The Croods is a fun filled family movie that I think anyone
and everyone should watch. I was laughing non stop from the beginning. I must
confess I was worried about how I would feel about this movie before I watched
it. I’m glad I watched it
It is a movie about a caveman family facing the hard life of
surviving in a very crazy wild world. They are the last of their kind and for
good reason… cavemen aren’t too smart. The father (Grug) of the group is the
reason the group has made it so far, or so it seems. He keeps them safe with a
strict set of rules. These people are definitely different and crazy. Let’s
just say “release the baby” will have you laughing the whole movie.
The eldest daughter (Eep) is very adventurous, she doesn’t
like being trapped in the walls that Grug keeps them in and she definitely
doesn’t like the rules that accompany Grug. One night Eep catches a glimpse of
an orange light through the crack in the cave and becomes very curious. After
sneaking out she finds that the orange light is fire captured by a boy who
calls himself Guy. Guy is NOT like a caveman at all, he’s like… well… a guy.
Eep is fascinated by Guy and he tells her that the world they live in is coming
to an end and that she should come with him. He gives her a shell so she can
get a hold of him.
When the family finds Eep gone, Grug is worried and then
infuriated when he finds her, but that doesn’t last long because here comes the
earthquake. They try to make it back to the cave, but the cave is destroyed.
When they look through the rubble, they find another mysterious land, a very
green one that is full of life, dangerous kinds of life that they discover when
they walk through. They get into trouble and so Eep calls guy with her shell.
Grug doesn’t like Guy and so the next portion of the movie
involves poor guy in a log. When he finally escapes the log and proves that
he’s trying to help, Grug is jealous of how his family follows Guy and it’s
hard for him to accept. He tries to be different but it doesn’t work the way he
planned. In the end, he has to make a choice and letting his family go to
safety with Guy is the choice he makes.
Or is that the end?!?!...
It’s not, remember… family movie. Grug gets help from some
unlikely animals to get all the way over to the safe place.
Now he’s with his family and Guy and they finally see eye to
eye. Now… the end
