It Runs in the Family

Antonio D. Charity, Audra McDonald, Bernadette Peters, Cameron Douglas, Diana Darrid Douglas

The Grombergs are a highly successful family--except when it comes to communicating with each other. Alex Gromberg is a man caught in the middle. Navigating the tricky, ever-changing roles of father, ...( read more  read more... )son, and husband, he's trying to avoid the mistakes his father made while coming to terms with the ones he's already passed on to his own sons. Alex's wife, Rebecca, is a psychologist trying to balance a professional life with her marriage and raising her kids. Mitchell Gromberg, the patriarch and a retired partner of one of New York's leading law firms, is having difficulty coming to grips with his mortality. Evelyn is his devoted wife and has been his emotional rock throughout their marriage--and the peacemaker between him and Alex. Asher Gromberg, Alex's eldest son, is a rebellious college student trying to cope with life, love, and sex in a confused society. And Eli, Alex's 11-year old, is perhaps the "oldest" and most levelheaded of all the Gromberg men. Three generations of an American family, they all live separate lives, each in their own dysfunctional way. But every once in awhile, there comes a time to come together--to celebrate, to laugh, to fight, to cry, and to care for each other.

    This is certainly a disappointment, considering the cast and talent involved. It's not without some good moments. It's a rather bizarre film, talk about a dysfunctional family!

    This film had great potential because of the generation gap exploration which always makes for a good story...The problem here is that there simply wasn't enough depth in the reality of the conflicts...The only story amongst the four sub-plots which was affective was that of Kirk...( read more) Douglas's dealing with the loss of his wife...

    Three generations of Douglas family in a down to earth, no frills movie. Toss in some real family emotions for an enjoyable movie.
