Storks Reviews
This unexpectedly charming animation bursts out of the screen with an aesthetic that is a sugar rush of cuteness.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 16, 2016
We expected better from the studio that gave us The Lego Movie.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 14, 2016
A popsicle-coloured, 3D cartoon with a pertinent, if somewhat hard to explain conceit.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 14, 2016
The visual ingenuity is breathtaking.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 13, 2016
Even storks must move with the times.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 13, 2016
Some wacky Tex Avery fun.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 13, 2016
Perhaps it's fitting that this story about babies has the attention span and grasp of logic of a newborn.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 13, 2016
After softening you up with whatever the comedic equivalent of a triple somersault with a half pike and double twist is, it lands on its emotional target - we're talking freely trickling tears - with a persuasive and satisfying thud.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 13, 2016
Storks is charming, if often nonsensical in its plot line and frenetic in its pacing.

Harmlessly enjoyable ...

The fact the new animated comedy Storks is anything other than absurd is hardly shocking; that it's as supremely entertaining, as messy and as nonsensical as it ultimately might be, certainly is.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 23, 2016
Most of the movie doubles down on the mania and lacing the sugar-rush sensation with an almost lysergic sense of silliness.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 23, 2016
Storks isn't terrible...it's just too generic for a marketplace that's often a site of genius.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 23, 2016
Good news, parents: Storks is bound to entertain you and your little ones. Bad news: Get ready to answer a lot more awkward questions about where babies come from.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 23, 2016
Moving too rapidly and with too many twists, Storks places a convoluted adventure in a world where anthropomorphic storks deliver packages instead of babies.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Sep 23, 2016
Stoller has made the most amusing film of his career with this subtextual look at how modern corporate culture penalizes anyone wanting to become a parent.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Sep 23, 2016
For good-enough family fun, "Storks" delivers.
| Original Score: B | Sep 23, 2016
It elicited applause from adults and kids alike at a recent screening. I guess I must be allergic.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 22, 2016
Directed by Nicholas Stoller and Pixar vet Doug Sweetland, Storks has lofty storytelling ambitions -- about staying true to yourself and the importance of family -- and it gets its message off the ground.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 22, 2016
The whole movie seems to be on fast-forward, with crushingly brainless dialogue, hollow imagery and no way of slowing down the febrile action or making sense of the chaotic plot.
