A couple weeks ago my family attended a screening of STORKS. My boys had seen the hilarious trailers several times on TV and had simply begged to go!
In this amusing new movie, Storks no longer deliver babies because of an unfortunate mix up of a baby not being delivered many years ago. The storks now ship packages for Amazon-like company. An ambitious stork Junior (Andy Samberg) is being groomed to succeed the CEO, Hunter (Kelsey Grammer). To prove that he’s got what it takes, he is asked to fire Tulip (Katie Crown), who is a human teen left behind when storks stopped delivering babies. When Tulip accidentally starts up the abandoned babymaking factory, she and Junior decide to deliver the baby to it’s rightful family.
One of my favorite parts of the movie were the scenes with the wolf pack. The pack really stole the show with their gimmicks and funny one liners. In fact, I would have liked to see them in the movie even more! Another scene stealer is the baby! With adorable big eyes and cute little coos, it almost made me want to add to our family again….ALMOST!
Want to take the family to see a great movie this weekend? Storks is it!

Storks deliver babies…or at least they used to. Now they deliver packages for global internet giant Cornerstore. Junior, the company’s top delivery stork, is about to be promoted when he accidentally activates the Baby Making Machine, producing an adorable and wholly unauthorized baby girl. Desperate to deliver this bundle of trouble before the boss gets wise, Junior and his friend Tulip, the only human on Stork Mountain, race to make their first-ever baby drop – in a wild and revealing journey that could make more than one family whole and restore the storks’ true mission in the world.
