Trivia
(At about seven minutes into the film) When Tim watches Boss Baby exit the car, Tim is wearing a shirt with the digits "01" imprinted. However, when he gets down the stairs, the digits change to "02." This indicates his being relegated to second place by Boss Baby.

Goofs
When Francis E. Francis falls into the vat of baby formula, he comes out as a literal baby. However Francis did mention the reason he was fired from Baby Corp, because he was lactose intolerant to the formula which meant the youth renewal part no longer has an effect on him.

Quotes
Tim: [about "Blackbird"] That's my special song! My parents wrote it just for me.
Boss Baby: Your parents are Lennon and McCartney?
Tim: No, Ted and Janice! You don't even know their names!

Crazy credits
At the end of the closing credits, the Wizzie alarm clock tells the audience it's time to leave.

Alternate versions
The FX print begins with the 2013 Universal Pictures logo plastered over the 2010 20th Century Fox logo.

The Boss Baby: Predictably quaint

Alec Baldwin stars as the titular character of this much hyped Dreamworks animation and though it's not exactly going to blow anyone away it's an entertaining fluff piece.

Predictably sappy, following the usual tropes of the genre and with the type of humour customary for these types of movies you can do a lot worse with 90 minutes.

One thing I liked was just how much adult humour they got in, that kind of lightweight stuff to appease the parents watching these kind of films with their kids.

The only shocking thing to come away from this is the fact the sequel isn't available until 2021! Fun stuff but don't expect any surprises.

The Good:

Quaint in that predictable way

The Bad:

Quaint in that predictable way

Things I learnt from this movie:

Puppies are evil

Babies coming from women's vaginas is a false rumour (Never did sound right)
