The Douglas Family
It Runs in the Family- stars Micheal Douglas, Kirk Douglas, Cameron Douglas and Diana Douglas. Its a funny, entertaining, dramatic film.
The plot: Three generations of males -- grandfather Mitch Gromberg (Kirk Douglas), son Alex (Michael Douglas) and grandson Asher (Cameron Douglas) -- try to chart their way through personal upheavals and come together after Mitch suffers a stroke. Alex, a womanizer going through a midlife crisis and fearing he's become like his neglectful father, attempts to save Asher from a life of drugs. None of them wanted to turn into their fathers, but it'll take a lot more than wishes to heal the damage done.
Highly recordmend.

It is so nice to see a different style of animation. This seems like it was sketched out then rendered in 3D. The textures are rich and the design had a bit of a Coudy With a Chancenof Meatballs vibe. The addition of animations from the lead characters imagination is used to great effect.
That is all just the looks, we also get a wonderful look at family dynamics, a reminder that no one is perfect, and not to judge yourself by some high standards.
Warm, funny and visual stunning, it is a beautifull film inside and out, and well worth a watch.
