The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature
The Press Reviews
Loud, silly and tired. Aside from an almost-fun Jackie Chan cameo, this is enough to give anyone a severe nut allergy. Full Review
A searing indictment of capitalistic government corruption. Full Review
As an animated entertainment, "The Nut Job 2" lacks several key factors: memorable characters, a fun story, jokes that will appeal to adults as well as little kids. Full Review
The jokes are thin, the computer animation is wanting and the inane plot is a series of set pieces strung together. Full Review
Once again Arnett, Heigl and company simply don't come off as dimensionally warm and engaging as required. Full Review
The summer of inessential animation continues with this very middling sequel to 2014's semi-forgotten squirrel-based timekiller. Full Review
The computer graphics are ugly and dated, the plot a clump of clichés, and with one notable exception, you can almost hear the voice cast scrolling through their phones in the recording booth. Full Review
The best you can say for Cal Brunker's The Nut Job 2: Nutty By Nature is that it's slightly less dopey than it sounds. Full Review
An amiable, but unmemorable animated adventure. Full Review
