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.

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?
