The Croods - a prehistoric family led by patriarch Grug (Nicolas Cage) - have a good, safe life in which they do everything together: hunt, eat, play, sleep ... mainly because Grug has taught his wife, three kids, and ancient mother-in-law to fear EVERYTHING, especially the dark, always making sure his family is tucked into their cave every night before the sun sets. His teenage daughter Eep (Emma Stone), knowing there has to be something more to their world, sneaks out one night to explore - only to find Guy (Ryan Reynolds), a handsome, laidback and very smart young caveman who foretells the end of their world as they know it. When Guy proves to be right and the Croods barely escape the destruction of their cave alive, they have no choice (much to Grug's dismay) but to set out into a colorful, wondrous, yet potentially dangerous world as Guy leads them to safety. A funny, colorful, good-for-all-ages animated gem about the importance of family, working together, and never being afraid to explore your destiny. (rated PG) ****1/2
