It's so wispy that at the end you wonder: Exactly what runs in the family?

Father and son Kirk and Michael Douglas' moments together are among the movie's best.

Family goes easy on the schmaltz, and the catastrophes have the puncturing feel of real life.

An unsteady mixture of treacle and dark comedy that never feels as "dark" as it pretends. Though well-intentioned, it's not terribly compelling.

Essentially the same heartwarming goo about three generations of men quarreling and bonding, with Kirk just as feisty as ever.

It's ''Hannah and Her Sisters'' with all the emotions and half the artistry.

As an actor, Kirk Douglas still has more to give; too bad he didn't have more to work with.

Achingly long and pointless, "Runs" is a movie about family that's dishonest in its presentation of every relationship.
