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.

Frantic animals run around doing frantic animal stuff in this boring, stupid, depthless animated film.

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

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

It's a decent if unexceptional family option.

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

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

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.
