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.
