Tim(Miles Christopher Bakshi) almost perfect family life is turned upside down with the arrival of a new baby brother, only to discover that he is no ordinary baby, he talks and thinks like a grown man(Alec Baldwin) and is on a mission, Tim realizes that they must work together has a team in order to get both there lives back.

Best animation I've seen in a while, it takes on a life of it's own. The film never truly tugs too your heart stream to a point. The plot does not make too much sense, but that was the enjoyment of it. Alec Baldwin owned the role has The Boss Baby, his voice made the character. All the other actors do there voices quite well.

Dreamworks' The Boss Baby, is an extraordinary, fun and lighthearted animated film based on an award-winning picture book by Marla Frazee.

7-year-old Tim (Miles Christopher Bakshi) had the perfect life and the full attention of his parents until one day, a new arrival took it all away and became the Boss of his family. Tim and Boss Baby face sibling rivalry, trying to both win the affection of their parents. Much to Tim's surprise, the two bond when they join forces to uncover the evil plot of the CEO of Puppy Co. And in the midst of it all, Tim and his new brother Boss Baby (Alec Baldwin) learn the true meaning of the love of family.

The Boss Baby is fabulously directed by Tom McGrath, who you might recognize from his work on all three Madagascar movies and Megamind. He says that the movie is partially an apology letter to his own brother for all the grief he put him in when they were young.

My favorite character is Boss Baby. Alec Baldwin voices this character with great panache. His witty personality mixed with a take-charge attitude bursts through the screen. I feel that Baldwin's voice talent in this is one of the key reasons this movie shines.

My favorite scene is when Tim and Boss Baby work together to sneak into Puppy Co. and attempt to steal the secret file. Watching a working large scale replica of one of my favorite games when I was young (Mouse Trap) was particularly fun. Also, there are many toys from the 70s and 80s included which I enjoyed. Several times I found myself times trying to find them in the scene. There are so many magical moments throughout. As an only child, it's funny that there are times the movie made me want to have a brother and, other times, I'm happy to be an only child.

The Boss Baby is an enjoyable film safe to keep you and your family thoroughly entertained. Director Tom McGrath states "I want this movie to draw you in and make you move to the edge of your seat, not pull away from the screen" and I believe he achieved that goal. It is rated PG for mild humor and I recommend it for ages 6 to 14, although the whole family will enjoy it. I give this film 4.5 out of 5 stars. It opens in theaters nationwide on March 31, 2017 so, go check it out.

Was not expecting much at all from 'The Boss Baby'. The trailers were absolutely dreadful, some of the worst for any film released this year, giving the impression that 'The Boss Baby' would be one of the year's worst films.

Still saw 'The Boss Baby' with an open mind and with a willingness to give it a fair chance. Especially considering that there has been a fair share of films seen by me that have awful, misleading advertising but actually turned out to be good to outstanding films (like 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame', 'Galaxy Quest' and 'Lilo and Stitch', that gave the complete opposite impressions of the films they turned out to be). After seeing it, 'The Boss Baby' is not a great film and its quality is inconsistent, but it was much better than expected and was nowhere near the awful film the advertising made it look.

DreamWorks have certainly done far better, 'How to Train Your Dragon' is outstanding, 2010's best animated film (just edging out 'Tangled') and one of the year's best, and 'The Prince of Egypt' is one of my favourite films. 'The Boss Baby' is towards their weaker end of their animations along with 'Bee Movie' and especially 'Home'. There are still a lot of great merits.

First and foremost, the animation is extremely good. Meticulous in detail and vibrantly colourful, and the characters are modelled appealingly. The soundtrack is infectious and catchy, with the choices in music fitting well. Some of the jokes are very funny and witty, with sly and clever references to some of Alec Baldwin's other roles and a surprising gag based on David Mamet, that is daring for an animated film.

Underneath all the wit, 'The Boss Baby' also has a heart with a few touching moments and important lessons on love and family. This angle doesn't come completely successfully certainly but the good intentions are there and it is not as if it didn't try. Mostly the film moves along with a lot of energy. There are a few entertaining characters along the way, with the titular character recalling fond memories of Alec Baldwin's character in '30 Rock'. The voice acting is terrific, especially a dynamite turn from Baldwin.

'The Boss Baby' on the other hand is not without its faults. The story is formulaic, with a thin premise stretched thin and is let down by a very messy utter chaos of a first act. Not all the jokes hit the mark, hurt by predictability, a tendency to veer towards doodiness in alternative to wit and a lack of maturity, while the family values angle doesn't come off entirely successfully, some of it being mawkish and preachy.

Not all the characters work either, some of them are very sketchily written and developed. This is especially with Steve Buscemi's villainous character. Buscemi excels at villains and does his very best in a role that should have been tailor made for him, but lacks the material to properly sink his teeth into it.

In conclusion, uneven but nowhere close to being as bad as the advertising and some of the critical reaction made it look. 6/10 Bethany Cox
