Somehow never heard about it until we caught it on Netflix last spring. And then it was so wholesome, hilarious, entertaining and GORGEOUS from start to finish! I mean, we were just looking for a somewhat entertaining way to chill through a hangover when we found it, but what we got was such a treat! It immediately became one of our absolute favorites.

Turn to Croods 2: WHAAAT?!

It's perfect!!!

Couldn't believe how much we loved this entire movie - obviously it was as good as the original, but maybe even *better*??

Seriously, the whole thing was so creative and entertaining and the addition of new cast was a perfect fit!

The *best* thing about this movie (and I don't think it's a spoiler - it's in the trailers) is that they turned the played out and awful jealous-girls-fighting-over-a-(literal)-Guy thing completely on its head. And they set it up so well! "Oh no, Dawn and Guy have history? Oh no, they're even saying the same things at the same time? Aaah, and their matching lemur accessories just thrust them together?? Oh nooo!"

And then. Annnnd then. What immediately blossoms between Eep and Dawn was such a *welcome* surprise, not to mention heartwarming and realistic ("Why are our voices getting so high-pitched - Eeeeee!" Hahaha, teen memories).

It was so *refreshing* to see that kind of healthy female friendship relationship portrayed and developed, especially with a "Guy" involved.

Meanwhile, the whole Croods family just being themselves is great. Grug's biggest problem (as ever) is that he just loves too dang much. That's incredibly endearing for a literal "cave-man" character.

And by the end of the movie? Oh, it is all wrapped up so nicely I wanna put a bow on it. It's so happy! The creators described wanting to make this movie a "celebration" of the Croods characters. And they achieved that splendidly. It's hard to think of any other stories so full of *joy.*

So yeah, I'm leaving out a lot because I don't want to include any spoilers, but this is one of those rare cases where in making a sequel - they absolutely NAILED it.

This movie is a gem. I don't think I've seen anything else that makes you feel so completely happy at the end. And for that, if *anybody* who was involved in this movie's creation ever happens to see this, I just want to say THANK YOU for this gift of a movie!! (*Especially* right now.) Thank you.

I'm gonna go watch it again.… Expand

I went into this film expecting the worst after seeing the MC scores (my GF wanted to watch it anyway), but was pleasantly surprised! CG is a work of art and some LOL moments.

Seven years is way too long to wait for such an anticipated and rewarding sequel. The Croods is one of our all time family favourites. This new instalment starts of with a very sad opening scene but ends on a wonderful note of reconciliationSeven years is way too long to wait for such an anticipated and rewarding sequel. The Croods is one of our all time family favourites. This new instalment starts of with a very sad opening scene but ends on a wonderful note of reconciliation and compromise. Completely packed with humour and action, part two doesn't miss a beat. There's a little less world building and fewer locations but imagination is firing on all cylinders. Please don't make us wait another 7 years for the next one.… Expand

Critics are on crack. Croods 2 is fun af. I barely remember the first one, but it wasn't bad or anything. This is great. I dug the whole thing. Kelly Tran redeemed herself for Rose Tiko. Metacritic, you may want to check your math. Seems likeCritics are on crack. Croods 2 is fun af. I barely remember the first one, but it wasn't bad or anything. This is great. I dug the whole thing. Kelly Tran redeemed herself for Rose Tiko. Metacritic, you may want to check your math. Seems like a lot more green than yellow. I rewatched it twice (one for each kid, ehem). Got better every time.

Just a good fun entertainment.
