Critics Review

Surly and his friends, Buddy, Andie and Precious discover that the mayor of Oakton City is cracking one big hustle to build a giant yet quite-shabby amusement park, which in turn will bulldoze their home, which is the city park, and it's up to them and the rest of the park animals to stop the mayor, along with his daughter and a mad animal control officer from getting away with his scheme, and take back the park. The Nut Job pushed a message that teamwork is good, “The Nut Job 2” is more focused on dismantling personal and governmental greed — through any means necessary.

AV Club

Kids might like it, though parents might feel conflicted about how they absorb an early lesson that receiving free food without hours of soul-crushing work leads to laziness.

The Guardian

Restless, detailed design aids his cause, but there’s only so far anybody can sustain the kind of rote narrative – involving the redevelopment of Surly’s parkland terrain – that needs to be hustled through before accompanying adults investigate the availability of refunds.

The Wrap

'The Nutty Job 2' politics are humanitarian. It’s pro-environment, pro-animal life, and anti-consumerism. In short: Democrats will love it, Republicans will want to love it, but won’t, and everyone else will probably just be pleased to see quick-witted talking squirrels.

The Hollywood Reporter

An animated adventure featuring a frantic menagerie of urban park dwellers, the feature boasted little that separated it from the anthropomorphic pack save for a scene-stealing Maya Rudolph as an eager-to-please pug and the striking Damon Runyon-inspired, throwback art direction.
