Croods are OK

Rating: 6/10 (19 June 2014)

I saw this movie while on a flight. This movie was never on the radar for me to watch. The movie was acceptable but I wasn't overly impressed.
The Croods are a caveman family that try to survive prehistoric life of large carnivorous animals and mother nature. They are guided by the conservative patriarch, Grug (Nicholas Cage). By conservative I mean a Kelly Clarkson never-stray-to-far-from-the-sidewalk type of conservative. Everyone is to be in the cave before dark and never go exploring strange things. The eldest daughter, Eep (Emma Stone), wants none of that lifestyle and flirts with danger every chance she gets.
The movie was what I expected from an animation. There were some funny scenes and there was definitely a message. The actors suited their characters and the story was solid. It was OK as far as animations go.
