* * * ½  (Funny family film)  “The Croods” is one funny, action-
packed family film about a Stone Age dysfunctional family that
finds the sun and happier days. It is filled with interesting
characters, wonderful animals and birds, and some of the best 3D
effects in cartoons that we have seen yet. Lots of things come
popping out at you along the way.  Nicolas Cage is the voice of
Grug, the overprotective father who wants to keep his family
confined to the cave for their own safety. Any new thing in
their dull lives is unacceptable. Catherine Keener is the voice
of his supportive wife.  Emma Stone is the voice of Eep, his
rebellious daughter who wants to discover what is beyond the
cave and does so one day, only to meet Guy, a handsome and
adventurous young boy (voice of Ryan Reynolds). Grug resents Guy
and his leadership abilities and interest in his daughter.  The
other characters include the crotchety old grandmother, a son
and a young daughter.
