Every joke here hits its target, and while many of them will soar over the heads of youngsters, it will still send everyone home happy and satisfied. Read full review

Co-directors Nicholas Stoller and Doug Sweetland deliver big time with Storks, a fittingly buoyant, delightfully madcap animated romp. Read full review

Zippy and zany, cute and cuddly, Storks manages to balance wild humor with winning heart—for the most part. Read full review

Apart from one muted action sequence in which the participants try not to wake a sleeping bundle of joy (“Put that baby down,” one of them demands, and the order is obeyed, with a little tucking in), there’s scarce humor here for adults to relish. And Samberg’s characteristic snark has been sanded down to a nub. Read full review

Storks feels way too much like a belabored and mediocre SNL sketch. Each character has some neurotic tic or crazy fixation, which they expound upon in monologues that feel like material for a stand-up act or a sitcom. Read full review

Storks delivers its package, but it’s a bundle of just-okay, not joy. Read full review

Joe Morgenstern

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. Read full review

I saw this movie on the plane and went into it not expecting good or bad. I enjoyed it a lot more than I was expecting and enjoyed the humor.

There are a lot of simple jokes threaded into the plot that is suspect no child would ever pick up on. The animation was decent and the facial expressions and mannerisms of all the characters are really well done. For a movie clearly intended for children I can honestly recommend it for all if in the mood for a light hearted comedy.… Expand

Make a plan, stick to the plan, always deliver. That is what they always say, right?

Was better than I expected it to be. I was expecting to absolutely hate it but I ended up being slightly amused the entire time. I would rate it a 6 or 7, but since the score is so bad right now I'm giving it a 10 to balance it out.

I didn't expect much, but it was good! The story is fun and funny. The movie felt short, but it filled every moment. I liked how they added emotional moments also. Well worth it to watch.

I was actually kind of into this movie for a large part of it.

It’s not a very good movie by any stretch of the imagination, I daresay it’s more of a mediocre film than anything else, but I think that’s because I was expecting too much of it since it’s from the same studio that gave us the Lego movie. That being said, however, there’s genuine times that made me really, really laugh and if you have kids, I definitely recommend you take them to this one over Trolls any day of the week, seriously, this was alright, the only thing that is really vulnerable is that they don’t really do much role building and the story has a lot of narrative issues, but you get extra points for casting Kelsey Grammer, that man is hilarious.… Expand

The movie is loud, the plot is bland, the dialogue isn't great and the movie overall was just pretty average. The graphics and animation are fantastic though. Many things I hate about this film, but very little things I like.
