Movie Review

Michael Douglas and Kirk Douglas co-star for the first time in their long and respected careers in It Runs in the Family, a movie that wouldn't be nearly as decent if not for the historic duo.It Runs in the Family is about three generations of men (the third generation is most notably Cameron Douglas, the son of Michael) that do not really get along with one another; the two elders (the respective Douglas's) were not very good fathers. Nevertheless, they are all forced to sort out their differences when the grandfather's wife dies. Suddenly, they all have to help each other to get through various struggles, while encountering some humorous situations as well. Full movie review »
