Review of The Nut Job (2014) by Moviereviews — 10 Jun 2014

The Nut Job:

Squirrels are suffering from shortage of nuts and have not enough food for winter. These squirrels must fight against this one self-serving squirrel for their only hope of surviving the winter, however things go not as planned. The movie is surprisingly entertaining, funny and heart warming at parts, I did not watch the movie in 3D but I guess it would've been good since animated movies are known for eye popping 3D. However, this movie obviously should have been straight to video,with poor animation I can recall a video game with better graphics that this movie has, it is that type of movie that recycles everything more known and more successful animated movies created and imagined. The characters are either greedy or evil, literally. The one character that could had a chance of being noticeable character missed the shot. The Nut Job is short and just straight to the point. Creating brief history for each card board character that you nearly connect with. Even the positive message doesn't even save this movie, because lessons such not being greedy or self serving are presented in other better animated movies in which you can care for the character. Now despite being surprisingly entertaining it is plain predictable and very easy to forget, children should have a good time but overall I can not recommend The Nut Job. If you are really interested in seeing this movie, rent it, you'll have fun but don't expect much.
