The Nut Job 2: Nutty By Nature

Disclaimer:  I was given products for this post for the purpose of review.  i was not paid to write this review.
My boys love to laugh.  They are silly and are always making jokes.  When we see a funny movie/tv show/commercial ect. they memorize some of the lines and will randomly say them...  Sometimes it isn't funny though, Quinn seems to have picked up that "Cash Me outside how bout that" phrase from somewhere and tends to say it to his brother when he is mad!!  But most of the time it is funny.  Which is why we love movies like The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature!!  The entire movie is cute and fun!
The Nut Job 2: Nutty By Nature is coming to Digital on October 31, 2017 and on Blu-ray DVD, and On Demand on November 14, 2017 from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment Surly Squirrel (Arnett) and the gang are back, returning to Liberty Park after they are forced to leave their easy life at the nut store. Getting back to nature is the last thing Surly wants to do, but when a greedy mayor decides to destroy the park to build an amusement park, Surly and his ragtag critter friends must band together to save the place they call home. 

So my thoughts are the movie is def. cute and funny, but it wasn't an instant classic!!  I do feel there was something lacking, but my kiddos didn't seem to think so!  They loved it and want to watch it over and over again.  So I mean at the end of the day it is a kids movie and if the kiddos are happy then who am I to complain!
