The Croods



The Croods is the latest animated installment from Dreamworks. Nicolas Cage as Grug, the father, Emma Stone as Eep as the very outgoing young female, And Ryan Reynolds as Guy, a young man on his own.

The Croods is as entertaining as they come. Fun enough for kids and mature enough for adults to enjoy. Everything about this movie was entertaining, from the characters to the story to the visually stunning animation and sets.

The Croods is one of the last human families on earth. The other families did not survive nature. As the earth is still changing, The Croods home (cave) gets destroyed. They come across Guy who is searching to ride the sun. This all turns into a family road trip to new destinations. And the adventure is fun. I do see the comparisons to Avatar.

While keeping a very nice balance of Neanderthal man and today’s language, it’s a great setup for all kinds of new perspectives. There is plenty of action to keep this movie rolling. I’ve heard complaints that the Croods is riding the coattails of Ice Age. I don’t see it at all.

I laughed out loud quite a few times and in fact had a tear at the end. Loved this flick and think you will too.
