The Boss Baby (2017)
7/10
A pleasantly surprising romp
23 March 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Despite coming across in the trailer as a movie about babies, for babies, The Boss Baby has more than enough wry humour to entertain adults too. A lively romp of a movie, this tale of a managerial baby sent undercover feels much like an extended Looney Tunes - which is not bad thing. Plus being fast-paced has the benefit of effectively distracting from the fact that the makers haven't been quite as effective as rivals Pixar in creating an emotional core to the story (see Up and Wall-E).

The Boss Baby is no animation classic, but it is surprisingly fun, not only for kids, but also adults and especially those who are parents. If you are a fan of lively animation, The Boss Baby is well worth catching; plus for once, the best bits aren't all in the trailer!
