At a time when amazing animated films like "Frozen" are released, a film like "The Nut Job" is barely able to hold your attention for the 85 minutes it runs. (Holy crap it was only 85 minutes?)

I will admit that while the opening credits were running I probably got my expectations a little high, with an honestly stellar voicing cast. The jokes had all been done time and time again. You will find maybe one or two laugh out loud jokes, but if you are anything like me, you will literally be looking at the clock longer than laughing.

The only saving grace for me was Liam Neeson as Racoon. It is hard not to laugh when the various hijinks surrounding his character occur and you think about him using his "certain set of skills." I wanted the movie to have more laughing moments than it did, and as I waited and waited nothing of substance happened. My children watched the movie and said they liked the movie, however, they never once laughed out loud.

LIttle Rascals have been around longer than I have been alive. They made people laugh and go awww at the same time back then and in the 90s when the first movie was released.

First, let me just say that over all the kids that played the Little Rascals was damn near perfect casting. Some of them, like Darla for example, almost looked like the original actress that played her had come back and not aged a single day. You will be consumed by the same laughter you come to expect from these characters. The rascals try different ways to make money for their Grandmas bakery to say up. They have many crazy harebrained ideas, some of which are downright hilarious. The movie really is a great watch for adults and children alike. While the ending I must admit I was not a fan of. I feel just because a movie doesn't end well, that the entire movie is bad.

Overall, it was very enjoyable.
