Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Pretty much everything in this South Korean co-production is slightly undercooked, lacking the same degree of sprightly wit or dramatic punch regularly found in A-list studio product.

The whole thing looks like a video game you'd rather not play.

The bottom line: Kids may be mildly amused by The Nut Job, but adults accompanying them won't find much to capture their interest.

The Nut Job is a delightfully goofy slapstick cartoon with a surprisingly dark heart.

rotten:
Only a multilevel chase sequence involving Surly and some glowing-eyed street rats has any real kinetic excitement, and the supporting characters lack visual distinction.
