Critics Consensus

The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature may be a slight improvement over its predecessor, but its frantic animated antics still offer minimal entertainment to all but the least discriminating viewers.

Helen O'Hara Empire Magazine Loud, silly and tired. Aside from an almost-fun Jackie Chan cameo, this is enough to give anyone a severe nut allergy. Rated: 2/5 Aug 13, 2017 Full Review Robbie Collin Daily Telegraph (UK) The computer graphics are ugly and dated, the plot a clump of clichés, and with one notable exception, you can almost hear the voice cast scrolling through their phones in the recording booth. Rated: 1/5 Aug 13, 2017 Full Review Wendy Ide Observer (UK) It's a decent if unexceptional family option. Rated: 3/5 Aug 13, 2017 Full Review Julian Lytle Punch Drunk Critics So from all this, I think you can see I didn't really care for this movie, I think people should really sit this one out and let it fail so that hopefully they learn not to put out a project like this into the market just to make a little cash. Rated: 1.5/5 Jan 11, 2020 Full Review Cate Marquis We Are Movie Geeks Fans of the first film may like this more coherent sequel but otherwise The Nut Job 2 is pretty forgettable stuff, and seems unlikely to generate a third movie. Rated: 2/5 Apr 26, 2019 Full Review S. Indra Sathiabalan The Sun Daily (Malaysia) The story is predictable, but it is much better that the sleep-inducing first movie... But go watch it as a standalone film, and you will be fine. Mar 9, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
