The Croods Movie Review: | |
| It captures the wonder (and more gently, the anxiety) of discovery time and time again. And the filmmakers have a hoot playing with the Croods' encounters with, as well as their misunderstandings of, all things new. Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post As family viewing, it's pleasant enough: primitive, yes, but in a digitally sophisticated way that's boisterous, funny and will no doubt sell a lot of toys. Bob Mondello-NPR The animation is first-rate, with moments of genuine visual imagination, and the story, while unremarkable, is entirely adequate. Christopher Orr-The Atlantic How to Train Your Dragon" and "Lilo & Stitch" are completely indicative of the experience you'll have with "The Croods," which is to say a supremely positive one. Laremy Legel-Film.com It may not be an instant animated classic, but it's a charmer that will leave the kids ... feeling warm and fuzzy ... Kate Erbland-MSN Movies A film which, if not truly sophisticated, isn't nearly as crude as advertised. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger Energetic slapstick, aimed at indiscriminating youngsters who will want to buy lots of Crood toys. Susan Granger-SSG Syndicate It's not only entertaining, it's pretty darn visually impressive. On occasion, it's even rather touching. Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) No wonder it's doing so well at the box office. Tony Macklin-tonymacklin.net An impressive, colorful, imaginatively-designed cartoon adventure, rather spoiled by being shackled to a deeply perfunctory story. Tim Brayton-Antagony & Ecstasy A witty and slapstick-laced script by writers-directors Chris Sanders and Kirk De Micco, some flawless 3-D work and solid character and beautiful background animation combine for an entertaining 92 minutes. Bob Bloom-Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Dreamworks have done far more than simply dust off The Flintstones 2.0; The Croods may not yet be a household name, but with their personal brand of buffoonery and heart, you'll be wanting an introduction. Alice Tynan-The Vine This is pure DreamWorks magic. Liam Maguren-Flicks.co.nz The Croods tells a pleasant story about family, the utility of man, and letting go -- all of which I will demonstrate in review with caveman-speak. Brent Simon-Shared Darkness It's the Ice Age that isn't terrible and Cage, as the voice of papa caveman Grug, delivers his most interesting, energized, mainstream performance since... well, since I forget. Dave White-Movies.com The humor's classic or prehistoric, depending on your tolerance for slapstick. The 3D animation is state of the art. And the life lessons are all too wearily contemporary. John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) The Croods isn't particularly smart, but it has just enough wit to keep us engaged and just enough speed to keep us from feeling restless. Bilge Ebiri-Vulture "The Croods" is a touching animated film that not only entertains, but also delivers a sweet message about families and how change can be a good thing. Jeff Beck-Examiner.com There's something depressing about the fact that The Croods could probably be watched by an audience anywhere in the world without subtitles and they wouldn't miss a thing. Jeff Meyers-Metro Times (Detroit, MI) The complacency and lack of imagination are painful. Philip French-Observer [UK] The first great animated film of the year. Truly hilarious. Pete Hammond-Movieline The Croods is exactly the sort of animated fare we receive on a monthly basis from Hollywood. On the scale of such efforts, it's pretty good, with an engaging second half making up for a tedious opening stretch. Matt Brunson-Creative Loafing It's funny. It's pretty. It's cute. Nour Habib-Tulsa World Kids will respond to the slapstick humour and the physicality of the action, and adults will find moments of insight and emotion Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile What is best, and riskiest, in this storytelling is the way that the sense of danger is palpable even when things are looking rosiest, and the impulse to hope is at its strongest when things look most dire Andrea Chase-Killer Movie Reviews "The Croods" is fun and wild and exactly what the kids will love.
