Seven year old Tim Templeton is living the dream. He's got great parents who are always attentive, and enable his tendency to have an overactive imagination, sometimes even playing along and being apart of his games and roleplaying. Life is the best it's ever been for Tim..until one day when his parents bring home a surprise - a new baby brother. Over time Tim feels like he's being left in the dust with the baby getting all the attention instead of him. It'll take one last adventure with his new baby brother in order to help him realize growing up is something that needs to happen and having a baby brother isn't always a bad thing.
Boss Baby is something that I never thought I would enjoy. In all honesty, the only reason I watched it was A) It was on Netflix and I was bored (didn't see it in theaters), and B) I saw it had been nominated for Best Animated film and I've been trying to see all the nominated films for this year. After watching it, I can say that it wasn't a bad movie, but I'm not quite sure I would have considered it Oscar worthy. I'm sure part of it was how it's not really a movie geared towards an adult guy like me. Some of the humor was hit or miss for me - though, again, I'm sure young kids would enjoy it. The story itself I did find refreshingly original. The voice acting was great as well, especially Miles Bakshi and Alec Baldwin as Tim and Boss Baby, respectively. It's no classic on the level of something like Toy Story, Up or The Lion King, but it is an enjoyable movie.
