The Boss Baby Review

The Boss Baby is an 3D computer-animated comedy film that is loosely based on the 2010 children's book of the same name written and illustrated by Marla Frazee. It's produced by DreamWorks Animation and the film is directed by Tom McGrath and written by Michael McCullers.

The story is a suit-wearing baby named The Boss Baby(Alec Baldwin) is adopted by the Templeton family everything seems normal but really he's undercover in a war between babies and puppies. So he teams up with his older Tim(Miles Christopher Bakshi) to help him out in this war.

• Negatives

My only real complaint is it's very difficult to figure out if Tim's imagining this entire story because there are scenes where something happens but then there's another scene that says otherwise.

• Mix

One thing that this movie is in a grey area is the humor. Sometimes jokes work other times not so much. Now I'm not saying some jokes down right suck what I'm saying is some jokes where meant for kids others were meant for adults. So when there's a joke that's meant for a kid an adult isn't going to laugh and when a joke is meant for an adult the kids are probably going to be confused.

• Positives

There is an aspect to this movie that I really liked and that was Tim's fear that he wasn't going to be loved anymore because of the arrival of a baby sibling. I think anybody who has been in that situation can relate.

Alec Baldwin does an excellent job playing The Boss Baby. Another actor who deserves credit is Miles Christopher Baskshi he did a great job playing the older brother Tim.

My finally praise to this movie is it's animation. DreamWorks continues to show that they do great 3D animation. They also do a great job at making Tim's imagination sequence different compared to everything else by giving it an old school 60's or 70's look.

The Boss Baby has gorgeous animation, great performances mainly from the two main stars, and that feeling that you think your parents might not love because of a new sibling but that won't be the case. The humor isn't bad it's just some jokes are meant for kids and others are for adults. The only real bad thing is some scenes make you question other scenes.

My final rating for this movie is Okay.
