He’s joined Tim’s family temporarily because he’s on a mission that came straight from corporate - to save the baby market from extinction. He’s actually Boss Baby ( Alec Baldwin), a middle management up-and-comer with aspirations to rise to the top of Baby Co. Much to Tim’s chagrin, no one else seems to think there’s something weird going on.Īnd things get even weirder when the baby starts telling Tim why he’s arrived. The baby arrives by taxi he wears a suit and shades, carries a briefcase, and has soon commandeered Mom and Dad’s attention. Tim’s parents ( Jimmy Kimmel and Lisa Kudrow) both work hard at Puppy Co., but in the evenings they read stories and sing songs to Tim before bed. The family lives in a nice house with a backyard, and they frequently go on “adventures” that are magnified in Tim’s imagination: baths become deep-sea dives, and everyday bike rides are death-defying feats. Meanwhile, down on terra firma, Tim (voiced as a kid by Miles Bakshi and as an adult by Tobey Maguire) has lived a perfect, blissful life as the apple of his parents’ eye for seven years. The company’s quality controls dictate that babies who don’t seem to have the cooing temperament that people expect from their infants are funneled into middle management at Baby Co., where they languish in desk farms and drink formula that keeps them babies forever. In its very first sequence, The Boss Baby swiftly builds a whole mythology around where babies come from - a company in the sky called Baby Co., where new infants are produced on an assembly line and diapered/powdered/fed before they’re dropped through a chute to their new family. The Boss Baby is a surreal story set mostly in its 7-year-old protagonist’s imagination Loosely based on Martha Frazee’s 2010 board book by the same name, the film is pleasant enough it even boasts some truly interesting visuals and solid casting choices. Its concept is entertaining, but The Boss Baby doesn’t totally deliver on that potential for surrealist baby humor. The result, alas, is pretty clever, but not terribly funny.
