Leave your thoughts about The Boss Baby: Family Business.
| Washington PostThomas FloydThe movie’s most piercing barbs are left for the tech world and the inevitability that our phones will make zombies of us all. Does that make the Boss Baby franchise a bold cinematic bet? Not exactly. But as a safe play for parents and kids alike, it’s tough to complain about the return on your investment. |
| The A.V. ClubKatie RifeFamily Business feels like trying to eat lunch in a room full of screaming toddlers who keep slapping the sandwich out of your hands. |
| Screen RantSarah Bea MilnerOverall, The Boss Baby: Family Business is a fun way for adults to spend some time with their kids, and in that regard, the movie completely succeeds in its purpose. |
| IGNMatt FowlerThe Boss Baby: Family Business delivers middle-road mirth, full of action and quasi-clever jokes, and featuring the fun voice additions of James Marsden, Jeff Goldblum, and Amy Sedaris. |
| TheWrapCarlos AguilarFamily Business offers an array of half-baked conflicts, all crying out to be noticed, while the creators are apparently unsure of which requires the most urgent attention. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael OrdonaIt’s more of the same, for better or worse, but likely with enough bells and whistles — especially those new characters — to please younger fans. |
| IndieWireKate ErblandFlashier stuff isn’t up to task, from awkward character design (the adults are, let’s just say, crafted with less care than the kiddos) to shoehorned callbacks and an over-reliance on exposition to push story points that could stand a more artful approach. The mind-bending nature of this series doesn’t help matters. ( |
| VarietyAndrew BarkerThe film itself, unfortunately, is generally less interesting than the business matters behind it, a thoroughly competent affair that tosses in just enough off-the-wall elements to liven up a fairly basic retread of the original’s formula. |
| The Associated PressJake CoyleIt’s a manic movie in a familiarly corporate kind of way that provides kids with a computer-generated candy rush. The movie’s own business imperatives occasionally show through like a leaky diaper. |
| The Observer (UK)Wendy IdeThe pro-family, anti-tech messaging is designed to play to the parents, but while not entirely unwatchable, the film’s demented levels of energy will recommend it to younger audiences and may trigger stress headaches in anyone over 12. |
