My Thoughts

The Boss Baby is a fun movie about very special siblings. Tim is an only child that is used to being spoiled by his family. Then his parents decide to have another baby. However, the baby they get is no ordinary drooling infant. He's a baby CEO--a special baby sent on a mission to make sure that puppies don't replace babies. He can talk and carries around a wad of money. When Tim learns the truth, the brothers strike a bargain. If they can stop Puppy Corp from making an eternal puppy, the baby will go back where he came from and Tim will have his parents to himself again. The only problem is, he's not sure he wants that anymore.

This is such a fun movie with an original story line. Plus, it helps to teach kids that it isn't that bad to get a new baby brother or sister in the family. Seeing the baby talk in Alec Baldwin's voice was hilarious and made the movie more enjoyable from an adult perspective. My whole family enjoyed watching this movie together. It's packed with humor and has a few touching moments as well. Everyone should have this great film in their library.
