Reviews & comments
Vanity Fair
pressAs 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.
The Telegraph
pressThe 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.
The New York Times
pressThe jokes are thin, the computer animation is wanting and the inane plot is a series of set pieces strung together.
The Guardian
pressThe summer of inessential animation continues with this very middling sequel to 2014's semi-forgotten squirrel-based timekiller.
Sydney Morning Herald
pressThe 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.
Hollywood Reporter
pressOnce again Arnett, Heigl and company simply don't come off as dimensionally warm and engaging as required.
Empire Magazine
pressLoud, silly and tired. Aside from an almost-fun Jackie Chan cameo, this is enough to give anyone a severe nut allergy.
