The Croods: A New Age

A long awaited experience since the pandemic. A message families can relate. Enjoyed by all ages.

Perfectly fun family movie or date night movie. Nothing ground-breaking or completely original. Kids will love it and everyone in the family will get some laugh out throughout the movie. Overall, solid little adventure.

The comedic sparks and emotional stirrings simply aren’t as potent this time around, despite some colourful animation and an occasionally inspired silly streak.

In an era where there's no shortage of clever animated features that appeal to kids while still tickling the grownups, the laughs here are about as fresh as the short-lived 1960s sci-fi comedy, It's About Time.

The Croods: A New Age is going through the motions, accomplishing the basic level of work required in pulling off a computer-animated feature. It’s a strange way to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday, even in a strange year like this.
