Film Review: The Croods (2013)
byIn all seriousness, what really elevates this movie is the attention to detail and visual splendour we have come to expect from big budget animation. Every hair, eye-twitch, leaf and breeze has been accounted for in this spectacular 98-minute action reel/nature documentary.
