opposite route of a happily ever after. I almost wish it took a more realistic ending where they didn’t end up together. The way the whole relationship is built is kind of ridiculous… and they even acknowledge it. I thought the movie was absolutely hilarious, but towards the end I was kind of rolling my eyes. The situation itself is nonsensical, but I wish they took an actual realistic emotional connection. Definitely a 6/10 for me though. (sorry for the ranting)

    I attempted to watch it twice but I fall asleep on both occasions. Couldn't agree more at a lack of chemistry for Zach and Nichole. In the 1st 15 minutes where I was awake, I just can't shake off the botoxn on both of their faces lol. Plus Nichole too tall, zack too short. Disaster match up. 😅

  • @margotk538
    @margotk538 2 месяца назад +2

    It’s an hallmark movie with A list casts. That’s all there is. The plot, dialogue and direction are dated and lazy. They do tried to convince the audience that Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron have deeper connections beyond the physical attraction. A few years ago, this will be a movie about Zac Efron and Zoe King went from hating each other to lovers…so at least this is a new take on relationships.

    I thought this movie was awful. Zack Efron's character was too unlikeable. It doesn't make sense that Joey King would keep working for him when he treats her like shit. And like you said no chemistry between Nicole Kidman and Zack.

    Sometimes, actors of a certain age and gender just want to have a fun(ny) character to play...Then, the narrative "mistake caught" would be it's too preachy and not actually funny enough🙄and so dull for a romantic/comedy, it's a fairytale vibe😊🤨

    Did nobody notice how awful Nicole Kidman looked with her face completely blown out by light at the beginning of the film? Whoever colour graded this needs to go back to school
    The dialogues quite good. However, there’s no chemistry between Zack and Nicole.
    Still, enjoyable as a background watch, unlike Axel F which I had to turn off after 2 minutes.

    Horrible. It didn't sell Zach as a love interest. Muscles aren't enough. Not believable! Nothing wrong with a fling after 11yrs BUT 0️⃣entertainment value. Glad I wasn't the only one. The dogs on NYE were the best of all. I'd like to unsee this movie, tbh

But, for a seasoned actress this was not a good choice. And, thatS my take. Sorry 🤷🏻‍♂️
