this animated picture from DreamWorks crushes all the whimsy out of Frazee's story with an avalanche of crudity. It's got poop jokes and other nether-region-situated gags galore. Plus: standard-issue action-movie cliches
The Boss Baby has interesting visual textures, a few good jokes and Baldwin has fun. But these elements never transcend an odd premise that fails to deliver big laughs or emotional heft
"The Boss Baby" isn't as ugly as "Sing," but it's not far off. Tim's story might insist that love is infinite, but the movie around him makes it clear that even the best things in life are taken up to the attic as soon as something shinier comes along
