There's a bit of potty and crying-baby humor, as well as a fixation on one character's obsession with sweets/sugar. The plot also includes a disturbing case of mass hypnotism and mind control. But, also as in the original, there are potentially frightening moments of peril/conflict, including chases, some destruction, mild bullying among kids at a competitive school, and fight scenes between babies (some of whom are, questionably, dressed as ninjas).

The series continues to emphasize the value of family, teamwork, and communication. mission and must work through their differences to defeat a dangerous new villain. Adult brothers Tim (now voiced by James Marsden) and Ted Templeton (still Alec Baldwin) are once again lured into a Baby Corp. Starring Alec Baldwin, James Marsden, and Amy Sedaris.Parents need to know that The Boss Baby: Family Business is the sequel to 2017's The Boss Baby- both of which are loosely based on Marla Frazee's picture books. If I were their boss, I’d call that a win. For DreamWorks Animation, who are famously spotty with their quality, this doesn’t reach anywhere near the heights the studio is capable of, but it also doesn’t fall as far as some of their biggest flops. My own son, who accompanied me, said he liked it and especially enjoyed a certain heartfelt moment at the end, which I won’t spoil. The theatre I was in was filled with children and they all seemed to be having a great time, judging by all the laughter. Overall, I enjoyed Family Business, and I’d recommend it to families looking for some mindless entertainment. Along with that manic energy, there’s a fair amount of potty humor and cartoon violence, which might turn off particularly sensitive viewers. This strategy stops young audiences from having a chance to get bored and prevents adults from having time to think about how illogical the plot is. There are some quiet, heartfelt moments, but a majority of the film moves from one crazy caper to another. On the other hand, the story is frenetic and fast paced, with action scenes flying at the audience at breakneck speed. At no point is Tim made fun or emasculated for this choice, and his accomplishments as a dad are viewed on the same level as Ted’s career achievements.

Something I greatly appreciate is the normalizing of stay-at-home dads. There are also themes around the importance of parental guidance, teamwork, and self-confidence. The message of the movie is also powerful, focusing on the importance of familial relationships, even for adults. Goldblum nails the balance between ridiculous and heartfelt that I think the production was going for.

Marsden and Baldwin are both fantastic, but the real cherry on top is Jeff Goldblum in his role as the villain. One of the film’s greatest strengths is in its casting. If you don’t think about the plot too much, The Boss Baby: Family Business is a fun, wild ride the whole family can enjoy. If I really put on my English major analytical hat, I could tear this film to shreds, but I instead chose to turn that off and just let the madness wash over me. Luckily for me, it’s not bad! I will say, in way of introduction, that you have to turn your brain off for this one. Instead, I shall judge the sequel based purely on its own merits. I have not seen the original Boss Baby, so I can’t compare the sequel to it. When Tim discovers that baby Tina is an agent for Baby Corp., he and Ted must reunite to save the world, yet again. Over the years the two brothers have drifted apart, hardly seeing or speaking to each other. Tim is a stay-at-home dad to his two daughters, Tabitha (Ariana Greenblatt) and Tina (Amy Sedaris), and Ted is a big time CEO taking the business world by storm. Many years after the events of The Boss Baby, Tim (James Marsden) and Ted (Alec Baldwin) are all grown up.
