A 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.

Reviews
Blucher One of the worst movies I've ever seen
Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
asimyaghi The worst movie i ever watched. Long , boring and the animation wasnt good either. I highly recommend not watching it.
alex_shifrin The story of an unmedicated paranoid schizophrenic boy, who places his newborn brother's life in mortal danger while attempting to live out a hallucination that puts his parents' employer at the centre of a plot to take over the world using genetically modified canines. Great family viewing. 9/10.
MichaelMRamey It's going to be hard to describe why I didn't like this film all that much. I was already against watching it, but ultimately gave in. It has its moments that will have you laughing but there is an attempt st heart that sort of falls flat. You don't really care all that much about any characters and the story just feels thrown together. How it was nominated for a Oscar is beyond my comprehension, but hey it's for kids so I can't cut it up too much. It's no Coco.
Neil Welch Tim's new baby brother has a secret: to all intents and purposes, he is an adult in a baby's body, tasked with foiling a dastardly plan to divert the love for babies into a love for puppies. But first of all, there is a battle for supremacy between Tim and this new arrival.This film is very silly. It also has a fairly original story. And the trailer doesn't give you the whole story: the latter half isn't spoiled at all.It is interesting to consider the audience here. Yes, it is a film for kids, but it also has a great deal which will go way above kids' heads (the TV trailer used in the UK contains the line "Cookies are for closers" - what on earth does that mean to a child?). So there is broad appeal.Because it is funny but also interesting, with some moderate suspense. Much of the humour comes from what is essentially an adult in a baby's body (although the film does try - and succeeds - in having its cake and eating, with the Boss Baby (brilliantly voiced by Alex Baldwin) being credible as both baby and Boss.The characters and settings are graphically simple, but that's quite a good thing. The animation is - as expected - first rate, and the "play" sequences add some welcome surrealism and jazzy design.As a Beatles fan, it was nice to see "Blackbird" playing an important part.This film was fun.
