Summary Although Zac Efron's new Netflix comedy, A Family Affair, entered the Top 10 chart on Netflix, it didn't break a disappointing 17-year-old trend for the actor. Headlined by Efron, the film boasts an impressive cast and a compelling premise. Efron plays a movie star who begins a relationship with his assistant's mom, played by Nicole Kidman.
Related 10 Best Movies Like Netflix's A Family Affair Netflix's A Family Affair has humor, romance, and an amazing cast, but it's hardly the only movie that deals with fame, age gaps, and family. None of Efron's other romantic comedies have cracked the 60% fresh threshold. However, this may not necessarily be Efron's fault. While the romantic comedies he's mostly chosen to do have had weak scripts, romantic comedies of the past 20 years have been fairly weak. The genre has only recently begun to see a rise in quality with films such as Crazy Rich Asians and Red, White, and Royal Blue.
