The TVI Take

Joel Crawford's DreamWorks sequel introducing the Bettermans as the more-evolved family the Croods collide with. Class-and-evolution comedy rendered at competent register; the world-design (banana-tree-and-piranha-jungle) is the film's strongest commitment.

Earns its IQ on visual-development work rather than on screenplay ambition.
