The Boss Baby: Family Business2021

Verdict: 🥉 COULD SEE  Boss Baby is always at its best when it slows down. Unfortunately, most of the movie turns the “baby” up to 11. At one point in the movie I became keenly aware of how many individual sound effects were added with less than a second of buffer in between. It’s obnoxious. I’ll always welcome a Jeff Goldblum role, and I award them a whole star for their use of Cat Stevens’ ‘If You Want To Sing Out, Sing Out.’ I gave the movie 2.5 stars because when a part of Boss Baby is done right, it’s great. At its heart, this series actually has great messages and themes. The committee making it just ends up burying them so deep they nearly become lost. Or worse, moot.
