[MOVIE] Storks (2016)

Or the movie that has the biggest loophole everyone who gives it a good rating overlooks.

Oh God, I kinda felt so stupid after watching it, no wonder it wasn't promoted or became popular, it really went right above our heads. At least in my case.

I've seen the moment with wolf pack building bridge and maybe that's the funniest part of the movie at all.

Most important backstory of this movie. Storks were delivering babies since ancient times, they got a cool technology for that because they have a whole baby farm. This lasted for centuries before one single incident when one of the storks saw the baby and refused to give it away and in the process of struggle the locator with the address breaks down.

And I have so many questions right away. With such a big farm and technology.. no backup?

Important information: 18 years later.

After 18 years, the orphan Tulip lives with storks on that mountain. Storks now just act as delivery. The one to be promoted, Junior, is asked to fire Tulip for her destructive innovations that caused damages. But Junior moves her to the old baby factory because of being unable to fire her.

On the other hand we have a family of three, with a boy named Nate and his always busy parents.

Seeing his parents never having time to accompany him and being envious of other children having siblings he proposes to have a baby brother. Why parents acted weird beats me. But one this is evident, storks themselves say - there are other ways to have a baby, meaning natural way. Otherwise storks would have never run out of baby business.

Finding an old brochure Nate writes a letter, that is delievered to Tulip, who accidentally put it into machine instead of dumping it with all other letters.

Quick note: I had no idea that there were so many old letters lying around and this will be crucial in the end.

But now there is a problem, Tulip and Junior produced a child and they have no other option except delivering it. And they set off this journey. Tbh, the cliche of everyone seeing the baby and being like 'awe~' is old.

Best thing is the wolf pack (and their assemble), they wan to leave the kid and raise it, but Tulip and Junior escape. Dumb humor throughout the entire movie btw.

They travel, but now they are also followed, on is the bird who wants to report that Junior broke the rule of "no babies", like it's something outrageous. And another is the stork responsible for the incident with Tulip.

Because of the first bird, the address is manipulated and the baby is stolen. This part made me go crazy, because - they can manipulate data of that locator, but don't have a second locator for Tulip omg.

So we're back to square one and the final showdown between the current boss of storks delivery and Junior + Tulip. They turned on the machine in baby factory and produced thousands of kids.

The boss is defeated. Everyone is like hurray.. why? beats me. We have a heartfelt monologue from Junior, that delivering babies was their duty and blah-blah-blah and storks are back to their old business, because where else do they keep the babies, so they deliver it. Hundreds of storks flock out and fly in different direction with the inspiring music in the background, everyone is in awe, they deliver babies, people are happy. Lot of PC.

BUT! Remember the important information? 18 years have passed. These people should have aged, or got pregnant without storks, why everyone thinks a sudden baby is a blessing and everyone is happy? Let's toy with this idea. What about divorced parents, what if they already have children, what about their financial situation? A baby isn't just a tamagochi for you to keep an eye on. They made it look like babies were delievered to families that were waiting, but they all look young still, ok? :) This is the biggest loophole of entire movie. 18 years later, those letter kept being collected and unanswered, the whole bunch of babies are late for 18 years. And don't tell me some letters might be fresh, this does not erase the loophole.

Even if Tulip returns to her home, of course she is welcomed (how those people recognized her, signature red curly hair?), the scene is followed by the beloved American hugs. With no question or no logic, everyone is like - ah~ hugs~ welcome home. Even kids. No one asked - who is that?

But of course it has the happy ending of, Tulip has her family, all the babies found their home and storks are back into baby business.

If it wasn't for wolves, everything else is so plain and lacks thought and soul.
