Though Dreamworks’ films have never quite been able to match the magic of Pixar, you can usually count on them to churn out a solid family movie.

“The Croods” doesn’t break any new ground or deliver anything more than the average animated film, but it’s enjoyable, provided you’re bring your younger sibling or similarly small, easily-amused child for an afternoon at the movies.

While it doesn’t offend, it does struggle to put up a script worthy of actors with the comedic weight and skill of Emma Stone, Cloris Leachman and Nicolas Cage.

If you need a way to occupy your time while babysitting or feel extremely passionately about Emma Stone’s filmography, “The Croods” is worth checking out.

Otherwise, it’s forgettable.
