Here we are at the screening of DreamWorks' new movie "The Croods." We loved the movie! I would describe it as a total family adventure. The show is packed with adventure and creative prehistoric creatures (I loved the feathered flying turtle, my girls like the walking land whale). It all takes place in a spectacular prehistoric world. Quite a sight to behold.
The theme of the movie for me was family unity. The Croods are definitely a caveman family whose survival is dependent upon each member of the family. From baby to grandma to rebellious teenage daughter to overprotective father, each member has it's important place. There were some tender moments that had my eyes watering. Like the "hug" scene with the daughter and dad. Oh, that was sweet.
Despite the name "Croods," the movie is not at all crude, something I REALLY appreciate. No bad words, no potty humor. Just good old clean adventurous fun. It's a great family film.
Over dinner we found ourselves quoting the movie. Here are some of our favorite lines:
"Release the baby!"
"Uh, I don't have a brain."
"I call it hug. It rhymes with Grug."
"Hi Guyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy..........!"
"Dun, dun, dun.........."
These probably make no sense, until you see the movie. So, I guess you better see the movie. Take the whole family. They'll enjoy it.
As a side note and to support my opinion that it's a great family film, the CEO of DreamWorks Jeffrey Katzenberg shared this story with the company and I thought it was nice and worth sharing as well. After a screening of The Croods for mommy bloggers in New York City, a teenage girl approached one of the movie directors who was hosting the screening and motioned that she wanted to say something to him. He went over to her and she simply said, "thank you for helping me understand my dad."
Here are some good clips from the movie:
