Sun Apr 27 03:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Affleck’s Kids Deliver Brutal (But Sometimes Positive!) Movie Reviews
**LOS ANGELES** – Ben Affleck’s children aren’t shy about sharing their honest opinions of their father’s films, the actor revealed on Wednesday night’s episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” While his kids, including Violet (19), Finn (16), Sam (13), and step-twins Max and Emme (both 17), surprisingly enjoyed his latest film, “The Accountant 2,” their past critiques haven’t been so kind.
Affleck recounted a screening of “The Accountant 2” with his entire brood, where he braced himself for the usual harsh feedback. To his surprise, they actually liked the movie, leaving him stunned and questioning if it was some sort of fluke.
This positive experience contrasted sharply with a family viewing of Affleck’s 1998 blockbuster, “Armageddon,” during the COVID-19 pandemic. That screening devolved into a barrage of criticism, with his son pointing out the film’s logical inconsistencies. Affleck jokingly defended the film’s flaws, noting that logic wasn’t a primary concern during production – a sentiment he echoed in the film’s infamous DVD commentary.
While his kids’ opinions were surprisingly positive for one film, Affleck also quipped about his friend Matt Damon’s less-than-enthusiastic reaction to “The Accountant 2,” suggesting Damon’s review was minimal and lacked heartfelt praise.
