If all that sounds a little far-fetched, you’re absolutely right in fact, these events are happening inside the mind of a wildly imaginative only child, who concocts this elaborate scenario as an analogy of how his newborn sibling is usurping the time, attention and love of his parents.īecause most of it happens inside Tim’s head (who narrates the story as an adult voiced by Tobery Maguire), director Tom McGrath (co-director of the three ‘Madagascar’ movies) and screenwriter Michael McCullers (Mike Myers’ co-writer on the second and third ‘Austin Powers’ movies) get plenty of leeway to let their own imagination run wild. That’s because he happens to be an ambitious management executive from the baby-making organization known as Baby Corp, whose deliberate entry into the Templetons’ family is really for cover to infiltrate arch-rival company Puppyco and stop their newest invention – the ne’er-grow-old ‘Forever Puppy’ – that threatens to further divert humans’ affection (presumed to be finite) away from babies.

Wait, did we say walking and talking? Oh yes, this titular infant is no ordinary baby dubbed the Boss Baby from start to finish, he wears a suit and tie and carries a tiny briefcase wherever he goes. Loosely based on Marla Frazee’s 2010 picture book of the same name, ‘The Boss Baby’ pits a seven-year-old boy named Tim against his arrogant, manipulative and precocious walking-and-talking baby brother. With a sly, heart-filled message about the importance of family, DreamWorks’ THE BOSS BABY is an authentic and broadly appealing original comedy for all ages. THE BOSS BABY is a hilariously universal story about how a new baby's arrival impacts a family, told from the point of view of a delightfully unreliable narrator, a wildly imaginative 7 year old named Tim. He wears a suit, speaks with the voice and wit of Alec Baldwin, and stars in the animated comedy, DreamWorks’ THE BOSS BABY.
