The Croods: A New Age Reviews
January 22, 2021
It's still a fun theme-park ride. Chances are, your kids will watch the first "Croods" repeatedly. This second installment, considerably less.

It's not deep and it's not particularly sophisticated -- what did you expect from the stone age? As a light-hearted comedy adventure, however, it rocks.

Always bright and colourful in the visual department, but often dim and drab in the story sector.

This movie has bright colors, flashy visuals, a lively story and equally effective humor and action elements. Don't look for any realism or historical accuracy here, just a lot of imagination and fun.

[It] has a distinctly mid-century sit-com vibe, and not just because that Partridge Family anthem, "I Think I Love You", is on repeat throughout the soundtrack.

Faster, funnier and more inventive than its 2013 predecessor.

On a par with its predecessor -- crazy colorful, energetic and solid 'liberal' vs. 'conservative' comedy-style animated feature. (Ultimately it's a kind of 'Addams Family' movie).

This Croods' sequel might not be the follow-up fans of the original were hoping for, but it certainly will provide solid, if unspectacular, school holiday entertainment.

A highly engaging, energetic, wonderfully animated romp spiced by some great action sequences...the film's congenial, soft-centred messaging about tolerance, reconciliation & learning to get on with those considered "the others" is nothing if not timely.

A genuinely fun, visually dazzling example of goofy cartoon slapstick on a grand scale.

Serves as a reminder of a simpler time in cinema, when family entertainment was a cheerful outing to the multiplexes and animated offerings didn't rebel against their structure

While the story of confinement feels weirdly relevant in a world where lockdowns are the norm, its kindhearted attitude towards nature feels more timely than ever in the wake of a climate emergency.

The screenplay manages to strike a relatively deft balance between its character moments and the comedy-adventure set pieces that are the film's real raison d'être.

Is it funny? Absolutely. In fact, there are any number of moments that left me in stitches...

It's the strength and inherent charm of the performers that elevates The Croods films above the otherwise fairly basic and uninspired storytelling.
