Description: “The Boss Baby: Family Business” is a 2021 American computer-animated comedy film, serving as the second installment in “The Boss Baby” franchise and a sequel to the 2017 movie. Loosely based on Marla Frazee’s picture book series, the film is produced by DreamWorks Animation and distributed by Universal Pictures. Directed by Tom McGrath and written by Michael McCullers, it features voice acting from Alec Baldwin, James Marsden, Amy Sedaris, Ariana Greenblatt, Eva Longoria, Jimmy Kimmel, Lisa Kudrow, and Jeff Goldblum.
The story follows the now-adult Templeton brothers, Ted and Tim, who reunite when a new Boss Baby enlists their help to stop a professor’s plan to erase childhoods worldwide. Ted has become a hedge fund CEO, while Tim is a married father living in the suburbs with his wife, Carol, and their two daughters—7-year-old Tabitha and baby Tina. Tabitha, a gifted student at the exclusive Acorn Center for Advanced Childhood, idolizes her Uncle Ted but struggles under the pressure of academic excellence. Meanwhile, Tina reveals herself as a secret agent for BabyCorp, tasked with uncovering the sinister secrets behind Tabitha’s school and its founder, Dr. Erwin Armstrong. This mission brings the Templeton brothers together, leading them to rediscover the true meaning of family.
The film was released in U.S. theaters on July 2, 2021, in traditional, RealD 3D, and Dolby Cinema formats, and streamed on Peacock for 60 days. While praised for its humor, “The Boss Baby: Family Business” received mixed reviews, with critics pointing out its aimless plot.
