A strait-laced man finds his life suddenly upended when he becomes the caregiver for his rambunctious, orphaned nephews.

It’s sappy as heck and maybe not as funny as you’d expect, but boy does it have heart.

Nutcrackers aims for feel-good comedy but lands more in feel-meh.

Nutcrackers is not exactly robust as uplifting family comedies go, but for audiences willing to get in sync with Green’s free-flowing groove, the emotional payoff will be affecting.

Nutcrackers is a Christmas comedy that's stuck in the past. where family bonding and holiday cheer fail to break through tired 90s clichés.

Rated: C-

The Movie Sleuth

Green and screenwriter Leland Douglas never let the characters breathe and deal with their trauma and “Nutcrackers” succumbs to a series of predictable, cliche and formulaic plot beats that doesn’t have a single authentic bone in its body.

Rated: D+

The sad part is that if the film had taken more time to flesh out some of the more substantial things it wanted to say, Nutcrackers could've been something special.
