As you know I am out of town watching my nieces while my sister is at a wedding. At one point there were 7 children here, 7! It is amazing to see them all but I honestly don't know how my sister does it. But I did my best. So I thought taking them to see The Croods would be a good idea. There were 9 of us all together and we took up the whole row, but we really enjoyed the movie.
The Croods is about a family of cavemen who only venture out of their cave once every few days to hunt for food. Everyone in the family is fine with this except for one: their daughter Eep. She loves the light; she is also a bit mischievous, and one night while the rest of her family is sleeping she sees a strange light and decides to sneak out and follow it, only to find a torch being held by a boy named Guy. Guy warns her that the end of the world is coming so Eep, her family, and Guy set out on an adventure to find a new home away from the disasters.
I really enjoyed this movie; it is a great kid and family movie. All my nieces were cracking up and really enjoyed it. It wasn't my favorite movie of all time, but I was impressed by the cast. Nicolas Cage, Emma Stone, and Ryan Reynolds all made the list. I most likely won't purchase this movie, just because it is not my kind of humor, but most likely my husband will want to see it so we will rent it from Redbox when it comes out. All in all I give this movie 6 out of 10, because they made me uncomfortable. That's weird I know, but I didn't like how they dressed the daughter. Yes it is accurate, but I thought for a kids' movie let's cover her up some more and not have her be so curvaceous. I also thought that it was a bit predictable; yes it's a kids' movie, it all ends happily ever after, but I felt I could have told you exactly what would have happened before I had even see it. It was a nice uplifting story and I saw firsthand that any kind of kid would love this movie. If you go see it let me know what you think: you may love it!!
I hope everyone is having a good week!

Going into this movie, I wasn't expecting a movie with the title, The Croods to be anything amazing and actually didn't expect it to be any good at all. Thankfully, I was wrong and had a good time. Nice review.
