Remember your first family road trip? Was it an adventure or a disaster? The anticipation for the release of Dreamworks The Croods in 3D is growing. In just a few short days this comedy adventure will delight people of all ages. I haven’t seen the film yet but just watching the trailer I think it looks cute and a perfect film for a family night out.
About the film
THE CROODS is a 3D comedy adventure that follows the world’s first modern family through the journey of a lifetime. When the cave that has always been their home is destroyed with the rest of their world not far behind it. The Croods are forced to set off on the first family road (or path) trip. Rocked by generational clashes and seismic shifts, The Croods discover an incredible new world filled with fantastic creatures, and a future beyond any they imagined.
The Crood family dynamics, though unfolding a few million years ago, feel like they could come from your own household. Like most fathers, family patriarch Grug (Nicolas Cage) is fiercely protective of his wife and three kids. His hyper-vigilance has kept his cave-bound family safe, secure and…. super-bored. Grug’s strong and dutiful better half, Ugga (Catherine Keener), accepts her husband’s “fear is good; change is bad” mentality, as does their son Thunk (Clark Duke), who’s content with the static status quo. Feisty mother-in-law Gran (Cloris Leachman) never tires of needling (or sometimes assaulting) Grug; and stone-tough toddler Sandy might be the fiercest Crood yet.But leave it to a rebellious teenager (is there any other kind?) to stand up to parental authority. Grug’s sole focus is survival, but Eep (Emma Stone) wants to actually live, and her curiosity about the world outside their cave collides with her dad’s primitive rules. (Ever the defiant outsider, Eep gets her own ledge to sleep on while the rest of the Croods form a “sleep pile” for some group shut-eye.) A cataclysmic event forces the Croods to venture into parts unknown and rethink their way of living. En route, they encounter Guy (Ryan Reynolds), whose dazzling new discoveries–like fire…and shoes–shake up the Croods in unexpected ways. Most of the family (especially Eep) is smitten by Guy’s vision of a new place called “tomorrow,” but Grug sees the biggest calamity yet: a charming teenage boy from which he must “protect” Eep. The Croods soon realize that if they don’t evolve…they’re history.

Just short ones, when our kids get a little bigger we would love to go cross country.
Long, long time ago when I was a kid, my family and I used to take a yearly trip through the Blue Ridge Mountains. I loved to see the leaves turning beautiful colors. Thank you
As a kid, we used to go almost every year to the Blue Ridge Park Way in the Fall when the leaves were changing colors. It was beautiful. thank you
We don’t go on long road trips but do take short ones from time to time to check out the local nature scenes or cruise around the campground. Thanks.

We went to Disneyland. It was great!
We took a trip across country from California to North Caroline and back! It was very interesting.
The most fun we had on a road trip was actually when we moved from Chicago to Dallas. Me, 2 kids, and a dog. It was great.
We usually go to California or Las Vegas for our family road trips because we have family near by!

My father was in the military when I was a kid in the 60′s and we moved every 2 years so we were on roadtrips all the time. You learn how to pass time

My Mom and step Dad take our family to Georgia when i was 6 or 7,we drove the whole way and i hated it.I was too young to care about the adventure i just didn’t want to be in the hot smelly car any more.I also learned that i can’t scarf a bunch of soda and snacks and Not get car sick.The song Sweet Home Alabama was playing on the radio at the time and i swear i never liked that song again without a pain in my stomach.
