Summary: A Refreshing Lesbian Film, One of the Best!!
Review: "A Family Affair," is an oasis in the midst of lesbian film making. It is extremely well written and well acted. It is about a girl who breaks up with her on again off again girlfriend and changes coasts...eventually she meets a beautiful sexy California Girl played by the hottest actress ever in a lesbian film Erica Shaeffer(whom her mom introduces her too, we should all have moms like that!) and just as things are looking too good to be true along comes the ex-girlfriend, played by sexy Michelle Greene...Torn between two lovers! This film is a combination of comedy, drama and sex...What makes this film refreshing is that it is not about sterotypes or girls trying to find themselves, or dealing with angst or coming out...these women are out and the issue is a non-issue...It's about relationships and all the themes we all go through straight or gay...This should be in everyones home DVD library..and it is a great date film for girls and boys alike!! Helen Lesnick made a classic in her directoral debut!

Summary: HOLY COW HAVE WE SUNK THIS LOW?
Review: (...) This movie was a failure. The premise was good, but the actors couldn't act, the director couldn't direct, and the dubbing reminded me of watching the old Godzilla movies on Saturday mornings. Everyone is so supportive, except the mother-in-law. The father doesn't speak through the entire movie except to impart the greatest words of wisdom to Rachel near the end and clear up the mess she's made for herself in 10 minutes. Typical, cliche, and BORING!

Summary: Enjoyable Movie, I'd see it again
Review: A Family Affair has everything, a script that doesn't insult your intelligence, actors who understand what acting is and what it is not, a good story with character development, and a balance of sex and humor (the two are closer in reality than most movies lead us to believe).Rented this at Blockbuster as I am always looking for films on the mainstreams edge and really this story though lesbian, could be about any group...This is a well done movie from a first time director/writer (looked up the movie on the internet for more info). Sure it is not a Hollywood production but maybe that is why the film is so refreshing..It is a great movie whatever your orientation, likely lesbians will relate to it and enjoy it more, but I think this one should be equally shared.

Summary: Cool Lesbian Film - A Definite Winner
Review: A Family Affair is a cool movie. Tells the story about a girl who has to make up her mind about love and committment. It is told through a super script and very good acting. This is a film every lesbian should see and every straight person, as we are all not that different when it comes to our emotional travels. This film is one of my favorites of the past year and in my top 5 of gay films of all time. It is simply Wonderful!!!

Summary: Straight to the point...This film is worth seeing and buying
Review: A Family Affair is a film about love, sex, romance, and the drama that can develop, but it is drama while your laughing. As a straight girl I was not sure if this film would be for me. It was, and I have to say it is one of my favorites I have seen this year. I love the characters of Christine and Reggie, the girls fighting over the affections of Rachel...Well honestly, I'd let those two fight over me any day. I especially like the dialogue between these two during the dinner scene, priceless. So straight or gay see this film it will leave you smiling and wanting more from these filmakers.

Summary: A Wonderful New Film That Should Lead The Way
Review: A Family Affair is a wonderful new film that should lead the way to better lesbian filmaking in the future. It is a well written and well acted film (that is a first in itself). Though obviusly lower budget than Hollywood productions the characters and story make you overlook their obvious budget contraints ( common to most Indies but uncommon that this film is not harmed by cost)
It is a tale about the clash of new love and the old love that wants you back, and the comedy, sex, and events that surround it..This is a movie that should be seen and seen again...I have seen it twice and the second viewing was better than the first

Summary: A FUN ROMANTIC COMEDY
Review: A FAMILY AFFAIR is another fun lesbian release from Wolfe Video. In this film, Rachel is a diehard New Yorker who moves to San Diego after ending a bad relationship. Her mother, a devout member of PFLAG, set Rachel up on a blind date with Christine. As times goes by Rachel believes she has finally found a compatible partner until their one-year anniversary when Christine begins discussing marriage and religion conversion. All of a sudden Rachel's world turns upside down as she must face her fears of commitment. To make matters worse her New York ex-girlfriend makes an unexpected appearance before the wedding to lure Rachel back to the Big Apple. This film is fresh and is full of fun and humor that any lesbian could relate to (i.e., jokes about U-Haul dating). The acting is good and the screenplay is realistic. A FAMILY AFFAIR is a testament that the quality of lesbian films has greatly approved over recent years. Kudos! Also worth checking out is WATCHING YOU, another recent Wolfe Video release that is also fun and fresh.

Summary: Purrfect Lesbian Romantic Comedy
Review: A Family Affair is going right to the top of my list. I loved the story of a girl who leaves the east coast and her ex behind and travels west to find what appears to be a happy ending in a new girlfriend only to have the ex come west attempting to get her back. A love triangle but really a struggle of one. I felt I really knew the characters as the movie's story rang so true for romance a little drama a little humor ingredients for a purrfect flick.

Summary: Film Making Nirvana
Review: A Family Affair is without a doubt my favorite lesbian film in recent years. It is not only a "great lesbian" film but a very well made movie that anyone can appreciate. Understand this is a low budget film compared to what is in your local multi plex, but the films script and acting shines, and shines brightly. This is a film about the romantic webs we weave and the sexy and sometimes comic conclusions of our acts. The story about a girl torn between two lovers is classic. And done so well it is refreshing. This is not like the gay films of the past, there is no "finding oneself" or dialogue that makes you want to scream "shut up already, and do something" A Family Affair is a treat,it is a film that talks on our level, no stereotypes just believable characters. All lesbians should see it just to be able to look at the screen and find yourself in one or more of the characters. I read in Curve the writer/director, Ms. Lesnick is coming out with a new film in 2004, an erotic drama...Can't Wait!!
