REVIEW SUMMARY
"At it's heart, Early Man is a (fairly cliched) sports film. The stop motion animation is done very well and on par with Park's other great films. The voice acting is really fun as well, especially Tom Hiddleston's Lord Nooth. Can we get him to do more animated roles please?! And while there is some cheeky and crude humour here, it could have used a few more belly laughs. In the end, this is a film that's warm and charming – just not all that original."
