However successful in life, Alex never felt pleasing pride or proper parental support from sprightly patriarch Mitchell, who sarcastically imposes his own values and priorities on everyone and everything.

Movie Reviews

Arizona Republic - 9/10 by Randy CordovaThere is definitely something exciting about seeing Michael and Kirk together on screen, cleft chin to cleft chin. That's easily the neatest thing about It Runs in the Family.
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle - 9/10 by Jack GarnerKirk Douglas and Michael Douglas waited a long time to work together. Maybe they should have waited a little longer.
Village Voice - 9/10 by Ed ParkFamily goes easy on the schmaltz, and the catastrophes have the puncturing feel of real life.
Dallas Morning News - 8/10 by Philip WuntchIt Runs in the Family dawdles and meanders. Only the most devoted Douglas-philes will feel like saluting.
The New York Times - 8/10 by Stephen HoldenJesse Wigutow's screenplay is one of those marvels of economy, idiomatic facility and well-chosen detail that knows exactly when to cut away from a scene without grinding it into your face.
Flick Filosopher - 7/10 by MaryAnn JohansonBreathes with much knowing truth and dainty detail about the intimate lives of families.
One Guy's Opinion - 7/10 by Frank SwietekAn urban cousin of 'On Golden Pond' that sinks under the weight of all the banal domestic tragicomedy it's forced to bear.
Variety - 7/10 by Robert KoehlerUneasily pivots between comedy and drama, with its best parts strongly reminiscent of Schepisi's previous, British-made drama about aging and dying buddies, "Last Orders."
Los Angeles Times - 7/10 by Kevin ThomasSchepisi not only inspired the cast to give well-shaded, reflective portrayals but also made the film a work of honest, heartfelt sentiment.
Minneapolis Star Tribune - 6/10 by Jeff StricklerWorks as a drama but comes up short as a comedy.
