The summer of 2024 has delivered the goods in that department so far: Consider the sweltering Anne Hathaway-Nicholas Galitzine romance \u201cThe Idea Of You,\u201d the disarming, post-Barbenheimer pairing of Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt in \u201cThe Fall Guy,\u201d Zendaya, Josh O\u2019Connor and Mike Faist\u2019s scorching triangle in \u201cChallengers,\u201d or \u201cHit Man\u201d turning Glen Powell and Adria Arjona into eager bedfellows. On paper, Richard LaGravenese\u2019s \u201cA Family Affair\u201d has every ingredient to join this elite list. Sadly, the film plays more like an artless quickie than a fully fleshed-out romance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    It\u2019s a mystery how little chemistry there is to be found here between Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron, two of Hollywood\u2019s most magnetic stars. In fact, their courtship and attraction unfold so ineptly throughout LaGravenese\u2019s contemporary romantic comedy that one can\u2019t help but miss the duo\u2019s previous collaboration, Lee Daniels\u2019 2012 campfest \u201cThe Paperboy,\u201d which packed more steam even in its throwaway moments than \u201cA Family Affair\u201d manages in its key intimate scenes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Written by debuting scribe Carrie Solomon, this messy film tells a multigenerational story, with Joey King leading proceedings as Zara Ford, a twenty-something Tinseltown resident with big dreams of becoming a major film producer. For now, like most early-career showbiz hopefuls, she\u2019s stuck in a lowly assistant job. Her boss? Superstar Hollywood heartthrob Chris Cole (an uncharacteristically detached Efron), for whom she seems to do everything: pick up his dry cleaning, go on grocery runs, advise him on screenplays, rush expensive breakup gifts to his multiple soon-to-be-ex-girlfriends to prevent a scene,  and so on. Not only does the job seems like a 24\/7 gig, it also isn\u2019t creatively rewarding. For starters, Zara doesn\u2019t <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>rove of Chris\u2019s high-concept projects \u2014 \u201cDie Hard\u201d meets \u201cMiracle on 34<sup>th<\/sup> Street\u201d meets \u201cSpeed,\u201d for example \u2014 and she is so over his professional insecurities. If only he would just listen to <em>her<\/em> instincts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    On the plus side, Zara has loving support from her mother Brooke (Kidman), a famous writer, at whose palatial estate she still lives expense-free. But she\u2019s unhappy, even angry, as she feels she is ready for the next step in her career \u2014 whether as an associate producer, or running Chris\u2019s company after only a couple of years of work as an assistant. (Kids these days.) For a while, no one \u2014 not even her spirited best friend Genie (Liza Koshy) \u2014 challenges Zara\u2019s privileged worldview, at least until her self-centered personal and professional freakouts become too much to tolerate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    What sets off Zara\u2019s downward spiral is her job resignation, and the spontaneous romance that sparks between Chris and Brooke \u2014 the former, a lonely man worshipped but not understood by millions, the latter, jadedly single since the death of Zara\u2019s dad more than a decade ago. Seemingly acting out of protective instincts for her mother \u2014 after all, she\u2019s seen what a despicable womanizer Chris can be \u2014 Zara complains constantly that her mom is dating her ex-boss, dismissing both Brooke and Genie in their respective needs from her. Brooke thankfully finds the encouragement she doesn\u2019t get from her daughter through a lovely relationship with her legendary editor Leila (Kathy Bates, effortlessly grounding the film), who also happens to be her mother-in-law.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    In charting the growing closeness of Chris and Brooke, LaGravenese\u2019s direction is oddly rigid and dull. Across the magical studio lots they stroll through and the private meals they have away from prying eyes, you almost beg the film to loosen up a little and let the beautiful leads organically relax into its rhythm. Instead, \u201cA Family Affair\u201d insists on staccato beats and synthetic visuals. It\u2019s surprising that famed Robert Zemeckis collaborator Don Burgess is behind the film\u2019s shallow, one-note cinematography. Indeed, \u201cA Family Affair\u201d looks so lifeless that you wonder whether it\u2019s being purposely uncinematic, out to fulfill the prophecy of the catch-all phrase \u201ccontent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The production design also leaves a lot to be desired: While Brooke\u2019s idyllic home (the cryptic location of which <em>so<\/em> doesn\u2019t look like L.A., by the way) is supposed to give off a lived-in Nancy Myers vibe with its fancy kitchen and serenely furnished living spaces, it looks like a showroom at best. Same goes for the Hallmark-card mountain lodge where the film\u2019s main quartet spends Christmas. You\u2019ve probably seen sitcoms with more authentic interiors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    In the end, everything falls into place much as one would expect. Friendships are restored (though poor Genie still gets the short end of the stick), love finds a way, and careers take off. Some of the film\u2019s inside-baseball jokes about a town obsessed with soulless sequels and multiverses fortunately land. But the biggest joke seems to be on \u201cA Family Affair\u201d itself, for wasting Efron\u2019s underrated talents and Kidman\u2019s peerless range so clumsily.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
