Nicole Kidman, Zac Efron, and Joey King lead the cast in the romantic comedy A Family Affair. Launching on Netflix on June 28th.
Ever walked in on a relative in an intimate moment and you really wished you hadn’t? Yeah, imagine that it’s your mother (Nicole Kidman) … with your former boss (Zac Efron). That’s the reality for Zara (Joey King) in A Family Affair, directed by Richard Lagravenese (Beautiful Creatures, P.S. I Love You). In the new trailer for the film, you can see Zara bear witness to that extremely awkward — and, unfortunately for her, painful — surprise. Upon seeing her boss and mother in bed together, Zara spins on the spot and collides directly with the wall.
PREMISE
A surprising romance kicks off comic consequences for a young woman, her mother and her movie star boss as they face the complications of love, sex, and identity. A young woman named Zara works as an assistant for movie star Chris Cole — that is, until Chris falls in love with her mother.
RICHARD LAGRAVANESE
“I saw in it a coming-of-age story for three different characters at three different stages of their lives,” Lagravenese says. “I was going through my own sort of transition into what Gail Sheehy called Second Adulthood, where after you’ve fulfilled all your expectations and you’ve been what you need to be for everyone else, and you’ve achieved something and children are grown and all that stuff, you get a chance of being who you are and the things that you lost along the way.”
