The Nut Job 2 Nutty by Nature Review
Really, really good!
In Season four, Episode eleven of comedian Jerry Seinfeld's eponymous sitcom, he tells his mother, "I like kids' shows. They have a very innocent, wholesome quality." Some kids' movies hold the aforementioned entreatment for adults, not based on whatsoever double-entendres the writers insert into the script to keep adults entertained, but simply because of the good, clean fun inherent in the moving-picture show. "The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature" (PG, 1:31) is such a movie. Only information technology wasn't always this manner with the franchise'due south characters. The genesis of this motion-picture show goes back to a 2005 blithe brusk chosen "Surly Squirrel". The title character was more than surly. He was downright hateful. Y'all might even call him evil. That animated brusque (which is available on YouTube) also included enough adult language and violence that it could've received a PG-thirteen rating from the MPAA. Still, information technology proved to be a good starting point for its writer/director, Peter Lepeniotis.
2014 saw the release of the animated characteristic "The Nut Chore", which Lepeniotis co-wrote and directed. He made his squirrel friend the protagonist this fourth dimension (not quite every bit mean, merely nevertheless pretty bearish) and fabricated the plot more than child-friendly. In spite of depression ratings from critics, enough kids and adults saw the pic that it earned nigh $120 1000000 worldwide (nigh iii times what information technology cost to brand) and quickly earned a greenlight for the sequel. Originally, Lepeniotis was fix to write and Carl Brunker ("Escape from Planet World") to directly, merely Lepeniotis left the project. Brunker did straight – and also co-wrote – with Bob Barlen and Scott Bindley, all three of whom were already working on the 3rd film in the franchise (for a 2019 release), fifty-fifty before the second hit theaters. But never fright, "Nut Job" fans. (I didn't mean that the way it sounded.) The sequel does well in the continuity section, with near of the main characters returning (voiced mostly past the original actors) and a plot that picks upwards where its predecessor left off.
The animals of Liberty Park are thoroughly enjoying access to the abased neighborhood nut shop. Surly Squirrel (again voiced by Will Arnett) is the hero who fabricated it all happen and he, forth with almost of his furry friends, accept practically moved into the basement, which has become a combination 24-hour cafe, dark lodge and amusement park. The animals are eating, drinking and making merry like the good times will never end, but one of their own is sounding the alarm. Surly's friend and fellow squirrel, Andie (Katherine Heigl), is complaining that the animals are forgetting how to get food for themselves and that the way they are living is unnatural. She also warns that this state of affairs can't continue forever. When it turns out that she was correct, anybody looks to Surly for guidance. He assures them he can observe food and takes his practically mute and none-also- vivid partner-in-crime, Buddy (Tom Kenny), with him. Not just practise none of Surly'south ideas pan out, only he and Buddy run afoul of a tiny white city mouse named Mr. Feng (Jackie Chan) who admittedly hates being called "cute" and sicks his many mousy minions on the pair.
But soon, Surly and company have bigger bug than a cute (yep, I said information technology), angry Kung Fu mouse, or a food shortage. They're almost to become homeless! An overweight, egotistical, entitled and greedy politico (this cartoon is a mayor) simply called "Mayor" (SNL's Bobby Moynihan) is making plans to monetize the just place in the city that doesn't assistance fill his coffers – Liberty Park. He's decided to bulldoze it and employ the land for an entertainment park (one that looks to be equally dangerous to the metropolis's residents every bit he is). Meanwhile, the female person pug (and friendly, but annoying face licker) named Precious (Maya Rudolph) is snatched out of the park by the Mayor'south spoiled piddling girl (Isabela Moner). She brings Precious dwelling and stuffs her in a cage with her male person bulldog named Frankie (Bobby Cannavale) who takes an immediate liking to Precious. Back in the park, Surly has to larn a few things well-nigh teamwork and getting along with others if the animals are going to have any risk of saving their dwelling.
"The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature" has everything an audience member can inquire for in an animated feature, regardless of the Film Fan'south historic period. There are fun characters, an engaging story and unusually good action sequences (for an animated movie). In that location are also plenty of laughs (very good jokes, puns and sight gags), movie homages ("Toy Story", "Mad Max", "Back to the Futurity" and "300") and lessons for all (including selflessness, teamwork and the importance of working for what you need). Some of the adults in the avant-garde screening I attended commented that this moving-picture show was ameliorate than the start one and the kids effectually me seemed to exist having a good time besides. Transitions between story elements were a little awkward, but this sequel is still terrifically entertaining family fun and is one of the best animated sequels since "Toy Story 2". "A-"

Actually Was really Funny!
Alert: Spoilers
So I did watch the original when it came out but tin't actually remember the quondam pic so I was going into this picture show fresh, now this film was a good watch and actually made me & others laugh at points throughout the film.
The film does have quite a high pace, which is not a bad thing, the animation was really crisp and the detail on the animals was really well done tbh, non that the kids would notice. As always with animation the human characters where excellently designed including the main villain, the Mayor! The story is nigh the Mayor wanting to demolish the park and put an amusement land there, but the animals accept to fight back past causing chaos with the diggers etc, which is all adept fun to watch!
Overall I enjoyed the film and I honey blitheness films, defo worth a watch if you want to laugh!

Equally good or amend than the original
The Nut Job 2 is wonderful! With some movies, the sequel is never equally skillful as the original, only with this picture, they are both awesome films. There is never a boring part or unnecessary scene. It keeps y'all wanting more than and gets y'all really fastened about the characters' lives. The background music really helps keep the story going and makes the chase scenes more suspenseful since in that location are no silent moments.
In the flick, an accident happens and all the animals who are eating at the nut shop are forced to move back to the park. Unfortunately, Mayor Muldoon (Bobby Moynihan) has some nefarious plans to destroy the park. So, Surly (Volition Arnett) and his friends take to find a way to work together to save the park.
One of the things I care for in both of The Nut Job films is the animation. I love how you can see every unmarried hair on all the animals and how each one is dissimilar. Another thing that I love about this film is the music. That, you can thank Heitor Pereira for. The music goes with the lines and scenes and so well, that it truly enhances the story. My favorite character is Buddy considering, even though he never talks, he is always in that location for Bearish and it's funny to run into Buddy's expressions that brand it seem equally if he's talking. I too really like the backstory showing Surly and Buddy'southward friendship. Another thing I really similar is Mr. Feng'southward (Jackie Chan) tail because information technology makes him more intimidating, which adds to his character. My favorite scene is when Andie (Katherine Heigl) starts singing about how the park is their domicile and they make a joke almost how "no one can break into a spontaneous song." Go watch information technology and you'll meet!
The two letters in this motion picture are to work together, which this movie is all about, and that nothing comes like shooting fish in a barrel. This message comes into place when the animals accept to motion dorsum to the park and scrounge for nutrient. I rate this film v out of v stars because of the extraordinary animation, plot and music. I recommend this pic for ages five to 14 and parents and older siblings will enjoy it likewise.

We're all going to die!
Alert: Spoilers
The life of ease, with all the animals getting "lazy, spoiled, and fat" comes to an end. The mayor has decided the park should be an amusement park, depriving our critters from their habitation. Our anarchist animals fight back. At that place are lessons about working together, friendship, and not spontaneously singing.
Jackie Chan voices a martial arts mouse whose hands are "weapons of mouse destruction" Yeah, it was that type of humor. Fun for adults too. Chan had a line that fabricated me think of the Niemöller quote.

A nutty improvement
Expectations admittedly were not high going into 'The Nut Job 2: Nutty By Nature'. Didn't think that highly of the first moving picture, while not hating it (a case of peachy blitheness and some vocal standouts but very lazy writing), and like with the start picture show the advertizement was not promising at all. Judging from how a number of sequels fare, the point of 'The Nut Job' actually needing a sequel was questioned.
Being a lifelong fan of animation and seeing as there are some proficient actors in the vocal cast, doubts were cast aside despite non expecting much. So it was a surprise that 'The Nut Task 2: Nutty Past Nature' was much ameliorate than expected, really not being a bad film and better than the ad made it look, and was an improvement over its predecessor. It may not be a great movie and not a film that volition go downward in history or be remembered for years to come, but it could take been far worse.
'The Nut Job 2: Nutty By Nature' has a number of strengths. The animation is swell, and more polished than the animation in 'The Nut Job'. It's colourful and vibrant-looking, with admirable attention to item in the expressions (especially with Buddy) and backgrounds and the characters are cute without being cutesy and look more polished in design. The bright and breezy soundtrack is also very catchy, even enhancing what'southward going on and there is null that makes you lot groan like "Gangnam Way".
On the virtually role, the voice interim is very good. A bubbly and sassy Maya Rudolph, a ray of sunshine and really makes the motion-picture show come live, is the standout, and Jackie Chan was a large surprise. He seemed a bizarre casting choice on paper but he came over as very lively and also gave some verve. Bobby Cannavale is charming and amusing, and while Buddy is largely silent (ah the power of making a character fun and likable through actions and expressions primarily with not so many words) Tom Kenny proves how talented he is and the chemistry between Buddy and Surly gives the movie some heart.
Will Arnett and Katherine Heigl are much better than earlier. Arnett this time doesn't take Surly's surliness to extremes and he doesn't come over equally likewise snarky or smug, voicing with more free energy and wit. Heigl tones down the Rom-com cutesiness and does well being the voice of reason. By and large the writing is better. Liked the relatable and relevant letters and how they were dealt with in the picture show, children and adults akin volition appreciate them. Likewise with the homages, recognising them and how they were integrated put a smile on my face, and there were some witty i liners and amusing gags that are generally more than tasteful. Oh and the mice are scene stealers.
However, while 'The Nut Job 2: Nutty By Nature' is tighter paced and there is more of a story it feels too much this time circular. The story can experience too busy and rushed, with too much going on and as well many characters. This does cede depth to the characters and the subplots, which tend to be underdeveloped. The humour doesn't come up off consistently either, needing sharper timing and a less frenetic pace.
Parts did experience tired and are more juvenile than witty. While the humor is more tasteful more often than not, one gag does come over as vulgar and leaves a bad taste in the mouth involving vomiting out food and eating it up again (not to be viewed while eating).
A few of the characters don't work, particularly the hugely irritating Heather voiced in an overbearingly shrill fashion by Isabela Moner. The clichéd mayor character annoys more than than he intimidates. Gunther is wonderfully voiced by Peter Stormare and he is the fun and menacing graphic symbol that the mayor should have been, simply in that location are times where the character is at odds with the residual of the picture show'due south tone.
Overall, not great but better than expected and better than 'The Nut Task'. 6/10 Bethany Cox

Returning domicile and fighting back for it.
Frankly, I did non call up there volition a sequel, but this ane came out and I say I'm non fully disappointed. Information technology is an adequate flick with a good message told with total of cliches. The story continued from where the previous 1 had ended. Right abroad a new adventure begins. Surly and his friends, after losing their stock of food, now forced to return to their natural habitation, the park. But the place is getting turned into an amusement park by an evil mayor. So they plan to fight dorsum and how they succeed are the revealed in the remaining part.
As I said, not bad. At least the children would enjoy it better. The new characters are good, but that did not bring more fun. The comedies were average. With this yr's average outcome from all the animated feature that had released, this film does not look so bad at all. Just if the story had been much better, information technology would have achieved a ameliorate upshot. The product and all the voice-over piece of work were good. I don't know there will be another sequel, only I don't wish, except if they come up upward with some good story to tell for all ages. Information technology's just in one case watchable!

This film tells the story of a bunch of animals in a park, whose home is being destroyed by the mayor's conclusion to build a theme park on the park.
The story is quite fun, and the animals are cute. Jackie Chan'southward character is funny as the leader of Chinatown mice. Information technology volition keep children entertained.

The blitheness looks great, and it's full of high quality visual effects. I would recommend information technology to everyone who likes Pixar or DreamWorks movies.

At present this is how yous practice animation.
I'll be damned, this is a total jawdropper. It's like a love child of Madagascar three and Zootopia. And, male child, does it brand its parents eat their shorts.
The Nut Job ii has everything in fine proportions: quality animation, breathtaking action, various kinds of humor with tons of quipping, total adequacy and self-awareness, cynicism and, of course, the moral center.
This is what modern animations sorely lack. They are either way besides pretentious or are simply in your confront. And that'southward even including some original pictures, like Shrek or Madagascar.
The Nut Job ii doesn't have these weaknesses, while it properly inherits the activeness and the ability to make a valid point. The closest blitheness I can compare to - is the first animation I've given 10\10 rating, How to Train Your Dragon(the original). It also had the blitheness, the moral and proper pacing.
Now, of grade, I can't exactly compare these two. HTTYD had some of the best scores in blitheness history, and in that location are enough of classics that also deserve x\x. I'1000 usually nitpicky, but for this picture show I just desire to brand an exception. Information technology could exist 8\ten, it should be 9\10, only, for the sake of the quality of IMDb content and the modernistic critic reviews in general, I'd dare say this is a 10\10 material.
With all the B-rated animation we've been getting recently, from the biggest studios, no less, this flick stands as a shining case of a sequel that manages to do better than the original. And this is something worth looking out for.
I know this is supposed to be spoiler-free, but I can't believe this is the one animation that actually dared to take a hit at Disney'south awful singing(well, at to the lowest degree in the modern animations). And this movie actually had Jackie Chan acting for once, later on THREE Kung-Fu Panda flops! While the rest of the American industry tries to pander to the Chinese in every fashion possible, The Nut Job two actually does it in a hilarious and quite respectful manner. I'd say that this part was borrowed from The Life of Pets, just... The execution was only heaven and earth. You don't see gangsta bunnies turning to toilet humor here.
I hope that this "indie marvel" will get a 3rd role. That's really going to be difficult to meridian this one off, but if they get a proper score, something close to HTTYD, while retaining the same arroyo of direction - information technology will be the movie for the books.

I was like everyone, the commencement pic was awful. Merely I decided to give the sequel a second chance and went to run into it in theaters. And this what I call back well-nigh the picture show:
I thought the second ane was going to exist worse than the outset one. Only when I saw it in theaters, I was shocked. I was surprisingly impressed! The 2nd one is 100% improve than the first 1. The directors did a lot of comeback on the second one, the animation is neat, characters are likable, story is ameliorate and information technology was entertaining. I remember this movie is worth to watch and people should forget nearly the showtime one. This might be the get-go fourth dimension that the sequel is better than the first movie. I did a movie review on The Nut Job 2 on YouTube (https://world wide web.youtube.com/watch?v=o8Fdl_pi2_E) I am proud of the directors for making the second ane better, the animators did a not bad chore with the blitheness and I can't wait for a tertiary one. Families should go see this movie, trust me, you volition enjoy information technology.

This flick will exist hated by President Putin'southward 100 million or and then 5th Columnists . . .

Pretty forgettable. Fine for the little ones.
Warning: Spoilers
I saw this motion picture a few weeks ago in the cinemas as my younger brother wanted to meet it and and so I decided to sentry it with him and my mom. The Nut Chore 2 is a sequel to the 2010 motion picture of the same name and tells the story of a squirrel(voiced by Will Arnett) who along with his furry friends(one voiced by Katherine Heigl)also as a cute mouse (voiced by THEE Jackie Chan)are trying to save their park as an evil mayor is trying to build a fun park and destroy the animal's country. Of course its up to the furry friends to save their park and of course salvage the twenty-four hours.
The animation is good but the story is sorta dull to be honest. I can't even recall half of it as I was totally zoned out in a few scenes.
If y'all take fiddling ones they might like it. For me it was boilerplate. Funny in some parts and its NO Norm Of The N(which was the worst animated film I seen last year still is btw).

Why? Just....why?
Warning: Spoilers
C'mon, people. What are nosotros doing? How did nosotros, as the human race, go here? How is information technology that I, a 31-year-old with a full-time chore, a community of friends, and a family, have to spend 3+ hours and 250 published words viewing and because the value of The Nut Chore two? Why does this even be? The first barely fabricated an impression of any kind on the culture, all the same because of our obsession with familiarity, a 2d is thrusted upon usa like so many unwanted vermin. In this outing, the central group of pocket-sized woodland creatures has to protect their park-home from a greedy Mayor's plans to plow information technology into a shoddy entertainment park. It's technically a comedy, but the jokes are excruciatingly unfunny, and, as if we're sitting in a terrible sitcom writers' room, are constantly being explained to united states of america. Arnett'southward squirrel "hero" Surly is still in the lead, continuing his bid for one of the worst protagonists in history; he's selfish, static, unfunny, whiny, and annoying. Jackie Chan joins the nonsense this time, begging the question: is at that place any improve case of waste than only using Chan as a voice-actor? It'southward a careless mess, with little positive to write about. Certain, there are a couple of jokes that marginally piece of work, and the incessant amount of obnoxious vehicle crashes and activity sequences look fine for what they are. Honestly, this might actually be a scrap meliorate than the offset, simply so what? Sure Transformers films are better than others as well, but they're still all God-awful. Nut Chore ii is a humorless, soulless, angry and mean-spirited throwaway that yous probably won't and definitely shouldn't encounter.

total of noise and fury
Surly's takeover of the shop has given the nut-loving community an unlimited cafe. Andie refuses to join as she struggles to preach a hard working ethics. When the shop blows up, Surly pledges to detect the group another like shooting fish in a barrel food source. Meanwhile, Mayor Muldoon intends to drive the idyllic Liberty Park and turn it into amusement park Liberty Land.
This one continues the barely functional animated franchise. Information technology's a repetitive serial of action scenes and more than action. The writing isn't that funny. An amusement park is non that threatening every bit far equally paving over paradise. It's more about bring in a colorful set to have fun chasing through. This is better than others similar the Chipmunks but it'due south nowhere near the Minions.

Weak story, great animation. Non that bad.
Felt information technology was a lot better than it's box role gross is stating
The very weak subtitle gives you an idea of how stupid the plot was going to exist. The story was very calendar week for an animated feature. I always expect better stories when it comes to children's based animation, simply somehow the story did not click. Also clunky and overstuffed making it too unclear to hit the mark.
The animation was skillful, however. Loved the character design, especially the pb squirrel, Surly. In fact, all the characters looked cool,and the motion of the picture was great. The movie would have done amend if they turned off the audio (or only the the unfunny dialog) then we can but watched the characters move around. The good animation had a lot to do with the fact that they were adjusting everything for the 3D purchasers, which is fine. It's a perfect 3D picture show.
Plus I liked the end credits with outtakes from Jackie Chan, who had a small function in the motion-picture show. If y'all are a Chan fan it will brand you grin.
Overall, bad story to bang-up animation. I've seen the vise versa. It'south usually story over animation., which would about likely make for a ameliorate picture, overall.

'The Nut Task 2: Nutty By Nature': The Very Definition of Laziness
'The Nut Job 2: Nutty By Nature'
'The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature' is a 2017 computer animated moving-picture show produced by Open Route Films, creators of 'Justin Bieber's Believe.'
'The Nut Job 2' is a bad film, but not the kind of bad that you can bask. Rather, it'south a film that robs any enthusiasm, hope, or low-cal inside of you and destroys information technology. It's not clever, or fun, or in anyway bears a semblance of enjoyment. Information technology is cold upon commitment, and until its conclusion you, the ignorant viewer, are forced to witness its ramblings.
The plot itself is not grounded, or devoted to making a betoken, or even interested in carrying some sort of purpose. It just ...is.
Bearish Squirrel and his pack of forest critters are living off the fruition of an abandoned nut shop for several years now. However, in the procedure many have lost their cardinal instincts. This, in itself, is an interesting idea. For a children'southward film produced by a mediocre studio, it is, dare I say it, an innovative and of import concept. However, because subtlety appears to be gone nowadays, we see our villain, a fellow chosen Mayor Muldoon, your typical onenote kid's bad guy; a rich, fat, bald male with a bratty redhead daughter. Muldoon wants to tear down the park and in its place install a local entertainment park. The animals now must protect their love park, while also transitioning back to their original instincts due to the recent destruction of their Nut Shop.
In ane scene, Bearish takes on an impending bulldozer by biting an unidentified wire, which inexplicably launches the dozer into the air and flips it around a bit.
I could explain, or rather, an eight year old could explicate, why the essential laws of gravity would disprove this scene. Only do I really desire to? It's the 'Nut Job' sequel. Yous know what y'all're getting into.
Hither are some actual lines of dialogue really uttered in 'The Nut Chore two.'
"They threw our potty in the river."
"More similar Dustalicios!"
"We're all gonna die!" (Mouse says it about 12 times whenever something negative happens)
"I'g Frankie, you're Precious! That makes united states Frecious!"
"And so many mailboxes!" (Surly crashes into mailbox a thou total of 5 times)
The only line I laughed at in this unabridged film was when someone said, "It'due south funny how rapidly rock lesser sneaks up on yous." Not considering of the character's situation, just because I really identified with that.
i/10
10% (Rotten)

Predictable
Saw this concluding dark and I wish I could compromise and allow them keep the money only give me ii those two hours of my life back. To be off-white, cartoons are ever a hard sell on me, but this one really didn't do information technology. There was very little original in information technology, and I can count the number of laughs it got out of me I three fingers. And my God, the villains... "What can nosotros do to make them even more dislikeable? Look, I know! We'll brand them fat! Because fatty people are horrible!". I miss movies similar the incredibles and monsters inc.

Meh - At Least Information technology's Short
It is strange that Nut Job 2's largest issues pile up and so high that they inadvertently go its biggest asset? The motion picture is clunky, thematically dubious and stiflingly unfunny just information technology comes at you at such a abiding pace that its 60 minutes and a half run time feels like a Band-Assist is being unceremoniously ripped off. It's a bad flick, that's for certain, but because the taste of The Emoji Movie is still corroding in my mouth, The Nut Task 2 does feel like a chip of a palette cleanser.
The movie follows our posse of park dwelling critters just later on their success in the starting time film fabricated them the sole owners of a corner nut shop. After a sudden explosion leaves them without a nutrient supply, Surly Squirrel (Arnett) the annoying leader of the group tries other go-fat-quick schemes to avoid going back to scrounging for nuts in the park. Scrounging however may not be an pick either. While Bearish tries and fails to get together food for the group, the metropolis Mayor (Moynihan) hatches plans for a new development at the park, taking abroad what little the animals have left.
Nutty past Nature doesn't solve the myriad of problems from the offset movie and instead makes them worse. Surly is nonetheless a selfish, proud, small-minded, ungrateful lead that never actually learns anything substantial or gets his but desserts (aside from pratfalling on a couple of mailboxes). The way he goes virtually solving problems and honoring his posse's undying loyalty feels almost Angry Bird (2016) level in the way it inverts positive messaging and insults its audience.
The largest victim of Surly'south machinations is fellow squirrel Andie (Heigl), whose maxims of "Hard work always pays off," and "There are no shortcuts," comes across every bit a nagging mother telling you to consume your vegetables. Bearish proves not merely dismissive but openly hostile to her concerns and she never gets an "I told you lot so moment" to offset his vitriol. Rather the flick sidesteps Andie and anyone with an bodily worthwhile betoken to concentrate on zany hijinks and the dubious motives of our supposed heroes and villains.
For what it's worth the villains of this mess are objectively worse than its heroes. The Mayor is greedier and infinitely more cocky-serving than Surly is. He'southward besides so broadly drawn and obnoxious, audiences liable to recall the character was created by a vi-year-sometime tasked with making a new Captain Planet (1990-1996) villain. Then at that place'due south the Mayor's petulant daughter (Moner) who is basically Darla from Finding Nemo (2003) with a fetish for animal cruelty. At one point a graphic symbol says, "So this is what they mean when they say 'there were warning signs'." It'southward funny because information technology'southward true.
There are other small smidgens of this picture worth a chuckle, including the late addition of Jackie Chan to the bandage, but there'southward nothing really substantial enough to warrant a watch. If you're really so inclined to sentry this picture with your kids, try going out to the park instead. Your kids volition probably become the same uncomfortable feeling of adrenaline and nausea from spinning in circles real fast. Just don't lap up the remains subsequently.

Your Nuts if you pass this movie up. LOL
Your Basics if you pass this motion-picture show up. LOL This is a feel good family unit movie that has something for all ages and is truly a rarity in family entertainment. Jackie Chan is hilarious equally i of the master characters in this film. I am surprised that he doesn't do more animated films. This is truly a movie reflective of the times. Reflective of the fashion I similar to run into life. Strife can be overcome by different beings {animals in this case} when they work towards a common goal. ALTHOUGH It DOES Accept SOME VIOLENCE AND A NASTY Child It IS STILL WORT WATCHING. James Welch Henderson, Arkansas 12-20-2020
