It is where they are from and it is where they belong. No greedy leader will take it off. It is due to subtext such as this that I'm inclined to support 'The Nut Job 2. Left, right, and centre isn't on their heads. There was something reassuring about seeing regular schoolers in my screening respond accordingly rapturously into the film.
They laughed in The Mayor's mendaciousness, not using it. There was quiet in a few of the movie's more moving moments where creatures are fearing for his or her lifetime. Kids are kids, but they are not unobservant audiences. There is a mindfulness to both the movie and its potential audience which provides some hope.
Personally, the issue for myself remains: Can I enjoy 'The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature' since my critical faculties were decimated before entrance, or so were my critical faculties decimated by 'The Nut Job two'? I really don't understand. All I recall is my grin walking from the theatre. The film is based on Lepeniotis' short animated film Surly Squirrel.
In the late s fictional town of Oakton City, [2] a purple squirrel named Surly Will Arnett and his mute rat partner Buddy reside in Liberty Park where their thieving reputation has made them outcasts. A group of urban animals led by Raccoon Liam Neeson and his cardinal assistant are running low on food for winter. The squirrels' efforts inadvertently end with the cart's propane tank exploding in the park after its cord was bitten by Fingers' pug Precious Maya Rudolph.
The runaway cart ends up destroying and burning the tree, where the animals store their food. Surly is banished and Buddy follows him. In the city, they find Maury's Nut Shop. Adjacent to the bank, it is a criminal hideout used by Lucky, Fingers, their boss Percy 'King' Dimpleweed Stephen Lang and Knuckles, who plan to break through the wall and replace the bank's cash with nuts. King's girlfriend Lana Sarah Gadon believes King has gone straight and the nut store is legitimate. Raccoon sends Andie and Grayson to the city to find food, but they get separated when a street rat approaches them.
Andie recovers Fingers' dog whistle, which Knuckles threw out and Surly had used against Precious, and threatens to dispose of it if Surly does not share the nuts he is going to take. Surly accepts and unwittingly befriends Precious after threatening her with the whistle. Andie informs the park community of the plan. Raccoon reluctantly goes with the plan and assigns Mole Jeff Dunham and the Bruisers to go with her.
Surly eventually learns from Mole that Raccoon's policy is to control the food supply in order to control the animals, and that Raccoon plans on sabotaging the nut bonanza. When Andie does not believe him, Surly leaves after Grayson reunites with them. After fending off street rats who work for Raccoon, Surly and Grayson chase the criminal gang's getaway truck, which carries Raccoon and the other animals.
Surly fights off Cardinal, and Mole defects from Raccoon and reveals the truth to the animals, resulting in Raccoon being voted out of the park community. King and Knuckles use the dynamite inside the empty truck to blow up a police barricade at a dam, but the police shoots the tire on the truck that falls from the dam.
It explodes after Surly gets himself and Andie off it, and they fall into the river below. Surly makes it to a log, but finds out that Raccoon, King and Knuckles survived the explosion. Raccoon tries to kill Surly, but the nuts' weight begins to break the log. The animals arrive to rescue them, but Surly, deciding to be selfless in order to protect his friends, lets go of the log and falls into the waterfall with Raccoon.
The park community now sees the good side of Surly, and mourns him. The nuts make their way to Liberty Park. King and his associates are arrested as Lana breaks up with King.
Andie and Buddy are still mourning over Surly, and when Precious learns what happened, she has Buddy come look at an unconscious Surly near the river. Doleful to see Surly lifeless, Buddy says his first two words: 'best friend'. Surly wakes up and hugs Buddy.
Finding Surly alive, Andie embraces him and suggests to tell the other animals of his heroism. However, Surly declines, yet gains a willingness to work with others, and goes into the city with Buddy, allowing Grayson to take credit for the nuts making it to the park. During the credits, the animals and humans dance with an animated Psy as he performs 'Gangnam Style'.
In a mid-credits scene, Raccoon and Cardinal are shown to have survived their ordeal and are sulking on a harbor buoy surrounded by sharks while coming up with another plan.
In a post-credits scene, Precious chases Mole to get the bone he is holding that she wants and he drives her away with the dog whistle. On January 17, , it was announced that Lorne Cameron would write the screenplay for the film, along with Peter Lepeniotis.
The site's critical consensus reads, 'Hampered by an unlikable central character and source material stretched too thin to cover its brief running time, The Nut Job will provoke an allergic reaction in all but the least demanding moviegoers.
Peter Debruge of Variety wrote, ' The Nut Job comes up short compared with a film like Ratatouille , which, despite its less-than-adorable rodents, won audiences over through appealing voicework and writing. But here his Surly is just a selfish jerk. If there weren't some redemption involved, this wouldn't be a by-the-numbers animated feature.
But it is, and there is, and it is wholly predictable. Some jokes land, but most kids over 10 will roll their eyes.
Joe Williams of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch gave the film one and a half stars out of four, saying, 'The burnished backgrounds are pleasant to look at, but finding something to savor in the story is a tough nut to crack. Turning a dislikable leading character a little less dislikable by the end credits sets an awfully low bar for this sort of thing. Grandparents getting dragged to The Nut Job will be appreciative.
Scott Bowles of USA Today gave the film one and a half stars out of four, saying, 'When the story gets stale, the movie inserts a 'nuts' pun or, worse, resorts to a gas or burp joke.
