Review of The Boss Baby (2017) by Trevor P — 30 Mar 2017

DreamWorks' newest feature The Boss Baby, based on the children's book by Marla Frazee, explores those concepts for all of twenty minutes, then fills in the remaining run time with the usual tasteless humor and adult references expected by the studio made famous by Shrek. While the supporting cast gives somewhat decent voice performances, nothing else of memorable interest defines their characters. The whole focus lands on the one big star on the poster.

After recent critical praise on SNL, Alec Baldwin (30 Rock, The Cooler) now makes his second portrayal of our current blonde, small-handed president in a form for the kiddos. He tells his whole story to us, where he came from, how he got here, and why. You see, a corporation exists out in the heavens called "Baby Corp," a business composed of babies. No reason going into where they came from, or the intent of their mission statement, you're not supposed to think too hard about it. Why? Because make-believe, duh!
