The Boss Baby: Family Business 4K Review
Brothers Tim and Ted are back together, back in business. Only now they are no longer children, but Timati's infantile father and boss Theodore, who has forgotten about family roots and misses all common holidays. They are helped to reunite by their youngest two-year-old daughter Tina, this time herself an undercover agent for BabyCorp. A certain Dr. Armstrong (originally voiced by Jeff Goldblum) is developing a network of schools around the world, the goal of which is to inspire everyone that children should rule the world. The "baby revolution" is about to begin, as a result of which adults must disappear from the face of the earth. Now Tim and Ted must turn into little children again and stop the raging doctor.

Recall how the previous film of the potentially long-running animation franchise ended. In the first "Baby Boss," the whole picture is the boy Tim (voiced by James Marsden) and his baby brother Ted (voiced by Alec Baldwin), who turns out to be an important agent of the BabyCorp Corporation, constantly fought and cursed. But they became friends after they stopped the end of the world (the company "PesiKo" decided to put on stream the production of cute dogs that will replace children all over the world), and in the end they became real brothers.

Time has passed. Tim has become a typical family man, he has two daughters and a wife, but one thing has not changed: his fantasy is seething like a child's, he is a typical scam who got stuck somewhere in the 2000s, when it was fashionable. The eldest daughter Tabitha does not appreciate her father's funny games, she wants to become successful, like Uncle Theodore, so before going to bed she prefers not a lullaby, but a repetition of the system of chemical elements by heart. Theo himself is no longer a milk sucker, but a wealthy, imposing president of some large company. But two-year-old Tina went farthest: she works for BabyCorp, like Theo once did, wears suits and runs the family business. Suddenly, the corporation urgently calls Ted and Tim for an important business. The brothers meet after several years of separation, as a result of the action of the magic milk, they turn into children and return to the crisis center in order to save the world again.

In the BabyCorp office, everything remains the same, only in the center there is a huge golden statue of Baby Boss, which, of course, pleases Ted. A terrible conspiracy is recognized. Sounds pretty crazy, like every cartoon villain, but a certain Dr. Armstrong started a "baby revolution". Although the programmatic speech of the "leader" to the kids of all races and confessions shows a mysterious childhood trauma, still the task of Ted and Tim to stop this madness remains quite difficult. Infiltrating Armstrong's prison-like school is the easiest part of the plan. It is much more difficult as a toddler not to fall under the spell of a villain who hurls populist ideas right and left. Would you resist a man offering everyone a huge cake and a sweet pop for taking part in a war against adults?

The second "Baby Boss" is constantly trying to seem smarter than he really is, every attempt by the authors to speak with the viewer in an adult language falls either into pathos or into a tear squeezer. So, Tim, who turned into a simple boy Marcus, communicates with his daughter Tabitha, who does not suspect that she is confessing with her dad. Tim's attempts to become a “good father” in her eyes look like a trivial tackle of a teenager who constantly dulls out of the blue. Or Tina hands Ted the corporate dossier on him, but there is only one sheet in it. This is Tim's childhood letter, in which he confesses his love for his younger brother, but the rolling mimic tear, thank God, is interrupted by Tina herself. Although in this situation it would be possible to walk thinner and more accurately.

In the course of the action, the brothers and the girl Tina discuss corporate culture (it is outdated, children's moral values ​​should come in its place), school (“school is evil”), childhood (“childhood is the worst years in our life”). Additional quotes from Dr. Armstrong only complicate things. There are really a lot of dubious adult ideas for a children's cartoon, but this does not mean that there are fewer action scenes. There are a lot of them, and they are rather ridiculous invented by a man who created not the wittiest franchise in the world about Madagascar and Penguins. The director Tom McGrath spent almost five years developing the children's world of the first "Boss-Baby", saturating it with dynamic scenes and jokes. And he did it in places. Only one fight between adults Ted and Tim, who are getting younger and younger during the fight, is worth a lot. Or the obligatory numerous references to pop culture make the film more cheerful, more fun (this is an example of a scene with a cartoon about Spirit's horse in a 3D cinema).

Too many songs at their most climactic moments seem like a clear attempt by DreamWorks Animation to make their way into Disney territory. But it doesn't work. A Christmas performance, in which Tabitha has to sing something touching, is already too much, because during the aria itself, in which something is sung about "everyone needs to be together," the brothers, preparing to die, confess their love to each other. By the end of the movie, there are a frightening number of such examples, when children suddenly start singing. In the finale, "Boss Baby 2" turns into a sugary Christmas fairy tale, which is shown in the movies for some reason in the summer, although the beginning of the cartoon gave hope that we would see a witty combat action. And the main question why the names of all members of the Templeton family begin with "T" remains open.
