The Croods (3 stars)

We watched The Croods, an animation about cave people. Nicholas Cage voices the protective dad Grug, and Emma Stone gives voice to the voluptuous, bold daughter Eep. Despite a fast-paced opening, it wasn’t engaging until about a half hour in. There is almost too much action. However, some of the effects were probably beautiful on a big screen. Suspend all disbelief that there is any historical context for this fantasy.

If IMDB is to be believed, this movie did very well. I’d heard of it, but don’t know anyone who mentioned seeing it.
