WHAT’S IT ABOUT?
In a city park, Surly Squirrel (Arnett) is banished from his animal community after he unintentionally destroys their food cache. However, when he discovers a nut store he recruits his former park brethren to perform a raid, while at the same time avoiding a group of gangsters who are committing a bank robbery at the same time…
IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?
The Nut Job is a post-modern attempt to recreate the humour and pacing of the classic Looney Tunes cartoons, and should prove worthwhile entertainment for families.
