The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature's reviews
Media reviews
Variety
If the original Nut Job was about the emergence of a single hero, the sequel is about a collective banding together to combat the powers that be. This is the film's greatest strength.
The Hollywood Reporter
While that let?s-band-together-and-save-the-park setup clearly isn?t the freshest acorn on the tree, director and co-writer Cal Brunker (2013?s Escape From Planet Earth) at least manages to keep all the ensuing chaos.
Los Angeles Times
A searing indictment of capitalistic government corruption.
Indiewire
'The Nut Job 2' is uncomfortable with its most ambitious concepts, bookending them with gross-out nonsense that doesn?t seem engineered to appeal to anyone. Read full review
The Guardian
The summer of inessential animation continues with this very middling sequel to 2014?s semi-forgotten squirrel-based timekiller.
Roger Ebert
Let?s look on the bright side. The running time is barely 90 minutes. And there are but three fairly amusing characters who save this inferior attempt at family entertainment, at least for me.
