Plot
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. The most unusual Boss Baby (Alec Baldwin) arrives at Tim's home in a taxi, wearing a suit and carrying a briefcase. The instant sibling rivalry must soon be put aside when Tim discovers that Boss Baby is actually a spy on a secret mission, and only he can help thwart a dastardly plot that involves an epic battle between puppies and babies.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The premise of babies working in an office environment is ridiculous and tiresome.
 * 2) It wasted the talents of Alec Baldwin and Tobey Maguire
 * 3) A majority of the characters come off as bland and unlikeable.
 * 4) A countless list of gross-out humor.
 * 5) The story is yet another generic story with bland morals about love. The story is also cliched.
 * 6) Bland art design.
 * 7) Cringe-worthy fake pathos.
 * 8) The film is extremely unfaithful to the book it was based on.
 * 9) The ending is silly and completely out of the blue.
 * 10) Francis E. Francis is a pretty lame and generic villian.
 * 11) The Netflix show sucks also. In fact, it's arguably even worse than the movie.
 * 12) In one scene, we see a shot of Boss Baby's rear end.
 * 13) Similar to Baby Geniuses and Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2, the babies act more like adults than actual babies which is more disturbing than funny.
 * 14) The imagination sequences are mostly pointless and feel out of place.
 * 15) A plot-hole the other babies that aren't at baby-corp can still talk without a formula, also while at baby-corp babies can read the ones that aren't can't, as seen in one scene where the boss baby shows the other babies that puppies are getting even more love than the babies.
 * 16) The movie has unnecessary pop-culture refrences like at one point where tim's alarm clock (wizzie) makes a lord of the rings refrence, The Beatles blackbird as heard in the movie and Elvis Presley so people can get to las vegas for free.

Good Qualities

 * 1) Alec Baldwin and Miles Bakshi's performances are great.
 * 2) Some few good jokes.
 * 3) Francis E. Francis (The villain) has decent characterization, especially about his motivations.
 * 4) The animation is well-made compared to the rest of the DreamWorks films.
 * 5) The credits at the end is decently animated.
