This movie is perfect for both children and adults! Humor for the whole family

Precious the pug, voiced by Maya Rudolph, is a one of many surprising delights in the new animated feature “The Nut Job.” It’s a 1950s heist caper in which squirrels and their friends target the nut shop where Precious is the ineffective guard dog, hilariously recruited as accomplice to the loner hero, Surly (Will Arnett).Indeed, the movie’s sidekicks are its funniest bits. Other than Precious, Surly’s only friend is an adorably expressive mute rat named Buddy, and the villain, simply called Raccoon (with Liam Neeson’s growl), has his own voiceless enforcer, a cardinal who turns out to be a very angry bird.The main characters are more stock. There’s a limp squirrel love triangle with Surly, feisty Andie (Katherine Heigl) and the curiously cracked Grayson (Brendan Fraser) that never really clicks, and the plot — which also involves human gangsters who are using the nut shop as a front to burrow into a bank vault — runs off the rails toward the end. Judging by the 5-to-7-year-olds seated in front of us, whose questions for Mom came rapid fire as the wacky action ramped up, the movie may leave younger children befuddled.Yet it’s much better than its RottenTomatoes.com ranking, which I have to assume is a function of January awfulness overload. No, “The Nut Job” is not “Toy Story 4.” But both the animation and the story (based on a short by this film’s writer-director, Peter Lepeniotis, an animator on “Toy Story 2” and “Dinosaur”) are better crafted than, say, overrated Oscar nominee “The Croods.” It may trip over its many plot threads, but it’s far from the string of flatulence jokes some reviewers would have you believe.The 3D aspect is a mixed bag — it adds little — but if you’re a fan of underrated animated features like “Flushed Away,” “The Nut Job” has joys to offer: Great backgrounds and character design, lively direction, a wealth of laugh-out-loud gags with “Road Runner” energy — and that pug, who merits mention with such great comic cronies as “Bambi’s” Thumper and “Toy Story’s” Rex.If you’re wondering who made “The Nut Job,” well, so am I. It was funded with $40-million-plus of mostly South Korean money, a fact reflected in a bizarre end-credits sequence that features a CG Psy leading the movie’s characters in the “Gangnam Style” dance. Weird and out of place, but definitely, um, nutty.

Funny and cute family movie! My family saw this movie before when it was out at the movie theater. We decided to watch it again since there is a new Nut Job coming out. My kids are 11 and 12 and still found this movie to be hilarious.This movie has a cute story line and the characters are funny and voiced by some of my favorite actors. Will Arnett, Brendan Fraser, Liam Neeson and Katherine Heigl just to name a few!

Love this movie

This is a cute movie about a squirrel who is kicked out of his home in the city park and ends up finding a place to stay in a nut factory. Of course, he has to encounter bank robbers, and become the hero, but it is a cute, funny movie the whole family can enjoy. It also makes a point that just because you're different, you can still be someone's hero.

First off, since I have a 3D TV I am always looking for a new 3D movie to watch. So I got The Nut Job. The movie is nice, the plot and subplots are good. But for some reason Will Arnett just does not sound like a squirrel to me. His voice just did not do it for me. I am sure kids will like this movie and could probably care less who plays any of the characters in this movie. While not one of my favorites - I don't think I wasted my money.

Movies is kind of ok. Graphics ok, theme ok. A found it a bit weird at time with extra violence not recommended for little ones.

I got this because of getting the second one first and I must say it is an incredible film. My children like it because of the animals and I like it for the comedy.

It's a very lovely adorable cutie movie it's very funny I like the of the characters they look so cute funny I like the way save there forest from being destroyed and give the villains what they deserve this is nice movie for hole family to watch they did a great job making it.

Good for young children, My grand daughter enjoyed it.

HE WILL LIKE THE MOVIE
