There were some historical inaccuracies about Neanderthals and animals in general. But, it was funny and entertaining. I liked it. |

A beautifully animated family adventure. There is consistent excitement and comedy, as well as some relatable themes and genuine emotion. I found it to be enthralling and hilarious, from beginning to end. It's engaging entertainment that also brings along something of value to the younger viewers. |

Good to Be Crood |

I'm conflicted over The Croods. While I though the design and animation was quite well done - the story and characters just didn't connect with me. What you have is really a basic family adventure mixed with the requisite comedy/drama quotient and wrapped up in a caveman skin. While it isn't done badly - it's pretty standard in my eyes.
Early on we meet our modern caveman family - father Grug (Nicolas Cage), mother Ugga (Catherine Keener), daughter Eep (Emma Stone), son Thunk (Clark Duke), Gran (Cloris Leachman) and the animalistic toddler Sandy. Grug is overprotective to the point where anything involving leaving their cave is forbidden - his nightly bedtime stories always end in death - usually due to "curiosity". But his daughter Eep is the polar opposite - she just wants to live he... |

The Croods |
|
The Croods (2013) The Croods consist of Grug (Nicolas Cage), his wife Ugga (Catherine Keener), grandmother Gran (Cloris Leachman), son Thunk (Clark Duke) and daughter Eep (Emma Stone) are your ordinary, run-of-the-mill caveman family. Their world is turned upside down when their beloved cave is destroyed and they must find a new place to live. Then, Guy (Ryan Reynolds), a nomadic cave boy who would rather use his brain than his brawn, enters the picture and their lives will never be the same. This is a fantastic film that kids and adults will find amusing and enjoyable. I loved Emma Stone as the headstrong Eep, but the actor that makes this film is Nicolas Cage as the loveable father Grug. Cage is perfect for the ridged but caring Grug. The film is filled with almost Dr. Seuss style ani... |

Even though Oz the Great and Powerful was PG - it didn't attract as big a family audience as expected. The Croods, then, really has no competition for this demographic and should do well (if only because it's the only option at this point).
I have to say, though, that the more previews I've seen, I'm warming up to the film as a whole (and if Nicolas Cage punches a bear - it will be period-specific and not some poor girl in a suit!). I'll be interested to see where it winds up this weekend. |
