\"Viewers<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Netflix viewers have been left on the fence after watching Zac Efron’s latest movie.<\/strong><\/div>\n
We all love spending a cosy Sunday afternoon curled up watching the latest rom-com, especially when there’s a brilliant cast.<\/div>\n
But it can often be a divisive movie<\/a>\u00a0genre and while some loved\u00a0Efron<\/a>‘s latest flick, others called it ‘cringe’ and ‘boring’.<\/div>\n
Some even said it was far too alike another recently released movie starring Anne Hathaway<\/a>.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/header>\n

The film, A Family Affair<\/em><\/a>\u00a0sees Efron play demanding Hollywood film star Chris Cole.<\/p>\n

Chris has an assistant, 24-year-old Zara (played by Joey King) who’s not too impressed when her boss starts up a\u00a0relationship<\/a>\u00a0with her mom – Brooke Harwood (played by\u00a0Nicole Kidman<\/a>).Things get pretty steamy between the pair, but it sounds like it could be more than just a fling, with Brooke explaining in the trailer: “I am starting to feel things that I never thought I would feel again, not since your father died.”Over on LADbible’s\u00a0Netflix Bangers<\/a> Facebook page, some people who were yet to see the movie were asking for advice on whether it was worth the watch.But it seems viewers were divided over the plot and cast.One wrote: “I liked it. Could sit though without being distracted, But I probably wouldn’t watch it again any time soon.”While another said: “Brilliant film I thought!”And a third added: “Joey King was terrific in my opinion! The story line was cute!”Others were less than enthusiastic, however, with several calling it ‘boring’.Another said: “Cringey as fudge. It was actually uncomfortable to watch,” while a second added: “It was terrible and corny.”Others said the film was too similar to another recent movie –\u00a0Anne Hathaway<\/a>‘s recent\u00a0Amazon<\/a>\u00a0rom-com,\u00a0The Idea Of You<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"People<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The film stars Hathaway alongside Purple Hearts<\/em>\u00a0actor Nicholas Galitzine, as the pair fall in love but are ultimately forced to pause their relationship for the sake of Hathaway’s teenage daughter.Spotting the similarities between the two films, one person wrote on\u00a0X<\/a>: “Netflix\u2019s answer to\u00a0The Idea of You<\/em>.”Another added: “Wasn\u2019t Anne hathaway just in this movie.”A third pointed out: “The Idea of You<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0A Family Affair<\/em>\u00a0both coming out this year… I just find myself. suspicious. of Hollywood giving us two older woman\/younger man romcoms at the same time.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m ALWAYS suspicious when it looks like they\u2019re suddenly subverting old and baked-in formulas.Love it or hate it, we’re still intrigued to watch. You can catch\u00a0Family Affair<\/em>\u00a0on Netflix now.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
