The Croods
The advantage to being a caveman is that it takes absolutely no effort to stay on a Paleolithic diet.
However, the hunter-gatherers in this animated adventure are having a hard time eating at all.
Forced to live in a cave alongside the rest of her family, (Nicolas Cage, Catherine Keener, Clark Duke, Cloris Leachman) teenage troglodyte Eep (Emma Stone) takes every opportunity to explore the outside.
One day she meets a cave-boy (Ryan Reynolds), who not only possesses fire but a plan to escape the pending end.
When an earthquake leaves her clan homeless, she asks him to help lead her family to safety - much to the chagrin of her overprotective patriarch.
While the animation is crude and the history completely skewed, The Croods prospers thanks to its archetypal characters and its goofy sense of humour.
Furthermore, it's fascinating to know that cave people will eventually evolved into Creationists.
