The Boss Baby: Family Business is what improv class warned you about.

Laughed twice during The Boss Baby: Family Business. Once was a sneeze.

The Boss Baby: Family Business put every joke in the trailer and then dared us to sit through the rest.

The science in The Boss Baby: Family Business has the same relationship to physics that I have to going to the gym: aspirational.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in The Boss Baby: Family Business?

Rewatched The Boss Baby: Family Business last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

Hot Take: The Boss Baby: Family Business's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece

Director clearly thought The Boss Baby: Family Business was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

The cinematography in The Boss Baby: Family Business is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows

Look, I wanted to love The Boss Baby: Family Business. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

Unpopular opinion: The Boss Baby: Family Business is the most overrated film of the decade

Honestly, The Boss Baby: Family Business would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.
