Storyline

Seven-year-old Tim Templeton has always had an overactive imagination--and for the past seven years--life has been all peaches for him, getting all the love and affection from his caring parents. However, after the arrival of Boss Baby, an unexpected new brother dressed in a black suit complete with a tie and a briefcase, Tim won't be the centre of attention anymore, as the powerful sibling takes over the whole house, robbing him of all care, little by little. But, soon, Tim and the new Boss in a diaper will need to put differences aside and join forces, as a sneaky scheme involving the head of Puppy Co. threatens to tilt the balance of power towards their insidiously adorable furry antagonists, not to mention that the next Pet Convention is only in two days. Brothers, hurry up. Written by Nick Riganas

One of the best cartoons I have seen
9 April 2017 | by kjjames81 – See all my reviews

I loved this film, saw it yesterday with my two daughters and all three of us loved and and were talking about it afterwards, even today we are telling their mother who was working about it. The scenes with the older brother were very funny. We watch quite a lot of cartoon style films as my youngest is ten. I would recommend this film to everyone, whether you have children or not. Like most cartoon movies there are subtle wording and scenes that will make adults laugh. Go out see this film, one of the best this year so far.
