“You’re not Jack and Rose, get out of the car!”
This line from “A Family Affair” trailer totally cracked us up, where a young woman yells at her mom for bidding a wistful goodbye to her new boyfriend after their car ride ends.
The upcoming Netflix romantic comedy brings viewers a fresh onscreen pair—Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron. Joey King plays Zara Ford, who is shocked to find out that her mom Brooke (Nicole Kidman) is having an affair with her boss Chris (Zac Efron). Zara comically struggles to accept the new romance blooming between the unlikely pair. Will she accept it or scheme to break them up? That seems to be the premise from the trailer.
It’s been a while since viewers have seen either Nicole Kidman or Zac Efron headline a romantic comedy. Nicole’s last role was of a woman navigating loss and grief in the somber drama series “Expats,” while Zac was in the buddy-comedy “Ricky Stanicky.” The age gap between the lead actors has already prompted comparisons from online viewers to Anne Hathaway’s romantic movie “The Idea of You,” which is about a single mother falling for a younger singer. However, the trailer for “A Family Affair” promises to be much more comical in nature.
Nicole Kidman and Joey King make an endearing mother-daughter duo in the brief two-minute teaser, although viewers will have to watch the movie to find out about the romantic chemistry between Nicole and Zac.
“The Family Affair” will be streaming on Netflix from June 28. You can watch the trailer on YouTube or it’s also embedded below.
