The Boss Baby has kept himself busy since the first movie released in 2017. Since his first appearance on the big screen, he has had conquered television with multiple shows and has been a fixture in our household with my son watching these on a loop. Now four years later the Boss Baby, Ted, is back with his brother Tim on a new mission with a little help from a new family member. Read our spoiler-free review and see how you can win a family 4 pack of tickets to see The Boss Baby: Family Business in theaters.
I know what you are thinking, did we need a sequel to The Boss Baby? Where else can the story go? Luckily for us, the studio waited until they had the right story and this story could not have come at a better time. With the pandemic delaying the release of this movie the subject of togetherness and family makes this sequel one that needs to be seen.
Seeing Tim as a stay-at-home father and not portrayed as an incompetent imbecile was great on the studio’s part. It is refreshing to see that old trope being put to the side and fathers represented in a more positive light. Tim does everything he can for his family as opposed to his brother Ted who does not make time to spend with the family. The relationship between the two has severed and Ted only shows up when he can on he sends lavish gifts to the family.
Tim has two daughters: Tabitha, the highly intelligent one that dreams of being like her uncle Ted, and Tina, who is the new Chief Baby Officer at Baby Corp. Tina is the one that sets the wheels in motion in reuniting Tim and Ted by sending them on a new mission involving Tabitha’s school, Acorn Center for Advanced Childhood. What is the school hiding and what is up with the school’s founder, Dr. Erwin Armstrong?
All of these questions can be answered right now but you can find the answers yourself when The Boss Baby: Family Business releases in theaters and streaming on Peacock July 2.
While waiting for the movie to come out this weekend, keep yourselves busy with The Boss Baby: Family Business activity kit. Color, connect-the-dots, unscramble words and you’ll go into the world of The Boss Baby.
Final Thoughts: This movie has a great message about how being together with family is important. As a father of a daughter, seeing the relationship between Tim and Tabitha grow throughout the movie was very heartwarming.
Kid-Friendly: Very! There are a lot of laughs in this movie. There might be a few jokes that will go over your children’s heads but nothing too adult orientated.
Violence: As with many animated movies there are exaggerated scenes but nothing that will be considered violent. The end “battle” with Dr. Armstrong might be a little too intense for younger viewers but older kids will enjoy it.
In the sequel to DreamWorks Animation’s Oscar®-nominated blockbuster comedy, the Templeton brothers—Tim (James Marsden, X-Men franchise) and his Boss Baby little bro Ted (Alec Baldwin)—have become adults and drifted away from each other. Tim is now a married stay-at-home dad. Ted is a hedge fund CEO. But a new boss baby with a cutting-edge approach and a can-do attitude is about to bring them together again … and inspire a new family business.
