The Croods

An animated tale about a caveman family trekking in a "new" world.  Along their way, they discover fire, shoes and most importantly the value of family.

This is a cute tale with humor most notably, Cloris Leachman's Gran character.  Nicholas Cage is perfect as Grug the patriarch who uses strength to make up for brainpower.  Emma Stone and Ryan Reynolds are adorable as Eep and Guy.

I give this a solid one thumb up for the portrayal of a tomboyish daughter learning to break away from her father's rule but realizing the father and daughter's love is one of the best relationships in a daughter's life.
