It Runs in the Family (2003)

Family Movie
A great family movie; inspiring, humorous, dramatic. It makes one to reflect at himself/herself, life, past memories, and choices made.

Very impressed
I was very impressed with how quickly my purchase was delivered to me as well as the perfect condition it arrived in. I live in Hawaii and many times we don't receive items in the usual alloted times when we order anything online, but this item arrived very quickly.

More than just a film about I.B.S.
I watched "Spartacus," and I thought, if Spartacus were transported to 1960s America, what kind of kid would he have. I figured he'd be like Michael Douglas' Gordon Gekko in "Wall Street." So, I watched that film. Then I noticed Martin Sheen's Union rep is a lot like Spartacus -- he even says the only difference between slaves who built the pyramids and the guys who build skyscrapers is the skyscraper builders had unions. Both films end on a sour note. Afterwards, I thought, Michael D. and his father need to make up or something bad is going to happen. So I checked out "It Runs in the Family" to see if there was anything I could do. In this context -- watching two generations of Douglases work out their differences so the third generation of Douglases wouldn't be as screwed up -- my interest was held. The film runs a little long, and I wouldn't recommend it to people not actively trying to deal with their own family issues -- they'll probably get bored.
