This is the story of a family of Neanderthals that live every day in fear. Everyone they knew had met an untimely end and Grug, the family's father is determined to keep them all alive. There are some problems in the form of teenage angst with Eep. Craving freedom she sneaks out one day and meets what I assume was Homoerectus, a guy named Guy. He tells her the end is coming and she tries to convince the family to follow Guy. The family is forced to go on an unwanted adventure, trying to conquer their fears in order to survive and, pardon the pun, evolve to a new life. This movie features some great actors providing the voices of the characters, but Nick Cage shines as this seems like a role he was meant to voice.
I read a review on here that said this film was "insensitive, rude and mis-educational". Not everything that our children watch needs to be educational. What is wrong with having fun? I suppose The Incredibles depicting super heroes living normal lives among us is educational? Or finding Nemo with talking fish and sharks that try not to eat fish, their sole source of nutrition? Stop taking life so serious. I feel sorry for the kids being raised like that. As for insensitive and rude, I do not get that either. Who would this movie insult? As far as I know Neanderthals are extinct. This family friendly movie showcases exactly how far a dad will go to protect his kids, and to me there is nothing more touching.
