THE NUT JOB is a heist movie about a squirrel who has been kicked out of his home for causing mayhem and trouble who now finds himself fending for himself in the big city. It is a cute enough concept concept but it is terribly executed with few laughs that stem from surprisingly old references that date this new animated movie greatly. In fact, you might have to actually be a nut to enjoy this film. The voice cast, led by Will Arnett, is the only part of the movie that was reasonably enjoyable. Arnett plays Surly, a self-centred squirrel who orchestrates the robbery a nut cart to prepare for winter. Unbeknownst to Surly, Racoon (Liam Neeson) is sending his own team of squirrels, Grayson (Brendan Fraser) and Andie (Katherine Heigl), after the same nut cart to find enough food for their winter. Hijinks ensue as things get out of hand. The cart has a gas leak, which leads to a fire that spreads to tree that these critters rely on for regular food.
In animated 3D, THE NUT JOB is an action-packed comedy in fictional Oakton that follows the travails of Surly (voiced by Will Arnett), a mischievous squirrel, and his rat friend Buddy, who plan a nut store heist of outrageous proportions and unwittingly find themselves embroiled in a much more complicated and hilarious adventure.
The damage comes from a nut cart flying like a bat out of hell into the tree, a scenario that distastefully recalls 9/11. This notion may have been easier to shake off if the sequence wasn’t immediately followed by an earnest discourse on criminal due process among the tree’s denizens. The rest of Surly’s adventuring, including a climactic face-off with the Liam Neeson-voiced Raccoon, is telegraphed so plainly and passively by the filmmakers that this early sequence stands out as the lone memorable instance of this talking-animals trifle.
The characteristic is founded on director and co-writer Peter Lepeniotis’ award triumphant 2005 short Surly Squirrel and is a collaboration between Canadian animation studio ToonBox Entertainment, Redrover Co. and Gulfstream images. Graham Moloy and WK Jung made the animation alongside Mike Karz, Bill Bindley, Jay Ahn, Daniel Woo, Hong Kim and Tom Yoon assisting as boss producers. Ths screenplay was in writing by Lorne Cameron.
