Surprisingly touching, fine entertainment for the entire family

Rating: 7/10 (10 July 2013)

... i have to admit that THE CROODS really did nothing for me during it's primary theatrical run. I had no desire to see it, and honestly it didn't appear to hold any appeal for my 6 year old and 4 year old children.
However, it was playing at a second run theatre in Michigan, and it's the summer time, so I bit the bullet, paid 4.50 and took my 2 kids to see it and man am i ever glad i did.
Surprisingly touching film about a family with some great messages for EVERY member that is told in an entertaining manner that managed to hold the attentions of BOTH of my kids (not always an easy task!)
The message and humour works on all levels, and i have to say that even i had a bit of a tear in my eye during the finale.
A surprisingly cute film that wound up being a great way to spend a summer afternoon with the kids.
