There is some physical comedy, a lot of toilet humour and (thankfully uncensored) baby bottoms. The writing is mostly fresh, sometimes infused with dry wit and will tickle you. But whether it is real or not is left to the viewer. The whole movie could very well be an active fantasy of his. All of this is prefaced by the fact that our protagonist Tim has a very vivid imagination. Most of them are assigned to a family, and some who aren’t cute enough are sent to work at this factory’s headquarters. The film opens with a hilarious montage that shows where babies come from: a baby-manufacturing factory with assembly lines and everything. Puppies, baby’s research shows, are taking over the world with their cuteness and making babies obsolete. Tim (voiced by Miles Bakshi) watches in shock as his evil baby brother (voiced by Alec Baldwin) fools his parents (voiced by Jimmy Kimmel and Lisa Kudrow) into believing that he’s the adorable new addition to the family, while slyly planning a coup against the pet company that they work for. Add to that a baby who is a cunning corporate official, talks in pie-charts and is working relentlessly towards ridding the world of… puppies. Emotions with their own emotions? Worthy of an Oscar. In the realm of animation, nothing is too unreal: talking cars? Sure. The Boss Baby will test your threshold for quirky stories. Review: Must animated movies border on the bizarre? Story: Tim gets a new baby brother who wears a suit, secretly talks over the phone and draws up evil plans in the dead of the night.
