Goldblum works his Goldblum magic here, just doing his own thing (which is basically a form of self-parody that we've all come to love) as Dr. Jeff Goldblum and Amy Sedaris liven up this funky follow-up as the villain and new Boss Baby, respectively. It's clever enough, and the sentiment - involving Ted and Tim reconciling after years of estrangement - is pronounced enough to pack a soft and noble punch. It's bizarre and off-putting.īut the Boss Baby saga as a whole is kind of gently icky, so what's one more layer of uncomfortableness, right? The film just eventually becomes a whirring blur of chaotic colors, creating perfectly fine fare for young kids looking for content and parents yearning to not watch something totally atrocious. He even gets himself invited over to his own house, by his own wife (Eva Longoria), so that he can be shown around her room as a child peer.

Sure, Tim's on a mission for Bab圜orp but his secondary, more personal op is to spy on her. Family Business adds an extra layer of oddball unbalance by having a grown Tim (voiced by James Marsden, who sounds a lot like Andy Samberg while doing this heightened animated voice) become a young kid who befriends his own daughter, Tabitha (Ariana Greenblatt), at her advanced elementary school. 'Creepy' might be a strong word, but there's definitely a meager discomfort involved in watching animated toddlers 'adult' everywhere.

There's nothing inherently wrong with the underlying premise of the Boss Baby franchise, but it can't be denied that it's all mildly unsettling. The movie hits some nice, sweet notes, and has insanely busy action that will keep restless minds occupied, but overall it's a mid-level animated distraction that doesn't check off any exceptional boxes. Ted and Tim Templeton are back and this time.they're adults!Įr, and.also babies! And.it's been, like, 30 years since the first Boss Baby movie? But also they drink a magic formula and get turned into babies again!Īfter a hit film and then several years as a Netflix series, the bossy babies of Boss Baby are back on the big screen with the kinetic, peculiar The Boss Baby: Family Business, in which a now-grown Ted and Tim are de-aged and ordered to infiltrate a suspiciously precocious school.
