Storks (2016) Movie Review

Image result for storks


I'm literally watching Storks as I bust out this review. The first word that comes to mind: hilarious. Even now, I'm having to stop every few seconds or so to laugh at parts I had forgotten from the first watch. At just under ninety minutes, it doesn't believe in wasting time. It gives you the funny early and often. 

Lead stork Junior (Andy Samberg)is about as comical of a lead as you can get. He's one of the best storks in the business, yet it isn't his skill that keeps viewers entertained. It's his awkward lack of confidence that leads to some pretty memorable and ridiculous moments. His character is just one of many that make the film a fun family treat.

Not only is it surprisingly funny (serioulsy this elevator scene has me cracking up!), prepare to have your sensitive bone touched as well. It's touching but not in an overly gushy way. Just enough to make you say, "Awwww." Ok, so maybe my eyes glistened a little bit. So what?

Storks is consistently good throughout, kind of like a really delicious sandwich. It's one of those movies where you decided to give it a shot because you have nothing better to do and half an hour in, you ask yourself, "How are more people not talking about this movie?" It's a fun adventure about a stork trying to secretly deliver a baby to a new family.

I just reached the first encounter with the wolves. Classic. You will laugh. And who knows, maybe your eyes glisten a little. Either way, Storks doesn't disappoint. I give it an 89.
