The arguments between the two drag on forever for no particular reason, and Boss Baby to a certain point felt too distant of a character. Tim and Boss Baby go on a wild ride to track down the CEO of Puppy Co. When it comes down to it, “The Boss Baby” is downright too predictable. The visuals were great, the jokes were relatively funny and the voice acting was solid, so why was I struggling? I’ll be honest - I tried really hard to enjoy the movie, but I couldn’t get into it. “The Boss Baby” is centered heavily around the dynamic between siblings, so maybe it’s because I’m an only child, but I didn’t understand or come to fully appreciate the rapport between Tim and Boss Baby. A lot of gags and throwaway jokes are included to fill up these complex chase scenes which, while small feats of animation wonder, didn’t do much to interest me.

ALL BOSS BABY MOVIE MOVIE
Most of the movie is spent with Tim and Boss Baby as they bicker and bicker … and bicker. Now’s the point where I’d say, “Spoiler ahead!” but unfortunately there really isn’t much to spoil - because while the premise is there, the content is not. At first it seems like a cute premise, and even the idea of Alec Baldwin as a baby is honestly funny. before adorable puppies take over the balance of love between babies and puppies. Boss Baby’s mission: take down rival company Puppy Co. March brings us a seemingly promising yet ultimately disappointing new animated flick - “The Boss Baby.” The film stars Alec Baldwin as the titular character and follows seven-year-old Tim Templeton as he navigates his life upon the arrival of his new baby brother, who just happens to be a baby who’s actually a boss - a literal boss from the company Baby Corp. What better way to celebrate the end of awards season than a movie about talking babies in suits? And parents who loved Alec Baldwin in 30 Rock will surely laugh (Boss Baby is basically a mini Jack Donaghy).Alec Baldwin voices the eponymous Boss Baby (Courtesy of DreamWorks Animation). But there are clear messages about the value of teamwork and the fact that there is enough love for everyone in a family. as will the movie's take on where babies come from. The way the movie treats puppies - like a factory-produced product - may bother some viewers, and the fact that the boys travel to Las Vegas on their own may need some explaining. Not surprisingly for a film about babies, there's also plenty of body/potty humor, including an explosive fake-barf sequence, bare baby bottoms, and use of words like "fart," "poop," and "doody." Other language includes some insults, and there's a scene in which it's implied that Tim tried a Long Island Ice Tea and didn't like it (champagne is also served in first class). There are also potentially scary scenes imagined by 7-year-old Tim (attacking animals, creepy hallways, looming figures) and a sequence in which two kids investigate a mysterious dark room and subsequently get captured. Expect chases, nick-of-time escapes, and plenty of slapstick confrontations between babies and children/adults. It addresses issues related to sibling rivalry (particularly an older child's fears that there will be less love after a new baby arrives) and has a fair bit of peril, though much of it is played for laughs.

Parents need to know that The Boss Baby is an animated comedy inspired by Marla Frazee's popular picture book.
