The Nut Job

After he accidentally destroys the winter food supply of his fellow Liberty Park residents, Surly (Will Arnett), a squirrel, is banished to the streets of Oakton. Luckily, Surly finds the town's nut shop and hatches a plan to plunder its bounty.

However, unbeknown to Surly and his ragtag team of animal associates, the nut shop is really a front for mobsters who plan to rob the bank next door. While Surly and his team break in to the shop, the mobsters carry out their own scheme.

Critic Reviews:

• " A pleasant – if untaxing – surprise. " – Cleaver Patterson

• " Lepeniotis demonstrates deep artistic vision and a deft hand at pacing. It will be interesting to see what he does next. " – Tom Meek

• " While overall entertaining and a sure crowd-pleaser to the younger set, with The Nut Job, some elements of the film are chestnuty warm and tasty, roasted to perfection, while others prove to be a tough nut to crack. " – Debbie Lynn Elias
