The Croods
SCORE: 75
Black Friday brings extremely low prices
to movies. We can go months thanks to what we purchase on that day. The
Croods on Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD is a classic example. Plenty of
movie for a very low price.
I was concerned about The Croods. The whole cave man fantasy mixed in
with the religious content by those who openly reject God. Thankfully it
is light in The Croods. It is still present. I suppose it should come as
no surprise since Nicolas Cage is involved in this project. He seems to
pick a high percentage of projects that attack God, and attack His
followers.
The Croods is set right before the continents split apart. This family
of cavemen must embrace change. They need to adapt. A human teenage boy
helps them embrace the future. The teenage daughter of The Croods is his
love interest.
The Croods can also be seen as an attack on men. Since the father is the
one who needs to change. The father is holding the rest of the family
back. The father is not a great leader. At least until the end. The
oldest son of the family is also shown in a bad light. The grandmother
is the only female character in The Croods that comes anywhere near
being shown in a bad light.
If you can get by all of the undermining attacks on reality and
traditional families; you will find a funny movie. The Croods is oozing
comedy from its pores. The ideas of the father, the interaction with
wild life, and Belt. Belt is one of those characters who grows on you
over time. By the end of the movie you are loving him, and laughing at
him.
Plenty of bonus features on The Croods discs. The Creatures of the
Croods, Cut Scenes, Be An Artist, Belt’s Cave Journal, and more. I have
already watched The Croods multiple times. Our children have watched it
even more times than Yolanda and I. A sequel would be welcome here at
Family Friendly Gaming.
