I enjoyed Storks, and I know it’s not a perfect film. But I found it to be smarter than I expected. The kids in the audience liked it and as someone who is around little ones often, sometimes, that’s the only thing that counts.Storks, BradLewis, Doug Sweetland, Kate Crown, Andy Samberg, Kelsey Grammer, Stephen Kramer Glickman, Nicholas Stoller

The synopsis: Storks deliver babies—or at least they used to. Now, they deliver packages for a global Internet retail giant. Junior (Andy Samberg), the company’s top delivery stork, lands in hot water when the Baby Factory produces an adorable but wholly unauthorized girl. Desperate to deliver this bundle of trouble, Junior and his friend Tulip (Katie Crown), the only human on Stork Mountain, race against time to make their first baby drop before the boss (Kelsey Grammer) finds out. And Stephen Kramer Glickman as Pigeon Toady.

The film is co-directed by Nicholas Stoller (writer) and Doug Sweetland, and produced by Brad Lewis. — A.O.
