The Croods (2013) 7/10

Starring : Nicolas Cage, Emma Stone, Ryan Reynolds, Catherine Keener, Cloris Leachman, Clark Duke
Director : Chris Sanders & Kirk De Micco
Running Time : 98 mins

A family of cave people are forced to run for their lives when their cave is destroyed. Along the way eldest daughter Eep (Stone) encounters a resourceful young man named Guy (Reynolds), who helps the Crood family in their search for a new home, though father Grug (Cage) is reluctant to experience anything new, as he thinks new things will inevitably kill them all.

This was much better than I expected, with a reasonable story and some nice elements that come together perfectly at the end. The voice talents have been chosen well, though the dun-dun-duh joke from the trailers is a little overused. Fans of Ice Age will enjoy this family film, and there weren’t too many Flintstones rip-off moments to make this a carbon copy.
