Netflix subscribers have been left disgusted by an "incestuous" kiss scene in the new movie, Family Switch.
The newly-released Christmas movie was put on the streaming service on Friday (December 1), 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 tells the tale of a family who inadvertently switch bodies after a peculiar encounter at a planetarium - with the married couple 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 Family Switch trailer below:One particular scene in the festive feature has sparked outrage among the audience as it 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.
When CC (in her mother’s body) enters the room to ask for a chat with Wyatt (in his father’s body), one of Jess's friends remarks to 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 then awkwardly stand in front of their parent's friends, with the disgruntled sister whispering to her brother: "I think we have to kiss."
Their 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 pair fought back their disgust and proceeded to smooch each other on the lips.
Users have now taken to social media to comment on the "incestuous" scene, with many calling out the streaming giant for adding it to a "family-friendly" movie.
One user criticized: "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?"
Another chimed in: "I'm watching that new movie called Family Switch and oh my lord the sudden incest is smth that was so unexpected and unnecessary..."
"FAMILY SWITCH marks a real low-point [in] body-swap comedies as it steals from all others before it without compunction. But you can thank your lucky stars they don’t go for the lowest-hanging fruit: incest jokes. Just kidding. Those are there. I had you," film journalist Courtney Howard added.
A fourth user exclaimed: "THE RANDOM INCEST IN FAMILY SWITCH CAUGHT ME SO OFF [GUARD]."
On Rotten Tomatoes, the flick didn't do that well as it has an audience score of 52 percent after over 100 ratings and 45 percent on the Tomatometer following 19 reviews.
Family Switch is available to stream on Netflix now.
