Admirable film.

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

This movie is more than just entertainment. Don´t be fooled by the worn out caveman theme, or because it´s an animation. This is not The Flintstones or else. It´s a fun and original story that tells more than it appears to tell.
This movie is about deep questions of mankind, especially how we deal with knowledge, how we learn things, how we resist to change, the role of fear in our survival etc.
There´s a lot of science in it, in a fun and light way. Evolutionary theory, psychology, sociology, even it suggests the origin of football, as they go hunt for an egg. Well, this is an underrated movie, that lost the Oscar award to Frozen.

This movie would probably work better as a short film. Though there are some semi-interesting things in this movie, there is a lot filler and stupid nonsense. The animation is fantastic, but the plot is dumb and unoriginal. A lot of artistic talent was wasted on this dull story. I wouldn't recommend this movie, but a young child would enjoy it.

This film tells the story of a family in the prehistoric times. The head of the family does everything he can to protect his family from the dangers of the nature. One day, a courageous young boy enters their life, and change their lives forever."The Croods" has many funny one liners, such as the father proclaiming that he is a cat person, and also the scene of making a family portrait. These scenes made me laugh, but overall the story is just alright. The visuals are good, the fantastical creatures are visually interesting, and the story entertains children. The plot contains points for adults to reflect upon to, such as stepping out of the comfort zone and being courageous. However, the characters are not cute and adorable enough for me, so I knock a mark off from the final score.

How can anyone like this pile of uneducated garbage!!! I think people are just too blown away by the animation ( which is this movies only strong point. Seriously, this is Dreamworks' greatest animation since How to Train Your Dragons!) that they don't notice that it is literally a movie done a million times!!! Yes folks, this is the "paranoid parent doesn't want to let his daughter go/ road trip" movie. Nicholas Cage is OK in this movie, but all I hear is Nic Cage being
NIC CAGE! Emma Stone is also a good actress, but I can't say that this is the best film of her career. That being said, it's not the worst film she has been in either. But I'm getting ahead of myself. The one thing that this movie is is UNGODLY FORGETTABLE!!! I can't remember ONE LINE OF DIALOGUE and the comedy is too much slapstick and not a lot of anything else, that the jokes are just as forgettable as the dialogue. Quite literally, this movie is THE AVATAR OF ANIMATED BOX OFFICE MOVIES. It has good actors that don't do as good in the movie as they should, like Avatar. It's visual style is much more memorable than the actual plot, like Avatar. The story is a mix of clichés, like Avatar! It's just Avatar made for kids! Unless you want to see a movie to riff and make fun of, or if you want to see Avatar 2 before they release it in theaters, I wouldn't touch this movie at all!!!
