Review of It Runs in the Family

I'm being generous giving this movie a 5/10. Only the interaction between Kirk and Michael is what keeps this movie afloat. Unfortunately, there are too many plot lines going on here. I think there are sincere moments between the real life father and son that help the movie. Unfortunately, Cameron Douglas, Michael's son, is wasted in a wildly underwritten part and his character comes across as unsympathetic. Rory Culkin and Bernadette Peters also have pointless subplots. The movie should have stuck to one plot line and it might have been better.
