Tim discovers that his brother isn’t just a baby, but actually a cutthroat business elite from “Babycorp.” He’s been sent down by his bosses in Heaven to accomplish a mission for them and, as a reward, be promoted to his own corner office. Tim quickly begins to wonder if his parents are falling out of love with him, as they spend more and more time “raising” their new arrival, and seemingly forgetting all about Tim and his beloved nightly routines. From there, Tim’s life is quickly thrown into disarray by the arrival of his new brother, The Boss Baby (Baldwin), who shows up via taxi on his suburban street and wears a mini business suit every day and night. I’m enough,” and goes to bed seemingly unaware that his Mom is pregnant, even despite the obvious belly she’s sporting. So when they ask Tim one night before bed if he’d want a baby brother he replies, “No, thanks.
To Tim, this is the definition of a perfect life just him and his parents. Then every night his parents read him three bedtime stories, sing him their rendition of “Blackbird,” and tuck him in for bed. We’re quickly taken through a tour of Tim’s daily life in the opening of the film, which mostly involves him using his overactive imagination to imagine a bath as an underwater adventure into the literal belly of a beast, or a backyard barbeque as a showdown against some hungry apes.
But if the film’s promotional materials and trailers had made it seem like The Boss Baby may merely just be riding on the short-lived amusement of that one gag, then you probably won’t be surprised to know that it’s exactly that.ĭirected by Tom McGrath (Madagascar) and based loosely on the children’s book of the same name by Marla Frazee, The Boss Baby tells the story of Tim (voiced by Miles Christopher Bakshi), an imaginative seven-year-old boy living with just his Mom and Dad (voiced by Lisa Kudrow and Jimmy Kimmel) when we first meet him. Fortunately, said baby happens to be voiced by Alec Baldwin, in an admittedly funny, spot on bit of casting. At this point, you’ve probably heard about Dreamworks Animation’s latest comedy, The Boss Baby, which, as its title entails, focuses on a seemingly innocent newborn who’s secretly a business savvy worker in a corporation in Heaven.
