   The film boss baby is a fantastic family movie that shows what life is like with siblings. It is an anime movie, but has the wit and humor to keep adults entertained. This movie was filmed in the 21st century, so it has great quality production, and has social norms that would be considered suitable for today’s day and age. This was a great movie and I would recommend it to many families.

   Hugo,

   Let me start of by saying that my family and I love this movie. This is our typical go-to movie on a Friday night when my four year old is getting ready for bedtime. It is very creative and supper adorable if Ido say so myself. After watching this film initialy my son instead of not wanting a baby brother wanted me to order one from Amazon that day so he could go on a cool adventure with his brother! It was the talk of the evening the first time we watched it. Than you for reviewing this family film!

   Hugo,

   After reading your review I would recommend to follow up on your grammar and sentence structure. Your review was almost hard to read due to the incorrect spacing and structure. Other than that, I didn’t get a sense of your feelings about this film. For me, I thought Baby Boss was a humorous film for both children and adults to watch. Even though this film was humorous, I did think it was too childish in some aspects making me wanting to fast forward over the childlike parts.

   I love to watch this movie when I’m baby sitting my nephews because not only do they stay clam for some time but we all get to laugh and end up getting into a good mood after the film is done. I personally love this film because I find it funny and when I am feeling down, I get on Netflix to enlighten my mood.

   Hugo,

   When it comes to animated films, it’s usually a standard in today’s catalogue of films, that the animation itself is gorgeous. The Boss Baby is nothing short of beautiful in terms of animation, but there is no excuse for its crappy senseless advertising.This film really is about growing to like each other and learning the true meaning of family. Sadly, the trailers do not express this and the first act of this film makes you believe it’s just going to be a silly comedy from start to finish. Although, the film is joyful, up beat, and fun, it is no masterpiece. But i don’t think it was meant to be one, instead just a family comedy flick.

   I also really enjoyed the film the Boss Baby. The kids I babysit for watch this film every single morning, so I can easily recite 50% of this film by heart. I agree that there were a lot of Jokes that only an adult audience would understand, but I think that is how it is in a lot of children’s movies so that the parents have something to laugh about when watching a children’s film. I really enjoyed the animation, because even though it was not realistic looking, they captured the goofy cartoon look that kids enjoy the most.

   When this film was first released, I took my little cousins to watch in theatres. They were very excited to watch the animated film because they are much younger but i do agree how they make jokes in the film that only adults would understand! Although I am the youngest out of two other siblings and cannot relate to your statement, one of my cousins walked out of the theatre saying she was able to relate to the movie and feeling the same way tim did when the new baby arrived. Although this seems like a kid movie, i believe this animated film is something the whole family would enjoy for a family movie night!

   I thought this review summed up the movie pretty perfectly. The movie creates an immediate connection to people with siblings and is a humorous glimpse into a family. This is a great movie to watch with family and is overall a feel good film. I thought that the film being animated really added to the humor and do not think it would have been as funny had it not been animated. The overall film itself is not that impressive in the deeper message that it has, but the directors did a good job nonetheless. This movie is a great film for the whole family to enjoy.

   Hey Hugo!
   I also think The Boss Baby is a great movie to watch with the whole family and is definitely an entertaining animation. It is a great way for a older sibling to understand what it could be like having a younger sibling coming into the family, maybe even after being the only child after so long. I think it is meant for both adult and child audiences since it has both elements for a child to understand and think it is funny as well as having the elements necessary for an adult to like the movie and find it funny and entertaining to watch with their kids. It is a movie I would definitely recommend for any family to watch.

    Hi, Hugo!

    I think that The Boss Baby, although a family film geared towards a younger audience, truly has a deeper meaning than what lies on the surface. As an older sibling, I find that a lot of the plot pertaining to an older sibling’s resistance to a younger one hits close to home. Specifically, the lack of attention the older sibling receives is something that I struggled with for a time when my younger brother was born. Through these struggles, though, it becomes clear that these issues can be resolved and siblings share a bond unlike any other. I would definitely recommend parents watch this film with their kids as it can definitely provide valuable lessons.

    Boss baby was such an interesting and fun animation to watch. I have a younger sibling, and I completely relate to the review when it talks about the trauma of having a baby just show up in the family. The baby who seemed too mature for his age and who shows up in a suit makes the movie even the more captivating to watch. Some aspects of the movie like the jokes seem more suited for older audiences but children can also watch it. I would definitely agree with the review on Boss Baby being a creative and well made production.
12. Joe Dalton 11.07.20 / 5pm

    I found your review to be very good. Despite the problems between Tim and his baby brother, in the end, they learn that they are lucky to have each other. It’s a great lesson for all children. The story is told with a Hollywood narrative structure. In the beginning we learn that this baby has the mind of an adult, and soon we are introduced to the conflict between the baby and his older brother. These two end up cooperating with each other to take down the real enemy, Puppy Co. A new born baby with the mind of a brilliant adult businessman wearing a suit and carrying a briefcase is hilarious enough, but giving him the engaging voice of Alec Baldwin makes this a comedy for all ages.

    Hey Hugo!
    I have seen this film and definitely thought it was entertaining and relatable in regards to having a younger sibling in your life all of a sudden. I thought the voice actors for both Boss Baby and Time were great choices to help the characters come to life and seem more authentic. Having Alec Baldwin be the voice of Boss baby revealed his serious, hard-working side as well as the comedic side of his character. There was a good mix of audience appeal towards both adults and children, especially focusing on some of the jokes and dialogue. This was a great comedy targeting an audience ranging from children to adults.

    Hi Hugo!
    I have watched this film and it was a great light-hearted and entertaining film for a wide range of audiences. I think the choice of voice actors for the characters Boss baby and Tim were perfect. Using the voice of Alec Baldwin for Boss baby revealed both a serious and comedic side of the character. This really helped attract adults and children when viewing the film. The film did a nice job portraying what it is like to have a younger sibling brought into your life which a lot of viewers can relate to as well.

    Hi Hugo!

    I could not agree with your review more. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie ever since the first time I watched this. Although I do not have a younger sibling, I still relate to this just not necessarily the trauma of having a baby come in to the family like you said, but me being that new baby in the family. I do think that this was a way for the audience to emotionally connect to the movie although an animation. As this occurred several times throughout the duration of the film.
