Great family movie but often stereotypical.

Rating: 6/10 (29 March 2013)

This was a great family movie. I saw the Croods in English and 3D and what I liked most was the artwork. The world created around the the Croods is beautiful and colorful, sometimes even scary. The characters are also interesting and funny (I loved all of their different personalities) and there are numerous jokes throughout the movie for both children and adults.
However, the story is often cliché, and so are the jokes. And from a feminist point of view this isn't a very good movie whereas the persons who get most attention in the movie, and the most important roles, are both male, while the girls and women have mostly stereotypical scenes (a nagging mother-in-law, a caring and sensible mother, a love-crazy daughter) and don't have any important affects on the story.
Despite it's downfalls it was a very enjoyable movie to watch, so I can recommend it as a simple and funny movie for the family.
