But his 7-year-old brother, Tim (Miles Bakshi), quickly senses that the kid is not all right - and not merely because of the jealousy any firstborn can feel upon becoming a sibling. To his besotted parents, a pair of pet-company executives (Lisa Kudrow and Jimmy Kimmel), he is an eating, crying, giggling, napping, self-soiling bundle of joy, miraculously delivered to their doorstep in accordance with family-friendly MPAA guidelines.
They do not wear black business suits, carry briefcases, chug espressos and plot hostile corporate strategies.īut the Boss Baby, voiced with sneaky, fast-talking elan by Alec Baldwin, does all these things and more. Babies, as everyone knows, tend to eat, cry, giggle, nap and soil themselves.
There is so much quality entertainment right now for kids that don’t waste your time with this terrible film (except for Tabitha.The high-concept premise of “The Boss Baby,” a borderline-cute, suffocatingly creepy kiddie fantasy from DreamWorks Animation, continually violates what were once inviolable laws of the universe. Watching The Boss Baby: Family Business was one of those moments where I think to myself ‘what am I doing with my life watching this?”. I really can’t say but it is at best lukewarm versions of old jokes. If you liked the first one maybe you’ll enjoy this more than I did. I can laugh at puerile humor when done well but this was so bland and didn’t get a chuckle out of me. You know for kids…Īnd there are so many jokes only adults will understand like references to Shawshank Redemption and other R rated films into the script.
#WHAT IS THE FIRST BOSS BABY MOVIE MOVIE#
For example, there’s a scene in this movie that has the 2 adult babies fighting and pulling each other’s nipples while ‘Time Warp’ from The Rocky Horror Picture Show accompanies them. It’s for the most part crass, unappealing and lazy. I hate the story with the brothers fighting and then being turned back into babies. I hate the design of the characters especially the adults with the bulbous heads and giant eyes. Evidently it appeals to others but not me. To say I dislike this baby world and story would be an understatement. The animation is also well done with some nice uses of 2D in dream sequences and the score by Hans Zimmer works well for the story.Īnd then there is all the baby nonsense with Ted (Alec Baldwin) and Tim (James Marsden replacing Tobey Maguire) all grown up getting turned back into babies to help the new boss Baby Tina (Amy Sedaris) defeat Jeff Goldblum baby from taking over the world. It is unquestionably the highlight of the film. I especially liked a musical dance sequence to Cat Stevens ‘If You Want to Sing Out’. Those scenes were good and her character was compelling. First, I wish the movie had abandoned the baby nonsense and been about young Tabitha trying to fit in at the gifted and talented school. Let me calm down so we can talk about the positives of The Boss Baby: Family Business…there are a few. I didn’t understand the appeal of the first The Boss Baby film but now a sequel so obviously devoid of ideas it makes me both irritated and upset.īut hold on.
