So I just squirreled up this trailer that was released last week for The Nut Job.
This movie is being released by Open Road Films, and is directed by Peter Lepeniotis. The main focus of the film is a bunch of squirrels pulling off a bank heist, and of course having a heavily loaded cast consisting of Will Arnett, Liam Neeson, Katherine Heigl, Brendan Fraser, Stephen Lang, Jeff Dunham, and Maya Rudolph. The Nut Job will be in theaters January 17, 2014.
Maybe it’s just me, but the animation seems subpar and the premise seems kind of boring, and just meant as a washed-out, slap-stick comedy.
Okay, okay. I apologize for being so negative.
