Rating:  Summary: A Family Affair Is Not To Be Missed! Review: A Family Affair was an extremely funny and romantic film. The characters were good and the storyline was one everyone could relate too. The conflict between the ex you hold a special place for in your heart and your new relationship. And in the end you realize what we all discover the conflict is more internal than external. The film is a very sexy comedy that is realistic and has some great moments you will be laughing about weeks after you see the film and clearly one of the best lesbian films in recent years and one that you can recommend to all your friends no matter sexual orientation. (and a great date movie)

Rating:  Summary: Blah. Period. Review: A few funny scenes, and a lot of J.A.P. angst. If you're looking for a heart-warming romance, or some kind of sexual intimacy portrayal, don't stop here. Ain't. Borrow it or pay the 3 bucks to rent it. Then decide. Not to. Oy vey!
Rating:  Summary: I asked Blockbuster for my money back!!! Review: As a general rule, I shy away from lesbian cinema because the acting is horrible. There are a few notable exceptions, such as: Aimee and Jaguar, When Night is Falling, and High Art. This film does not come close to the caliber of the three aforementioned films. This is quite possibly the worst lesbian movie ever made, and that is saying something.
Rating:  Summary: THE WORST LESBIAN MOVIE EVER!! Review: DO not buy this film. I rented it the other night and it was a waste of four dollars. My girlfriend fell asleep within 5 minutes, but I actually watched most of it.
The story is drawn-out and boring. There is no chemistry between the actresses. The humor is deliberate and unfunny. You can look forward to jokes such as "I stand corrected- or rather-sit corrected." (the character is sitting.)
buying this film will only encourage these people to make more movies. It's up to you.
Rating:  Summary: Superior Movie Making Review: Everyone has been talking about this film. Saw an article in Curve magazine, read an article in LN and even a review in Variety...all said it was great...my friends saw it they all said the same...So I took longer to see it, my only mistake.:)This film is a...well it is simply a perfectly constructed film about romance..The characters are well developed as is the script, for the first time I sat through a lesbian film without sterotypes and without wondering why there are no good lesbian films because this one is better than good, it is truly wonderful. Finally a great lesbian film that anyone could see and enjoy. If you have a sense of humor and appreciate talent A Family Affair is the film for you.
Rating:  Summary: Finally A Film To Celebrate in Lesbian Cinema!!!! Wooohooo Review: FINALLY a film I can tell my friends to go see with lesbian content that is terrific. This is a gay film that should be seen by every lesbian. It is funny and as other reviews I read said, sexy and intelligent! This is not one of those low budget "art" films that put you to sleep or one where you laugh at it because it is so bad ..Though a lower budget film, A Family Affair is so good it doesn't take away from a super story and quality acting. I'll likely watch this film again, and end up buying it, but hope I get it from Santa, but may not be able to wait, ... A Family Affair ranks up there with the best in Lesbian cinema. A reason to cheer..
Rating:  Summary: Not your everyday Lesbian Flick Review: First - If you're looking for a "classic" lebian film with dramatic artsy camera angles and editing (High Art, Go Fish, etc), this isn't the movie for you. And if your looking to see lots of young (or not so young), attractive (or not so attractive) women naked for long periods of time, (Everything Relative) this isn't it either. There's nothing wrong with either style, but A Family Affair is neither. Its a romantic comedy that just happens to be about lesbians. The central character, Rachel, is on the verge of a mid life crisis, trying to decide whether to settle down with her too perfect to be real live-in girlfriend or run back to NY with her manipulative old flame. While the focus is on Rachel, a wonderful ensemble cast surrounds her. (Though, Suzanne Westenhoefer playing a straight woman is kinda hard to believe...Sorry Suzanne!) And I love a happy ending. While this film was relatively low budget, it contained none of the noticable problems of other low budget films (no boom mikes in frame, no choppy editing, etc) and flowed smoothly. Overall - it's a great first date movie, or with mixed friends, or even, can you believe it, with straight people!

Rating:  Summary: way too long and kind of boring... Review: Four words: don't waste your time. I was not impressed with this movie. The characters seemed rather bland and you could tell the actors just memorized their lines without putting any life into it at all. The story was okay, but not very interesting. I was just waiting for it to end. I'm not sure why it got good reviews on here, but that's what made me want to see it. Now I want the 100 minutes back so I could do something more fun...like watch paint dry.
