REEL DEL: The Croods REVIEW

Its time for a prehistoric fun time with Dreamworks newest animation offering for 2013, The Croods.

This is the story of the prehistoric family of the Croods, which includes Eep (Emma Stone), a girl in a family of cavemen living in pre-historic times, talking about how her family is one of the few to survive nearby, mainly due to the strict rules of her father, Grug (Nicolas Cage) and his wife Ugga (Catherine Keener), daughter Sandy, son Thunk (Clark Duke), and his mother-in-law (Cloris Leachman), which were used in living in a cave all of their lives but when seismic events destroys their home, they now embark on a journey of finding a new home.

They would also encounter a new guy named Guy (Ryan Reynolds) and his pet Belt. The movie comes in 3D and is actually a visual feast . I also liked the Owl City track featured in the movie. Kids will definitely love this movie because of the humor and also values which they can learn from the characters.


The Croods is brought to you by 20th Century Fox Philippines and Warner Bros. Now Showing in Theaters nationwide.

Deliberation time kids! 

Show summary in 3 lines: Evolve or History
Technical Effects: 4 out of 5 stars (Its unusual for me to like the first part because my visual standards would adjust to eventually appreciate it, but here I loved it from start to finish)
Plot: 3 out of 5 stars (Family adventure and meeting new characters is a common plot but has a nice twist)
Acting and Actors: 4 out of 5 stars  (Emma Stone is a cute caveteenager!) 
Music and Soundtracks:  4 out for 5 stars (A very good soundtrack line up for an animation film)
DVD Worthiness: YAY! (hope it includes a "Belt")
Pros:  Characters, 3D effects, Landscapes, Lines
Cons:  Plot, Dark scenes
Overall Rating: 3.9 out of 5 stars (Cute kid and family movie, actually anyone will be very entertained, I would say that the comedy is really great!)
