The movie is sure to give families with siblings a way to talk about the challenges of being an older brother or sister - with the nice reassurance that there's always enough love to go around. Tim's Gandalf-like talking-wizard alarm clock, "Wizzie," is funny, as is a sequence in which Boss Baby tries to encourage Tim to ride his bike by rattling off lines from motivational posters. His character in The Boss Baby is pretty much a miniature Jack Donaghy Boss Baby throws money at problems, dismisses someone as a "hippie," and, when asked to deliver a cutting insult, comes up with "you went to community college!" (There's also an in-joke reference to Baldwin's cutthroat-businessman role in Glengarry Glen Ross that may make some parents smile.) And the script in general is pretty witty, with clever lines and unexpected twists. Show moreĬonsidering that it's based on a cute but pretty story-lite picture book, this animated comedy exceeds expectations - especially if you're a fan of Baldwin's work on 30 Rock. But he'll need Tim's help to carry out his mission, and Tim isn't exactly motivated by profits and promotions. has planned - and stop it - the corner office will be his. It seems that more people are adopting puppies than having babies, and that has Bab圜orp nervous. It turns out that Boss Baby is on a special assignment from Bab圜orp HQ to do a little corporate espionage related to Tim's parents' place of employment: Puppy Co. Tim's parents don't seem to notice anything unusual going on (they're too shell-shocked and sleep-deprived to notice much of anything), but Tim quickly realizes that this is no ordinary infant. He has no interest in a sibling, but that doesn't stop the arrival of THE BOSS BABY ( Alec Baldwin), a suit-wearing, briefcase-toting mini-manager who arrives on the scene and proceeds to turn Tim's household upside down. Seven-year-old Tim (voiced by Miles Christopher Bakshi) loves the life he has with his parents ( Lisa Kudrow and Jimmy Kimmel): They laugh and play together all the time, and there's always time for Tim's special bedtime routine - stories, songs, and all. And parents who loved Alec Baldwin in 30 Rock will surely laugh (Boss Baby is basically a mini Jack Donaghy). 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. Edwin Armstrong, it will reunite the Templeton brothers in unexpected ways, lead them to re-evaluate the meaning of family and discover what truly matters.Parents need to know that The Boss Baby is an animated comedy inspired by Marla Frazee's popular picture book.
