1.0*/5.0*

A toothless sequel that once again delves into an origin story of conservative behavior. It seems to be a popular tale in US animation nowadays (with quite some potential), but to see it executed in the most bland and conservative way possible immediately undermines the very problems it tries to highlight.

The Croods are on their way to the promised land, but Guy and Eep are getting a bit too friendly for Grug, who fears they may run off to start their own pack. Then they run into the Bettermans, who constructed a little paradise of their own. The two families don't get along that well, but they'll find a common enemy to bond over.

The animation is nothing special, the comedy is very crude and there's just nothing here that surprises or excites. It's cookie-cutter animation for children, with the more mature themes handled in the most mind-numbing way possible. But they'll keep churning these out as long as they keep making money I guess.
