In a heartwarming and humorous exploration of three generations of the Gromberg family, Michael Douglas stars as Alex Gromberg, a successful but emotionally distant lawyer struggling to connect with his own son. When his aging father, Mitchell, played by the legendary Kirk Douglas, suffers a stroke, Alex is forced to confront the complicated legacy of their strained relationship. As Alex juggles his demanding career, his teenage son Asher, portrayed by Cameron Douglas, who is navigating his own rebellious phase, the family begins to unravel secrets and resentments that have simmered for decades. Directed by Fred Schepisi, this comedy-drama brings together three real-life generations of the Douglas family, adding an authentic layer of poignancy to the story. With a stellar cast including Diana Douglas, Sarita Choudhury, and Bernadette Peters, It Runs in the Family deftly balances laugh-out-loud moments with touching reflections on love, forgiveness, and the often messy bonds that define us. It is a relatable and entertaining look at how, no matter how far we stray, family always has a way of pulling us back.
