Our take
A Family Affair is a glossy comedy: an assistant finds out her movie-star boss is with her mum. You get some f-word language, sex talk, tequila and wine, and a dead father in the background. Fine for 13+ who already watch grown-up rom-coms. Not a kids film
Story (may spoil tone)
The only thing worse than being the assistant to a high-maintenance movie star who doesn't take you seriously? Finding out he's smitten with your mom.
