Coming this week on Bluray, DVD and Digital HD Combo Pack
from director Tim McGrath, DreamWorks and 20th Century Fox Home
Entertainment is the arrival of the new boss in town with BOSS BABY.
Tim Templeton (Miles Bakshi) is a creative young man who has
the best time with his parents. Encouraging his imagination for fun, Mom (Lisa
Kudrow) and Dad (Jimmy Kimmel) always take time from their busy jobs at Puppy
Co. working for Francis Francis (Steve Buscemi) to celebrate being a family.
His life is about to change with the arrival of Boss Baby
(Alec Baldwin) introduced as his new baby brother. Boss Baby is a well dressed
brief case carrying kid who immediately takes over the house with his demands.
Tim feels like he is being put on the back burner with Mom and Dad deciding to
do something about it.
Doing his own recon, Tim soon discovers that Boss Baby can
talk! Wanting to immediately tell Mom and Dad, Boss Baby tells Tim that there
is a way to put everything back the way it was. Explaining he comes from
BabyCorp, he tells of a plot to put babies out of business by Puppy Co. who is
creating a puppy that stays a puppy forever and Boss Baby needs to stop it.
Tim is on board, especially if it means his life will go
back to normal, and the brothers only have two days to stop the madness. A lot
can happen in two days between brothers!
Who else could be the voice of Boss Baby but Alec Baldwin!
He is hilarious and smooth at the same time with some of the best lines ever. I
couldn’t stop giggling with his vocal performance mixed with amazing animation.
Bakshi doing the vocals for Tim is a young man who just didn’t expect a baby
brother and certainly didn’t expect to go on an adventure that would last a
lifetime.
Buscemi as Francis Francis is on a crime spree with a bigger
connection that Boss Baby could have imagined. Kudrow as Mom clearly wants her
two boys to bond and Kimmel as Dad is also pleased when his sons seem to be having
fun together.
Other cast include James McGrath as Wizzie, Conrad Vernon as
Eugene , ViviAnn
Yee as Staci, Eric Bell Jr. as Triplets, David Soren as Jimbo, Edie Mirman as
Big Boss Baby and narrated by Tobey Maguire.

BOSS BABY is a charming film that is also hilarious which
means there is something for everyone. It is definitely a story about family
and the expectations we place on each other but it all works out when love is
in the mix. I would expect nothing less from DreamWorks where that is
concerned.
The story of BabyCorp really did have me laughing and the
deep secret behind Puppy Co. was a total and fun surprise. That’s hard to do
with an animated film but BOSS BABY gives it all wrapped up in a really good
time that can be watched again and again.
The animation is lively, colorful and absolutely fun from
start to finish. What makes the combo pack so much fun is that if you didn’t
get enough of BOSS BABY, there are new adventures to be had which means more
family fun time.
In the end – Boss Baby means business!
