Two things struck me about this film as awful. First, for such a huge budget film, did they really have to play the same music over and over and over and over and over again? Wasn't there funding to find someone with a sense of artistry to select better music or at least a wider variety of sounds? Second, the writing was awful and the dialog was idiotic. Wasn't the least bit interested in either of the two lead characters. I would have left before it ended, but we paid full price and I am an optimist: I kept expecting it to get better. It didn't. On the plus side, the sets and wardrobe were nice.

Storks is one of my all-time top 10 favorite movies ever. The story line is compelling, the humor is belly-laugh outrageous, and the creativity is superb. What's disappointing is that it isn't more popular, because when I saw it, I was sure "wolf pack, form (insert random noun here)" would become part of our cultural vernacular. The pigeon scene (how do you like me now?!) was snort-milk-out-your-nose funny. The brilliance of the writing is that instead of relying on tired, over-used 'bad guy' scenes to move plot ahead, even the what-you-think-will-turn-into-scary-scenes have a way of turning on a dime and becoming screamingly funny.
