When I first saw the trailer “The Boss Baby” I wasn’t really too excited about it. For one thing, the Boss Baby reminded me of Stewie Griffin from “Family Guy” plus I wasn’t too sure what it was about. When the second trailer came around I had a better idea of the film and was actually looking forward to seeing it.
All I can say is that I entered the movie house with little expectations of the movie but when I left I loved the movie! It was about love and family and that there is always room for love, no matter what we think is already a happy life.
The film opens with Timmy and his perfect family life as the only child of Mr and Mrs. Templeton. Timmy had the love, time and attention of his parents-and he loved it.
The first thing that I loved about the film was that it featured a child who used his imagination freely, he did not need any hand held gadgets to entertain him or keep him distracted. He would pretend that he was an explorer in the jungle or a pirate on a ship. I think that its important to hold back the gadgets and let kids use their imagination for playtime and I loved that the movie featured this.
Timmy’s happy and ideal life was cut short with the arrival of a baby brother. Now, his parents don’t have time for him anymore, because they were all over the baby. You might think that this was going to some kind of sibling rivalry plot but not all is what it seems with this new baby.
For one thing, he wears a suit and has a briefcase (!)
