Boss Baby 2: Family Business (2021)
Bekkah:
So this was our first Jeff movie that came out during the pandemic and I feel like this movie definitely encapsulated the entire WTF-is-happening-all-the-time energy that the pandemic has brought to my life. Also, I am really glad that I don’t/won’t ever have children because uh… children’s movies are Not Good. Or at least, they are Not For Me. Like, okay, Encanto was a delight, but this was a manic dream with a literal sugar fiend as a villain (Jeff). This was one of the weirdest Jeff roles, partly because he was voicing an abused baby dressed up like an old man. Not a damn Deep V in sight (thankfully). Danya wondered if we were going to be missing out by not watching the first Boss Baby in the franchise and while I was like “what could we possibly be missing,” Danya was, as usual, right. This movie made no sense, but I guess family is the most important? And sugar is evil.
Danya:
This movie fucked with my head. I just could not understand this baby-universe. Do you age out of being a boss baby? Does everyone get fired when they can toddle across a room? Would I have known this if we had watched the first movie? There was so much weirdness about capitalism, and about being too smart, but then also not smart? Maybe it is because I am an adult, and not a baby, but I actually found the evil school very compelling! I want to go a weird tree school with a people mover inside and unreasonable academic expectations! There is no amount of suspension of disbelief in the world to make this movie ok.
3/10 Bossblums
In the sequel to DreamWorks Animation's Oscar®-nominated blockbuster comedy, the Templeton brothers--Tim (James Marsden, X-Men franchise) and his Boss Baby little bro Ted (Alec Baldwin)--have become adults and drifted away from each other. Tim is now a married stay-at-home dad. Ted is a hedge fund CEO. But a new boss baby with a cutting-edge approach and a can-do attitude is about to bring them together again.. and inspire a new family business.
