Netflix viewers have expressed disgust over a "weird incestuous" kiss scene in a Christmas movie currently streaming on the platform.
Family Switch was put on the streaming giant last December, and stars Jennifer Garner as the mom Jess, Ed Helms as the dad Bill, Emma Myers as the teenage daughter CC, and Brady Noon as the teenage son Wyatt.
It follows the story of a family who inadvertently switch bodies after a strange encounter at a planetarium - with the parents becoming their two children.
So, as can be expected in any body-swap comedy, chaos ensues as the family gets to grips with their new situations and attempts to work out a way to switch back again.
Watch the trailer below:One scene in the comedy flick that has left many people revolted sees the two teenage siblings in their parents’ bodies and forced to kiss in front of their mom's friends at a gathering.
According to The Independent, CC - trapped in her mother’s body - enters the room to ask for a chat with Wyatt - who is also trapped in his father’s body.
One of Jess's friends tells them that "couples need a minimum of 12 kisses a day just to sustain a relationship," with another friend chiming in: "Why don’t you guys give a kiss?"
The sibling duo awkwardly stands in front of their parent's friends, with the disgruntled sister whispering to her brother: "I think we have to kiss."
The parents' friends - not knowing about the body switch - then start chanting the word "kiss," with the CC saying: "You have to do it. We don’t have a choice here. Just be a man. Do it fast."
The siblings fought back their disgust and proceeded to smooch each other on the lips.
Many viewers took to social media to express their disdain at the "incestuous" scene in a family-friendly movie.
One user on X (formerly Twitter) said the “incest” kiss was "weird & unnecessary," while another commented: "Watching 'Family Switch' and it’s not very good but they really lost me at the incest."
"Netflix’s movie Family Switch has implied incest. @netflix How did that advance the plot? And why would you put this in a holiday movie marketed as family-friendly?" a third added.
"Family Switch on Netflix. SO SO SO CRINGE!!!! VERY WEIRD TOO!!! Incredibly to hard watch," a fourth user exclaimed.
It looks like the film didn't perform well with critics too as it scored 45 percent on Rotten Tomatoes' Tomatometer, and 37 percent on Metacritic.
Family Switch is available to stream on Netflix now.
