At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

How can a movie so good have such low ratings??? People must be brainwashed... They do not appreciate quality. The movie is very funny and it is full of messages hidden behind the appearances... I pity the brainwashed people... WATCH THIS MOVIE, HAVE FUN AND KEEP AN OPEN MIND!!!

I thought the second one was going to be worse than the first one. But when I saw it in theaters, I was shocked. I was surprisingly impressed! The second one is 100% better than the first one. The directors did a lot of improvement on the second one, the animation is great, characters are likable, story is better and it was entertaining. I think this movie is worth to watch and people should forget about the first one. This might be the first time that the sequel is better than the first movie. I did a movie review on The Nut Job 2 on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8Fdl_pi2_E) I am proud of the directors for making the second one better, the animators did a great job with the animation and I can't wait for a third one. Families should go see this movie, trust me, you will enjoy it.

. . . currently infesting our once-great USA Homeland, as NUT JOB 2's lead villain--"Mayor Muldoon"--talks, walks, and acts exactly like the despicable Red Commie White House Tool, Don Juan Rump. The mercenary mayor (clearly based upon Putin's Chief Money Launderer) is matched by an equally mercenary daughter, Heather Muldoon, that will put most viewers in mind of Iwanna "Buy Her Stuff" Rump. Putin's always been jealous of America's Natural Treasures, which is why he recently had his Administration announce through Rump and other Red Commie mouthpieces that the USA's National Monuments, Parks, Forests, Wildlife Refuges, and "Indian" Reservations are being gradually sold off to the highest bidder for oil drilling, coal mining, gas wells, lumber clear-cutting, as well as the killing off the last of the grizzly bears, buffalo, moose, elk, bald eagles, condor, and whooping cranes, and so forth, just as Mayor Muldoon bulldozes "Liberty Park" to create his squalid "Libertyland." Nut Job 2 even has a flashback scene to one of Putin's Superstorms, which are now attacking America like cars on a freight train, thanks to Vlad's vodka binge-drinking buddy, Rex "Exxon Valdez" Tillerson, whom Al Gore singled out during the 2000 Campaign as the one man most responsible for Global Warming. (Putin, of course, appointed Tillerson as U.S. Secretary of State--a few heartbeats away from the White House in the Official Line of Succession--after Mr. T lent his name to the Unnatural MegaHurricanes, such as Harvey, Irma, Jose, and the one shown in NUT JOB 2, collectively now referred to as T-Rex Storms!).

The life of ease, with all the animals getting "lazy, spoiled, and fat" comes to an end. The mayor has decided the park should be an amusement park, depriving our critters from their home. Our anarchist animals fight back. There are lessons about working together, friendship, and not spontaneously singing.Jackie Chan voices a martial arts mouse whose hands are "weapons of mouse destruction" Yes, it was that type of humor. Fun for adults too. Chan had a line that made me think of the Niemöller quote.
