I liked the start of Boss Baby, delving into a kid's imagination has potential. Unfortunately when the actual Boss Baby gets introduced the film becomes to mixed up with side plots and loses steam. C

Unfortunately, it's clearAs someone that's seen a good portion of the DreamWorks CGI films, this was one that I was, at the very least, interested in. The mere concept of Alec Baldwin playing a talking baby had my attention for a minute. Unfortunately, it's clear after seeing the film that the concept alone isn't enough to sell this film. "The Boss Baby" often reminds me of why I love animated films, because the actual animation itself is gorgeous and extremely inventive. The film is so cleverly-designed and so beautiful to look at that it reminds me of why I love the medium. Unfortunately, the film also reminds me that breathtaking visuals are nothing without good writing, and they won't do enough to distract from a cliché-riddled plot, unlikeable characters and an extremely lack of funny jokes. It's a shame that all of the cleverness about the film was in relation to the animation, and not the writing. If you're a hardcore DreamWorks fan that has very young children, I would hesitantly say maybe give this a shot, but for anyone else, just skip it. It's definitely one of the weakest in the DreamWorks chronology.… Expand

I would make for sure my kids watching this animation. For kids I think it would be great - funny, exiting and instructive. Shows how important it is having family full of love and care.

Shows how important it is having family full of love and care. For me The Boss Baby was fun. For the first time I see this thematic in a movie- 'people choosing dogs, instead of people', that was surprising, made me think about how current and sensitive this topic nowadays is. Somehow characters were unlikable. Also I didn't like the background sounds and overall music. And I appreciate and love Hans Zimmer's work. What also disappointed me was the graphical view of the animation - both main characters looked too 'modern', too 'nowadays', I can't really describe it. The animation though deserves a watch, especially with your kid.… Expand

DreamWorks Animation continues to prove that even if they keep on trying, their animated movies will never reach the pinnacle of Pixar's throne. I think DreamWorks Animation here focuses on too much comedy rather than story. It's why filmsDreamWorks Animation continues to prove that even if they keep on trying, their animated movies will never reach the pinnacle of Pixar's throne. I think DreamWorks Animation here focuses on too much comedy rather than story. It's why films like this Boss Baby fails to surprise the average moviegoer who focuses on story. Not even the comedy here is worth laughing at. Take a chuckle or two if you must but just remember this; DreamWorks Animation, even if Shrek and How to Train Your Dragon prove to be king-tier for the studio's film history, will never ever be as surprising as Pixar.

The concept maybe interesting but what matters is the execution, and damn how they fail in so many aspect.

The film's plot is confusing that children can just ignore while the adults can be like "what?". The film can have clever jokes but mostly they try so hard to land the jokes.

Well animated yet poorly conceived, The Boss Baby wastes its incredible voice talents on a story that settles for nothing more than childish humor and bathroom jokes.

Don't be so negative, people! It's not about the amount of cliches! It's the comedy and the fun it delivered. I don't think it's something too special, but i think kids will love it and adults may enjoy it.

The movie did have a unoriginal plot that is straight out of toy story. It was a bit redeeming with the imaginary sections, they were filled with pretty solid animation.

His adversary is the imaginative 7-year, who’s happy days are disrupted by this domineering infant brother (voiced by Miles Christopher Bakshi, son of director Ralph). Although it’s not especially funny, there are amusing moments and some enjoyable supporting characters. There is a romping pace and a colorful, creative design. It’s a bit more inventive than some current animated films, but not fresh enough to become a classic.… Expand

Let me start off by saying that, yes, this movie is still as occasionally inane, obnoxious, and nonsensical as you think it may be. However, there's also just something undeniably endearing about the thematics in play here. Something about the film's musings on brotherhood, family, and friendship that struck a righteous and unexpectedly mature chord with me. That, plus Alec Baldwin's highly entertaining turn as the film's titular character honestly made everything that much more watchable in the end.… Expand

The boss baby has some funny jokes, some speacially for children, others for adults and a great message. But, if you are an adult, this movie will be hard to watch, but for children this movie will be a blast.

Boss Baby is a ok movie. i kinda like the comedy it gives us to this flim. But what lack about it, is it's plot. it feels like a 7-year old write the story. The actors in this film did a good job, but it can not help this film.

Normalita.

Ni fu, ni fa. No es mala, pero tampoco es buena.

No le veo sentido a que saquen una segunda película. Normalita.

this movie was just amazing with funny humour references to Lord of the Rings through a wizard clock (Amazing) with an interesting and humorous story plot and a happy and also heart warming ending that ends the movie on quite the cliffhanger making it seem like there will be a second movie coming at some point... Only time will tell.

Good animation but seriously unfunny. Writers really phoned it in. Mediocre.
