The Nut Job | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

A pleasant -- if untaxing -- surprise.

Predictably, the tykes will cater to the seemingly colorful antics of Surly Squirrel and his carousing cohorts but this will not be as playful to the grown-ups looking for some leftover irreverence and inspired inside satire.

The story simply plugs away without introducing anything new or exciting, and often just repeating with slight variation. It's relatively dull even for a children's caper movie.

You could definitely do worse, but that's a weak endorsement for a film that should be quickly forgotten in the coming months.

It isn't as rich in content as Ratatouille but, with Liam Neeson voicing a raccoon and lots of kid-specific silliness, it's a nice snack as nuts tend to be.
