Eep is the eldest daughter of one of the only surviving
caveman families. As a result of her father’s overprotective nature, however,
she feels suffocated. One night she shirks the rules in order to follow her
curiosity and leads her family into a trip for survival.
Incredible. I couldn’t take my eyes away from the screen. “The
Croods” was smart, funny, very entertaining and it was the product of really
good writing. I thought the characters were in depth and believable – despite being
a cartoon for younger children. I thought the imaginative landscaping and
animation were wonderfully portrayed. And, even though the story was mostly for
kids, there was plenty of good in the movie to keep an adult entertained. In my
opinion, that makes this a perfect family film – something for everyone.
I wish I could have given it a perfect score, but there were
a couple of minor continuity errors. I didn’t really notice them until I
thought back; it’s not like they were huge gaping plot holes.
Only after I had watched did I realize that John Cleese had
a hand in writing the story. To me, that explains everything.
