Jennifer Garner has returned with a film that has received some incredibly positive reviews so far. Family Switch, Netflix’s first Christmas move for December has been getting a lot of good reviews because of how interesting the film seemed to be. Although there have barely been any negative reviews regarding the film, that doesn’t necessarily mean that it has avoided it altogether.
Jennifer Garner and Ed Helms, starring alongside Wednesday actor Emma Myers and Brady Noon, have brought to life a film revolving around a family that was forced to switch bodies with each other due to an unusual astronomical phenomenon. This made Garner and Helms’ characters’ souls switch with their two children. However, one scene went a little too far when establishing the boundaries, or the lack thereof.
Jennifer Garner’s Film Breaks Boundaries
Jennifer Garner’s latest film, Family Switch, has been a success for Netflix. Despite its positive reviews, there is one scene in particular that did not sit well with the critics or the fans. So much so that they have very well found themselves disgusted by how the film could even pull such a stunt without a second thought. The scene in question follows the two children in their parents’ bodies as they are in the midst of their mother’s friends.
The daughter, appearing to be her mother, enters a room to converse with her brother, appearing to be her father. The friends that surround them all pester and tease them about how the two need to regularly kiss to maintain their relationship. However, noticing their awkward demeanor, the friends begin pressuring the two into kissing each other. The peer pressure gets to the two children, who forcibly yet defeatedly agree to the kiss. The daughter then urges her brother to just go through with it before things get any worse.

Fans Find Themselves Extremely Enraged
The scene in Jennifer Garner’s film was most definitely unnecessary. If the intention had been to make it humorous and awkward, the execution would have been completely horrible. Had the two bailed last minute, things would have been different. However, since they did not, it led to an incestual kiss that disgusted the audience.
Ok making them kiss knowing they’re siblings is gross af… they could’ve done a cheek kiss or something… that was weird af. #FamilySwitch

Sorry this Family Switch movie just got weird. Coz the siblings in the parent’s bodies just kissed. And now the parents in the children’s bodies are having a moment.
WTF.
(why do I watch sh*t movies on purpose??)

Family Switch is cute but I’m so frustrated by how badly they all messed up for each other. There was no need for the dad to dance as Wyatt during the interview or the mum to not score the goal as CC 😭 also the kiss thing was a little weird.. other than that though, cute!

It was fun to watch. Could have missed the part where the kids in their parents bodies were forced to kiss but overall a cute movie with a lovely message behind. 7.5/10 pic.twitter.com/r3G1KnZfhD— olive wright (@maggiebreners) December 5, 2023

Fans have been claiming it to be the only reason why the film was bad. It took away what made Family Switch such an enjoyable film. They have been calling it to be the worst part of the film and even wondering how it was allowed in the first place.
