Summary: The Croods need a new place to live. So, the first prehistoric family sets off into the world in search of a safer place to call home. When they discover an idyllic walled-in paradise that meets all their needs, they think their problems are solved … except for one thing. Another family already lives there: the Bettermans. The BettermansThe Croods need a new place to live. So, the first prehistoric family sets off into the world in search of a safer place to call home. When they discover an idyllic walled-in paradise that meets all their needs, they think their problems are solved … except for one thing. Another family already lives there: the Bettermans. The Bettermans (emphasis on the “better”)—with their elaborate tree house, amazing inventions and irrigated acres of fresh produce—are a couple of steps above the Croods on the evolutionary ladder. When they take the Croods in as the world’s first houseguests, it isn’t long before tensions escalate between the cave family and the modern family. Just when all seems lost, a new threat will propel both families on an epic adventure outside the safety of the wall, one that will force them to embrace their differences, draw strength from each other and forge a future together. … Expand

You may never have thought you needed or even wanted a sequel to “The Croods,” but you may find it a pleasant surprise in a year where most of the surprises have been anything but. Read full review

Movie Nation Roger Moore

Nov 23, 2020

The Croods: A New Age has some of the derivative limitations of the first film — the faint whiff of riding “Ice Age’s” coattails. But the players make their slapsticking, pratfalling, punking and pranking characters breathe, live, love and care. Read full review

Jesse Hassenger

Nov 23, 2020

With eleven different characters to serve—not counting several animal sidekicks—A New Age has a lot going on in terms of plot and action, with a litany of new alliances, betrayals, and team-ups. But the sequel is not as visually sophisticated as its predecessor. Read full review

Like the first film, The Croods: A New Age is a pleasant enough movie. It may not make you forget the original, but only because you probably already had. Read full review

ABC Peter Travers

Inside this manic jumble about a family of prehistoric ‘Flintstones’ knockoffs lies a brightly animated bauble that speaks to the power of staying connected even when forced apart. Pretty good for a cartoon, especially during a pandemic. Read full review

The anarchic spirit of the film suggests the screenwriters (brothers Kevin and Dan Hageman, Paul Fisher and Bob Logan) may also have been a little high on bee venom when they wrote this thing. Read full review

David Rooney

Nov 23, 2020

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. Read full review

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.

I'm gonna feel really old by writing this, but I think it might be a bit overwhelming for kids, or maybe they'll be more into it than I was.
Who knows with them now. It wasn't a bad experience per se, but I wasn't excited by anything either

It's just a crappy kids movie. You can take young kids to it, and they may like it. But this isn't a "movie the whole family can enjoy," you know?

Not entertaining for adults, and young boys will be put off by all the romantic idiocy, and this movie has a lot of it. It seems to have been a choice for this film to focus more towards girls who have started liking boys as the main audience.
The Betterman character is annoying, and alsoNot entertaining for adults, and young boys will be put off by all the romantic idiocy, and this movie has a lot of it. It seems to have been a choice for this film to focus more towards girls who have started liking boys as the main audience.
The Betterman character is annoying, and also the Crood son. Cloris Leachman's few scenes are the best, which are mainly towards the end. Will a kid like it probably, but only after about 40 minutes into it once some action gets going.… Expand
