The Croods: A Movie That I Have Now Seen

Monday, October 21st, 2019 09:09 pm

Boy, that sure was a movie? It wasn't bad necessarily, but it wasn't really good either. It wasn't helped by the fact that once I placed the dad as being voiced by Nicolas Cage and the love interest as being voiced by Ryan Reynolds, all I could hear was the actor, not the character. And my default reaction to Nicolas Cage is a sort of genial "Good on you for getting some work," so that was a weird vibe. Still teared up when ( Read more... ) So eh, one more animated movie knocked off the list of animated movies I should probably watch for trivia purposes, but the best I can say is that it could have been worse.

...

...Okay, no, I wrote this all and then started re-watching Ouran High School Host Club, and I'm changing my opinion of The Croods. Ouran made me laugh five minutes into the first episode, and I'm not sure I laughed once during The Croods. I cannot pick a favorite character in Ouran (I can pick two if forced, but I really do adore all of the main cast.), whereas for The Croods if forced to pick I guess I'd go with Sandy? The mostly feral baby who can only growl?

The differences are striking and not at all in The Croods favor! I can now say I definitely did not like The Croods.
