If you didn't get a chance to catch this movie in theaters you'll definitely want to jump on board when it's available for purchase. It's guaranteed to make you laugh (well, at least in my opinion it is). We got an advanced copy last week and I thought it was hilarious. Of course I'm a person that just can't get enough of Scrat from the Ice Age movies. Every time he came on screen I immediately focused my attention to see what he was going to do next. So when I heard about The Nut Job movie I couldn't wait to watch it too. And as luck would have it I found myself laughing once again at the crazy stuff Surly (the squirrel in The Nut Job) did throughout the movie.
Here are a few fun activities to keep you busy until tomorrow when you can come back here and enter to win a copy of The Nut Job on Blu-Ray and DVD!
