Alec Baldwin returns as Ted Templeton while James Marsden voices his brother Tim Templeton. Even my oldest (5-year-old) was looking at me concerned during some parts of the movie.īut the biggest thing The Boss Baby: Family Business has going for it, other than the laughs, is its message. (On the flip side old kids and adults will find it very entertaining.) So, while my kids really enjoyed the first movie my youngest (3-year-old) had a really hard time watching this one. (So many babies! I love it.) The only downside for the movie is that it can be too out there and creepy for young kids. There are ninja babies, babies that love glue, one really creepy baby, and SO MUCH MORE. Haha! The movie is hilarious but will leave you sometimes wondering “what the heck is going on?”. But overall, it is a pretty decent sequel to the first Boss Baby movie. His big brother Tim (James Marsden) is now a stay-at-home dad with two daughters – and the single flicker of human interest here is Tim’s heartbreak at his preteen Tabitha (Ariana Greenblatt) growing apart from him.My The Boss Baby: Family Business Movie Review He’s got no time for family – “I can’t do Christmas on the 25th” he says, one of a handful of decent lines snuck in for adults.
The Boss Baby 2 is set a few decades later: little Ted (Baldwin), the double-espresso-drinking boss baby, is all grown up into a hedge fund CEO. The novelty in the first film of seeing a baby in a business suit with tiny Trump hands, sucking a dummy and voiced by Alec Baldwin, has well and truly worn off. The frantic pace will leave grownups feeling as if they’ve been battered over the head with a brick, or at the very least reaching for the Anadin Extra.
It is a noisy and nonsensical film, with a pointlessly convoluted plot that sailed over the head of the four-year-old I watched it with. W hen Martin Amis was asked if he’d ever consider writing for children, he reportedly answered: “I might, if I had brain damage.” His sniffiness completely disregards the genius it takes to see the world through a kid’s eyes – not something this Boss Baby sequel pulls off with any flair.
