Nicole Kidman as Brooke Harwood and Zac Efron as Chris Cole in A Family Affair Tina Rowden/Netflix“No great tryst ever started with someone being rational,” says the always-wise Kathy Bates as grandmother Leila Ford in Netflix’s newest rom-com, A Family Affair. However, instead of lifting up a genre, A Family Affair reinforces the sad state of rom-coms right now. However, in execution, A Family Affair misses the mark and often doesn’t feel like a rom-com at all. Instead, A Family Affair is just another iteration of an overproduced rom-com like December’s Anyone But You. In our hyperbolic, engagement-driven world, everything is either “the greatest” or “the worst”, and A Family Affair is neither.
