It might shock you to learn that Nicolas Cage’s highest grossing film didn’t come from his Holy Trilogy of The Rock, Con Air or Face/Off, nor his two turns as Benjamin Franklin Gates in the National Treasure series but rather from a 2013 animated film that racked up over half a billion at the box office. So come along with us as we Oonga Boonga our way through the first of two films starring Nic as an overprotective cave-dad: The Croods
A caveman father and his prehistoric family must face the hard truth that their way of life is coming to an end as they battle through a harsh new mysterious world with the aid of a young hunk that everyone’s favorite cave-dad isn’t too happy his daughter is taking an interest in.
The Croods stars Deadpool himself Ryan Reynolds, two-time Academy Award winner Emma Stone, Nic’s Kick-Ass co-star and Hot Tub Time Machine star Clark Duke, an indie darling who is quite the boggle player as we learned in Adaptation Catherine Keener, legendary Oscar winning actress whose incredible career spanned EIGHT decades Cloris Leachman, and of course the man who puts the Oonga in all of our Boonga’s Academy Award winning actor and father of the year Nicolas Kim Coppola better known as Nicolas Cage.
