A new baby's arrival impacts a family, told from the point of view of a delightfully unreliable narrator -- a wildly imaginative 7-year-old named Tim. The most unusual Boss Baby (Alec Baldwin) arrives at Tim's home in a taxi, wearing a suit and carrying a briefcase. The instant sibling rivalry must soon be put aside when Tim discovers that Boss Baby is actually a spy on a secret mission, and only he can help thwart a dastardly plot that involves an epic battle between puppies and babies.

Critics Consensus

The Boss Baby's talented cast, glimmers of wit, and flashes of visual inventiveness can't make up for a thin premise and a disappointing willingness to settle for doody jokes.

Mr.Moon

So can the baby talk? or is this like any dog movie or Toy Story? if its like that then just watch Cats Vs Dogs or Toy Story. Toy Story has a better cast. and CVD has Mr.Tinkles AKA the best thing to come out from that movie.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

A funny premise and Alec Baldwin aren't enough to save this wet blanket of a kids' movie.

Roxana Hadadi

Chesapeake Family Magazine

The smartly written The Boss Baby lightly takes on commercialism while delivering a variety of witty gags that sound charmingly smug coming from Alec Baldwin's mouth.

Rated: 3.5/5

The jokes are decidedly one-note, but still, I admit: I laughed.

A story that respects the genre and uses animation as a guise, but it might as well have been an action movie... [Full review in Spanish]

A pleasant diversion for big and small but the story and its lessons feel like things we've seen done before and done better.
