It’s not at all clear why we need another Nut Job. The filmmakers didn’t crack it first time round and haven’t done any better on the second attempt. Surely it’s time now to knock these animated rodents on the head.
Loud, silly and tired. Aside from an almost-fun Jackie Chan cameo, this is enough to give anyone a severe nut allergy.
Charmless sequel to a mediocre original, featuring the voices of Will Arnett and Katherine Heigl.
