The Boss Baby Reviews
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]
| Original Score: 7/10 | Aug 28, 2023
It becomes less interesting as it grows more convoluted.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 1, 2021
A pleasant diversion for big and small but the story and its lessons feel like things we've seen done before and done better.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 28, 2021
It got me to chuckle a few times, director McGrath keeps things moving at a lively pace, and as far as family-friendly entertainment, it does the trick.

The film's strength is Baldwin, who kills it in this movie and his comedic timing clearly shines through.

It's a fun one for the family, with jokes for adults, too.
| Sep 6, 2019
It will keep younger viewers occupied with its colourful animation and silly fun for 90 odd minutes while giving their parents the occasional chuckle on its way to its predictable conclusion.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 22, 2019
This isn't a great movie, but it's a decent one. It's thin and clichéd, but it's sweet and fun.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 12, 2019
I can see The Boss Baby working as an animated short, similar to the opening of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, but there just isn't enough meat on the bones for a feature film.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 6, 2019
The Boss Baby is the loaded diaper of animated comedies
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Nov 25, 2018
Like my parenting methods, this is several great ideas that collapse into a bit of a mess when put into practice. Still, it's a useful watch for older siblings who may well identify with 7 year old Tim, feeling pushed out when his baby brother arrives.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Nov 20, 2018
If you enjoy Baldwin's schtick, then Boss Baby should work for you regardless of your age. If not, well at least your children will have a good time.
| Original Score: B- | Nov 3, 2018
One has to really scrabble through the disparate parts to find most of the value, while the kids (as always) will really love the usual tricks.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 29, 2018
Forgettable toddler fodder film from a once creative animated studio that didn't only appeal to younger viewers.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 30, 2018
I have a little brother in real life, so this film should have grabbed my heartstrings and given them a good wring. But it didn't.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 24, 2018
It's certainly good for a giggle. There's absolutely nothing wrong with a little juvenile humor every now and then.
| Aug 21, 2018
Has the best "where babies come from" gag in a while, too.
| Jun 20, 2018
It wastes its very clever concept by reducing it into just a running gag instead of being a subtle commentary on current events or even contemporary corporate society, but that is probably too much to expect out of children's entertainment.

Gorgeously animated in typically pin-sharp DreamWorks style, Tom McGrath keeps the laughs coming, with jokes that should appeal across the age range. Also contains puppies.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 23, 2018
The Boss Baby began with a lot of promise, like most babies. As usual, though, time passed and the baby got annoying.
