Viewers’ opinions on the film (Netflix) were mixed.
Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine, who played the lead in Purple Hearts, play a love couple who must put their romance on hold to care for Hathaway’s adolescent daughter.
Someone described the film on X as “Netflix’s answer to The Idea of You” after seeing how similar it was to the other film. There was also the comment: “Wasn’t Anne Hathaway just in this movie.”
Thirdly, someone said, “The Idea of You and A Family Affair both coming out this year… Every day, I come face to face with my true identity. suspicious.
Hollywood gave us not one, but two romcoms with older women and younger men simultaneously. “I’m ALWAYS suspicious when it looks like they’re suddenly subverting old and baked-in formulas.”
Whether you like it or not, we can’t help but be captivated by it. Family Affair is now streaming on Netflix.
