My Thoughts
Early Man is a cute movie about a group of cave men. They are living peacefully in their valley, when suddenly they are overtaken by men from the bronze age. In order to get back their home, the cave men challenge the bronze men to a game of soccer. But they don't know how to play. Even with the help of a new bronze age female who joins their team, they are still struggling until they learn that their ancestors had mastered the game long before their rivals. With a little teamwork, the early men hope to win back their home.
This is a really cute movie with lots of twists and turns. My kids loved all the characters, especially the carrier pigeon who repeated everything he heard. It was exciting to see the cave men take on their rivals, and I love how they were able to mix some modern humor in with the history. This is a great film kids of all ages can enjoy, and it would make a great choice for family movie night. Grab a copy for yourself in stores nationwide or online at Amazon.
