Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron as the leads of a romantic comedy?! What is it that everyone's saying these days? Oh, yeah... We are so back!

A Family Affair reunites the stars of The Paperboy for a fun and lovable summer romantic comedy (that ironically takes place partly around the Christmas holidays). The Kissing Booth star Joey King also co-headlines what's sure to be a huge hit!

In the movie, King stars as Zara, the assistant to Efron's famous actor character Chris Cole. Unexpectedly, strife with her movie star boss leads him to hit it off with her mother Brooke (Nicole Kidman), opening up a whole new set of frustrations for Zara. With the wild circumstance set up by the plot, A Family Affair really sets out to put the "comedy" in romantic comedy.

Kidman and Efron reunite onscreen after appearing in the 2012 indie film The Paperboy, in which they also played lovers. Each of the three leading stars have appeared in Netflix original movies in the past: Kidman in 2020's The Prom; Efron in 2019's Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile and his documentary series Down to Earth; and King in The Kissing Booth trilogy.

The cast also includes icon Kathy Bates as the mother and grandmother to Kidman and King's characters as well as Liza Koshy and Sherry Cola as friends of King's character. A Family Affair has such a talented cast full of performers who can nail comedy and tackle heavier dramatic sequences. It might be cliche to say, but we're probably going to laugh and cry during this one!
