A Family Affair Ratings & Reviews
RogerEbert.com
Nell Minow
[T]he idea of a show business pretty boy who is more lonely than entitled is stale, and this film desperately needed to make it fresh.
Slant Magazine
Ross McIndoe
Ultimately, Richard LaGravenese's rom-com is a little too packed with soul-searching speeches.
TheWrap
William Bibbiani
It's almost worth watching for Zac Efron and Nicole Kidman's magnetism alone. If by 'almost' you mean 'not really.'
Wall Street Journal
John Anderson
As a parody of Hollywood excess and narcissism it is frequently laugh-out-loud; as a wannabe Hallmark Channel holiday movie -- a segue that is nothing short of baffling -- it is less than amusing.
The Hollywood Reporter
Angie Han
Family Affair's Hollywood material and its drama feel at times like they've come from two completely different films. But the lines are delivered with such heartfelt tenderness that for a moment, you might be moved in spite of yourself.
IndieWire
Samantha Bergeson
With A Family Affair, Efron picks up where 17 Again left off, and it's a delight to see this former teen heartthrob back in a similar mode.
Chicago Reader
Maxwell Rabb
Despite the A-list leads, a poor script and lack of originality will keep A Family Affair from being a hit.
Salon.com
Gary M. Kramer
This film is lazy and uninspired. The Lifetime channel delivers these kinds of romantic movies with more charisma and heart. "A Family Affair" wants to be comfort food, but it feels like stale leftovers.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
While the Nicole Kidman-Zac Efron pairing should provoke curiosity, the tired beats of this romantic (and only occasional) comedy don't rub together well enough to generate many sparks.
Variety
Tomris Laffly
Sadly, the film plays more like an artless quickie than a fully fleshed-out romance.
Observer
Emily Zemler
This fantasy where everyone gets what they want is made awkward and uncomfortable by the lack of chemistry between its stars.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
King's character has three modes: peeved, indignant and grossed out. You could almost call the movie "The Longest Eye Roll."
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
"A Family Affair" never even makes the case as to why these people should be together.
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
That's Hollywood for you, and this is, after all, a film that takes place unapologetically in a land of fantasy. When it sparkles, which is often, it's perfectly enjoyable...
NPR
Linda Holmes
There's some star power here, and some budget, and some writing and directing, that suggests interest in the [romcom] genre is picking up steam and getting good results.
Newsday
Robert Levin
The actors give it their all, but it's a movie you've seen a million times before.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Peter Rainer
It makes no emotional sense whatsoever.
Fish Jelly Films (YouTube)
Nicholas Bell
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.
AV Club
Jacob Oller
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.
Screen Zealots
Louisa Moore
A mediocre romantic comedy with no depth nor substance, this one screams half-hearted and shallow.
