 It Runs In the Family Movie Review at Hollywood Video
The story, thin as it is, follows the complex relationships between Alex Gromberg (Michael Douglas), his father Mitchell (real-life dad, Kirk Douglas), and his son Asher (real-life son, Cameron Douglas), but really it's just an excuse for the whole gang to get together and make a multi-million dollar home movie.
Kirk Douglas is magnificent, bringing warmth to his cantankerous, arrogant, and sometimes just-plain mean character, by revealing the vulnerability and loneliness that drives him.
Through the 1950s, Douglas often made three films a year, switching from a frontiersman who fought Indians in Big Sky, to a cold-hearted lover in The Bad and the Beautiful, to whale expert Ned Land in the classic adaptation of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
