‘A Family Affair’ Review: Nicole Kidman & Zac Efron Find Each Other In Smart, Funny Rom-Com Where Age Is Just A Number
A review of 'A Family Affair' which reunites Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron and adds Joey King to the mix of Romcom that flips the usual Hollywood order
Nicole Kidman plays writer Brooke Harwood, a famous author enduring a lull in her career when into her life comes a much younger man, a 30-something action movie star Chris Cole ( Zac Efron) who also is the somewhat obnoxious and demanding boss to Brooke’s 24 year old daughter Zara, herself at a frustrating point in her career still forced to cater to Cole’s every whim as his assistant and failing to move up the ladder to associate producer as he had promised she might. Casting in these romcoms is crucial and fortunately Kidman and Efron had a head start as they were cinematically involved in the very different Lee Daniels 2012 drama, The Paperboy. He and Solomon are not reinventing the romcom wheel but have delivered a bright and sophisticated entertainment for adults looking for the kind of grown up movie increasingly rare, outside of streamers at least which is exactly where, like The Idea Of You, audiences are going to have to find this one.
