Instead he’s a manager from Bab圜orp (that’s a heavenly place where babies come from) sent to investigate the dropping popularity of having children and stop the rising trend of raising puppies instead. Although he can’t convince Mom and Dad that there is a serious problem, he does eventually force a confession out of his younger sibling.Īs Tim suspected, Boss Baby is not a normal kid. While his parents accept as normal the suit-wearing, briefcase-carrying stranger, the big brother has his eye on junior’s other suspicious behaviors, like holding meetings with neighborhood children, protecting his infant formula and talking on the phone. The situation is even worse than the adults realize – yet only Tim seems to know this. Demanding all his parents’ energy and love, the Templetons no longer have time for Tim or bedtime routines.
In short order the tiny tot becomes the boss of the whole house. However, that perfect life is shattered with the arrival of a little brother (voiced by Alec Baldwin). Not only do his Mom and Dad (voices of Lisa Kudrow and Jimmy Kimmel) engage in his imaginative play, but they also read him three stories, give him five hugs and sing him one song each night.
Psst: Hey grown-ups, no need to tell the kids that just let them squirm while you enjoy the adult flourishes.Tim Templeton (voice of Miles Bakshi) is a seven-year-old blessed with a wonderful family. The film, directed by Tom McGrath ( “Megamind,” the “Madagascar” movies), is also full of homages and such that no young child is going to get. The contrast between the helpless-infant stage of life and corporate-speak is funny but fairly high-concept for a kiddie movie, and the plot grows denser as it goes along and the baby and Tim reluctantly join forces to stop a conspiracy by which puppies would corner all the love in the world. Tim has a vivid imagination, and in his eyes the baby arrives wearing a business suit, bosses his parents around and has dubious intentions. The story, based on a picture book by Marla Frazee, is told from the viewpoint of Tim (Miles Bakshi or, when he’s in narrator mode, Tobey Maguire), a 7-year-old only child who is not happy when his parents (Lisa Kudrow and Jimmy Kimmel) tell him a brother is on the way. That’s because the title character is voiced by Alec Baldwin, and all of his various past personas, especially the one from “30 Rock,” somehow make hearing his distinctive voice coming from a cartoon infant all that much funnier. They’ll follow the plot for most of the way they just might be puzzled by their accompanying parent’s reactions. It’s a movie whose story is aimed at the siblings of newborns - the 8-and-under crowd, more or less. The animated feature “The Boss Baby” has some hilarious moments.
