It Runs in the Family Audience Reviews

Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Clevercell Very disappointing...
Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
ShangLuda Admirable film.
life_illusion_same I watched it 2 times, very endearing, each plot if carefully paid attention to can make you either sympathize or laugh or even cry, it's sweet, the father/son/grandson is adorable, funny, witty, and I think it touched my heart during the deaths of Pappys wife and brother.. It's hard to imagine your life partner gone after so long...and then to lose your brother within the same time, I think Michael and Kirk did a wonderful job, and "Asher" was an eye opener to anyone trying to stay as a teenager even when they should have priorities. Culkin was sweet as the conscience yet innocent child, their traditions were upheld, the characters were in depth, making the plots more understandable if you really pay attention and try to enjoy the movie instead of sit and criticize every action they make.
Dale Haufrect "It Runs in the Family" is a boring comedy. There is some element of a tribute to the great acting career of Kirk Douglas, who plays an elderly father of Michael Douglas. His stroke producing hemiparesis and dysphasia is amply displayed by this veteran. One can enjoy some few sentimental moments, but it is not worth the rental. The Douglas family probably received some handsome remuneration for this film. They probably also are enjoying the fact that nearly their entire family is featured in this fiasco. One should avoid this film if possible. If not, be prepared to take a brief snooze. Don't waste your money on this boring tribute to a great actor.
mmwilde I'm not a big "Douglas" fan anyway, but my girlfriend and I wanted something easy to digest, and the guy at Blockbuster said it was cute. Now I know why he works at Blockbuster. This is a mean, stupid movie about mean, stupid people. I figured, "At least Bernadette Peters is in it, and she'll be adorable". Sadly, she plays a truly unadorable woman, so I didn't even have THAT going for me. That's everything nice I can think of to say.
grandmere-1 It's sad to see Fred Shipisi's name on such a mess of a vanity project for the Douglas family. And it's creepy to watch Kirk Douglas's ex-wife play his loving wife in the movie. The best thing in it is Rory Culkin, who seems to have wandered in from another, more interesting, film. Not worth renting.
