Nutcrackers represents another surprise from David Gordon Green, directing a Ben Stiller comedy that could have come out 20 years ago.
The review of "Nutcrackers" on The A.V. Club discusses the film's attempt to blend dark comedy with a home invasion thriller, focusing on a group of thieves who mistakenly target a rural Ohio home. The film, directed by David Gordon Green, is described as having a unique premise but ultimately failing to deliver on its promise due to a lack of depth in character development and narrative coherence. The review highlights the film's initial setup as intriguing, with elements of humor and tension, but criticizes its descent into absurdity without the necessary wit or insight to make the absurdity work. It notes that while the cast, including Rob Riggle and Ben Stiller, give commendable performances, the script does not provide them with enough material to fully explore their characters or the situation's potential for dark comedy. Overall, "Nutcrackers" is portrayed as a missed opportunity that could have been a sharp satire or a thrilling caper but ends up feeling undercooked and somewhat aimless.
