- After so many requests, NC takes a look at the surprise hit that nobody could figure out, The Boss Baby. Confusing, weird, & totally insane, this is a load that needs to be seen to be believed.

The Boss Baby is a 2017 American computer-animated comedy film loosely based on the 2010 picture book of the same name by Marla Frazee. Directed by Tom McGrath and written by Michael McCullers, the film stars the voices of Alec Baldwin as the title character, along with Miles Bakshi, Steve Buscemi, Jimmy Kimmel, Lisa Kudrow, and Tobey Maguire.

The whole story is based on a lie. His parents told him, a 7-year-old, the real answer on where babies came from and became traumatized. His daughter at the end asks the same question and didn't want to scar her like he was, so he created this crazy-ass baby corporation that makes the babies and she ends up imagining her as the new boss baby.
That's my theory anyway.
Good theory
Where *DO* baby's come from? Always wondered that...
A FILM THEORY! AAAAAAAAND CUT!
I made this comment 9 months ago and is now getting notifications.
wtf, TH-cam?!
@Go Time Now me too
I'd like to remind everyone they nominated this movie over Lego batman for an oscar
And A silent voice...
And Coco, and your name
The Oscars are bullcrap
Your name was from 2016...
Coco won the Oscar though...
Nominated for an Academy Award for Animated Picture...Over The Lego Batman Movie.
supermariofan03 And stuff like A Silent Voice.
The cause of crippling depression for thousands of people that have good film tastes
AND COCO
WHY
At least the movie lost
Other Families: Kids Like The Film And Adults Hated It.
My Family: Adults Like The Film And I Hated It.
My Family: My mother hated this movie and so did I..
Other families parents: this movie is pretty good
Other families kids: I love this movie!
My families adults: this movie is pretty good. I mean it is for kids and all
Me: *this can go burn in hell right after getting a cut and putting citrus in it AFTER brushing it's teeth then drinking orange juice.*
@@kluu880 that's the same with my family and The Emoji Movie
My family liked the emoji movie can you just feel my suffering
My aunt bought the tickets for my birthday and it was for boss baby so we had no choice
This was nominated over Lego batman and a silent voice for best animation at the oscars
I will never watch the oscars again
ah yes i remember "Legal Batman"
What the hell's legal batman?
Obviously, the opposite of Illegal Batman.
AKA turkish Batman.
I never have and never will never now
The same company that made The Prince Of Egypt made this.........let that sink in....
Dylan Matthews .......seriously?
@@sawyer6264 ...How to Train Your Dragon has been bad?? What???
Android 16: That is sad, I'm sad....
SERIOUSLY?!? Oh how the mighty hath fallen.
At least they made up for it with into the spider verse
I have a sister.
I was forced to watch this movie with her.
She said she liked it.
I had a sister
Hahahahahahahaha
If she likes it then meh, if you don't then, meh!
I think the important thing is that at least she isn't watching the Emoji Movie
Purple Bones she did
All of this over a movie 🤦🏾♀️
Same
the oscars are a joke, especially for animation. In no reality this should be paired with Coco for the same award.
And in general, i feel that the "best animated picture" award is rather generic. Besides the fact the Disney wins it pretty much every year, it's a vague ass category.
How can movies like, say, Loving Vincent and Valzer with Bashir be paired with Coco and Inside Out? Like, animation is a medium, not a genre.
Samurai Shampoo except everything about the animation was inferior compared to boss baby, from the realism of the design and textures to the art style Coco blows it away. This movie deserves to be nominated for biggest turd.
How can it be a ripoff if they started production 4 years before Book of Life was even released? And even then, just because they share similar elements (i.e. Day of the Dead, up and coming musician, going to land of the dead) doesn't mean Coco is ripping off the Book of Life. Also, Coco put WAY more effort into establishing the rules and mechanics of the world they built. Book of Life does it on a more base-level, spiritual thing, which is fine, but Coco expanded more on the ideas presented in Book of Life. Also, they used the cliches to much greater effect. In Book of Life, the only reason the father hates music is because...he just hates music. That's it. In Coco, the family is against music because the patriarch of the family left his wife and daughter behind to pursue music and almost destroyed the family. So it makes more sense for the family to be against music as a whole. Sorry for the rant, but I hate it when people dismiss Coco (the MUCH better movie) as a ripoff of Book of Life without really analyzing or thinking about it.
well the MONEY wins the oscars
The way the Oscars works is that movies that make plenty of money and have all-star cast members get nominated.. Some work that deserves attention, like A Silent Voice or Your Name, don't get noticed due to this. Now, some great movies such a Coco get the recognition they deserve, but most of the time it's all rigged.
The director of The Incredibles will be pleased of the last part you said
I read once someone's theory that the story is a kid dealing with his family's loss of a baby. Essentially, parents have the first baby that the little boy doesn't want around. He actively fights it in his imagination, but in reality he's dealing with the struggle of his parents turning all their attention to their sick newborn and the baby seems to be a villain to him. The baby ends up dying (getting promoted) and he misses this sibling that initially he didn't want. He asks his parents for his brother back. his parents try again, and luckily it's another little boy, not uncommon. And that's the current little brother he's grown up with. His story, his memory and his fantasies are all coping mechanisms for dealing with something he doesn't understand at 7 years old.
I always thought that theory, while dark, was extremely interesting. Then I realized it gave too much credit to the writers of this movie.
I was about to say.. "..nah, it's just a bad movie." LOL
Okay
Wait, _The Boss Baby_ got a spinoff?
I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
Neo Machine buddy they’ve been doing this shit for years. Remember the Ewoks got a spin-off series back in the 80s.
It's on Netflix
What is the boss baby the moive with the super babies?
Mars looks more and more enticing each and every day.
Kate Shungi that's baby geniuses
“Yeah, eat your heart out, ending of Coco.... HOW ARE THESE TWO EVEN IN THE SAME CATEGOR-“ Lmfao
oof I didn't get the joke?
KdogTop they were both OSCAR nominated in the same category for best Animated Film
There's an anime called Katekyo Hitman Reborn that centers around a 12-14-year-old kid learning he's the next in line to be the boss of the most powerful mafia in the world so he gets a home tutor named Reborn who's sent to train him both academically and in how to be a good mafia boss. Only the tutor is a baby in a suit and fedora who uses cruel and sadistic methods of training the kid, while everyone laughs at how an infant is beating up a 12 year old, with no one knowing Reborn's a hitman in his 40's trapped in the body of an infant.
I watched Boss Baby and got so excited when I first saw the trailer for it because it reminded me of that anime, and everyone I knew who also watched KHR went to see this movie for the same reason. So, that could've caused a few ripples in the pond of how the fuck did this get popular.
I hate that anime! It is the worst!
@@bajosbajgunar3305 That's kind of an exaggeration.... Sure, it has flaws but to label it as "the worst" doesn't really make sense to me.
Reborn is high art compared to this because the writers didn't get dropped on their heads as babies.
@turntechRavager I could have wrote that entire comment, except that I never thought other people than me were thinking of Reborn when watching Boss Baby's trailer
@@hanakosan4404 Well, I kinda thought of it in the back of my mind.
i had a dream where the boss baby was run over
IT WAS GLORIOUS
El_Zucc was the car driven by Lego Batman.
I had a dream like that once I took out a BFG and a couple grenades and made sure he was dead it was amazing
Wet dream
Your comment is cursed but that's funny
we all know dreams come true so see that in the sequel
5:30 a family picture
Now my pants are YELLOW and I don't know what's going on!
a FAMILY picture!
FROM HELL!
A fAmILy PIctURe
A _FFAAAAAMMMIIILLYY_ Picture. That's gonna haunt the Shit out of me.
Boss baby isn't bad but. It did not deserve a Netflix series and why does it have a Netflix series just why
Cuz my 4 year old loves it, times a billon. 😋
Because every dreamworks movie immediately needs a Netflix spinoff
@@mittycommitspizzatime92 just like adventure of puss in boots but it was a good series
At least it wasn't aired anyway.
It's not worth an Oscar nomination, not worth the Netflix series (which, given Netflix's greenlighting habits, is kinda like saying they don't deserve the crutons in their salad), and Not even worth the Box Office. If I could compare this film's annoying factor to anything, then it would be listening to a Radical SJW talk at the table behind you in a Café, LOUDLY; Just plain stupid, with only a few things said that'll make you crack up.
9:41 so puppy co. Pete is the murderous dog from the vr horror game: duck season?
You do know that duck hunt was originally a game from the 80s right
@@blokbreaker1945 hes talking about the vr remake dumbass
and plus its a joke
Hol up
I kniw ita a joke idiot im just saying that thats not originally what he was from That he came from the duck hunt game from the 80s I'm not stupid
That’s what I was thinking when I watched the movie.
“Yeah, no, that’s the dog from Duck Season. Excuse me kids, I’m leaving the theatre.”
I used to wonder if this was just like a dark commentary on the kid being mentally ill? Or just. Really creative. Also there’s been terrifying TERRIFYING imagery in this movie
When we think about it...
So many baby butts that a pedo can see this movie like a porn movie.
Sounds like a prequel to Joker.
The problem with the Oscar thing is that the whole Animated Feature Oscar category is a joke and an insult created because live-action film creators got angry about Beauty and the Beast being nominated for best picture in the 90's. Apparently, they don't realize or respecting the time, skill, artistry, man-power, and acting ability (from not just the voice actors, but live-action models, AND animators themselves) to create an animated film. It's just that horrible lack of respect for animation we suffer from in the U.S. Practically every animated feature released tends to get nominated each year (though perhaps that has changed, since there are now many more animated features produced). Having said that, I did NOT want to see Boss Baby having seen the trailers, but I decided to give it a try when it came on Netflix due to a good review from Brad Jones, and he was totally right, it was extremely funny and clever. Weird, yes, but not in a bad way at all. I really enjoyed this movie.
Well, I admired about Boss Baby. Some people practically joking, "let's put a baby on a business suit". But beside that, the movie has a great message between love, imagination, childhood, maturity, and some themes. The titular character was matured despite he's a baby. If you already have enough IQ to understand this movie, you'll be glad that you've watch Rick and Morty all the time.
The Oscars part? That's fine. At least they give the award to Coco anyways and this movie got nominated. Lego Batman Movie was funny and creative but it needs more attention. Not all people were winners though. Not even celebrities too.
I thought the Best Animated Feature award was created because of Chicken Run... Plus, there used to be a Best Cartoon Oscar.
Suicide Squad winning Makeup and Hair Styling , Boss Baby being nominated over Lego Batman. And who said the Oscars didn't make stupid decisions?
Extiction Animation To Be Fair; some of the makeup and hair styling was decent. Not as good as Star Trek Beyond, but still...
They've almost routinely made stupid decisions for Best Animated Feature.
I also don't like the fact that Disney wins 90% of the awards when it comes the the animated feature category
The Oscars make plenty of dumb nominations. But, despite that, I still like having them around. They hand out awards to a lot of venerable films and people as well. This past year, Gary Oldman won best actor, and Sam Rockwell won best supporting actor. They're two of the most versatile actors in Hollywood; they totally deserved to win! I hear a lot of folks saying the "Oscars need to die," but I think they're just overly pessimistic.
Extiction Animation I'm more upset about the great films like Silent Voice and Your Name weren't even nominated as they are just far much better films than the friggin boss baby.
Pheonyx Jay and don’t forget this corner of the world. That’s a really good one too. No respect to anime at all.
Anyone notice how masterful the NC's editting has become? A nearly 20 min video barely seems like 5 minutes. To be this succinct in reviewing a movie while still hitting all the major points takes absolute skill.
True that.
5:31....A FFFFAAAMMMMIIIILLLLYYYYY PICTURE
BUT WAIT! THERE'S A TWIST!
Boss Baby is ACTUALLY the first Rugrats movie!
No the rugrats movie is
... In years.
Laugh my ass off!!! By the way, Rugrats already has 3 films including the crossover of Wild Thornberries.
Mr. Friendship hell those movies are better than this.
Why would ypu Associate Rugrats with this garbage?
At first I was annoyed that the "nostalgia" critic wasn't reviewing anything nostalgic but then I realized in ten years this video will be nostalgic lol
He only does what the fan demands. And they want reviews of new movies.
Cavare Envius yeah, supply and demand, and eventually hes gonna run out of old movies either in general or without running into movies with literally the same concept.
they use to have a ten year cap but when they "relaunched" NC a few years ago they took the cap off
He had stated that nostalgia refers to anything in the past,And meaning by that is if it came out yesterday it can count as nostalgia.Im not saying that its 100% but it does make logical sense.
Al Dakota old movies are created every year. When he started at 2006 a 2004 movie wouldn't be nostalgic, but 2004 movies like the incredibles have a lot of nostalgic value in 2018
but now the real question...
are YOU really wearing a suit?
I see NC wearing diapers and I always wondered about that.
germanvisitor2 he’s a former boss baby, diapers confirm it.
Does it Djent?
He is again in thectv series
C Brock
It just surprised me that THIS got an Oscar nomination and LEGO Batman movie did not for best animation...I've given up on the Oscars
Well, yeah.
And they can at least _pretend_ to give a crap about foreign films
As much as I love Zootopia, and it's commentary, Your Name should've gotten at least a nomination.
That’s because the Academy is racists towards lego people. I heard they call them Blockers which is a racial term for those people
The Only thing that came out of Boss Baby was the memes
But it's bee movie teir memes
....now that doug cracked up....we can ask for a my little pony movie video........
I have seen no Boss Baby memes. That's lower than Bee movie tier, which I see very regularly.
never seen a boss baby meme, must be a normie.
A Normie movie that entertains people with baby humor, the most normie kind of humor, s uppousedly is memed by non-normies? Not buying it.
well when it hits pornhub its all over for this species.
7:25
Lana: Where did you find that grenade!
Archer: On the lampshade!
My favorite lampshading joke
I always like it when Archer does metahumor like that, though my personal favorite will always be the Chekhov Gun.
I like the inconsistency of fantasy and reality; he’s a little kid with apparently few friends so he plays by himself all the time. Fantasy and reality aren’t clearly defined for him so he remembers them together. I was the same way for an embarrassingly long time so this makes total sense to me
No, trouble distinguishing reality from imagination is a mental condition, potentially dangerous too, and as someone who as a child played alone a lot because of home placement, your reason is bullshit, even as a kid reality and imagination are clearly separate, the former is just more vivid and active.
I get where you're coming from but it's still way too exaggerated. This is not an active imagination. This is an acid trip.
I'm just going to assume that the entire movie was Timmy's fantasy while he was waiting for his baby brother to be born. He had difficulty deciphering fantasy and reality as a child which is why he told his daughter that was how he remembered it.
I choose to believe this movie is just a fantasy
8:58: Wait puppies receive MORE love than kitties ?!? Have you been on the Internet ?!?
well the real question is HOW DO THEY HAVE LESS LOVE THAN GOLDFISH FUCKING GOLDFISH
fun fact: here in Brazil, the title of this movie is "o poderoso chefinho" and it's a pun with "o poderoso chefão" that is "the godfather" translated title
King Crimson how do you work?
Brazil is great
YubYub doo i don't know
Here's my "million" questions:
1. Why is this movie rated PG?
2. How f***ING stupid are the parents?!!
3. They made Alec Baldwin play a creepy baby
4. Why the Lord of The Rings refrences in the movie? Dreamworks should be sued by now
Great questions. But this movie is an excuse to get your kid high on drugs. Because the kid was on drugs during his childhood.
Clumsy ninja respect
Watch this on lsd and you will have over a googleplex amount of questions
Dreamworks: we are going a tv show
Me: Nooooooooooooooooo
Dreamworks: we going a 2nd moive
Me: Nooooooooooooo
Dreamworks: we are going a reboot of live acton the boss baby 2030
what was the lord of the ring refrences
I have a feeling this movie started off as a bet and kinda snowballed downhill from there.
It was nice of them to make a movie about Mike Michaud.
Moonbeam HI-YOOOOOOOOOO.
gotem
Lmao
How? There's not one scene of the baby playing Call of Duty.
Or of the baby cornering female producers to bring them to tears.
“Are you the baby Jesus?” “Yes I’m the baby Jesus.”
Welp I’m now an atheist
Same if that is what Jesus looks like. Ya now I am done and atheist.
That was actually a pretty funny line though. LOL
Ok plot hole? So if babies from baby Corp get fired they turn into dumb babies. Why did Francis Francis remember being a boss then?
MeowOfficer Then if their memories stay intact then every adult and child would remember being there. Or at least remember the sorting machine at the beginning.
MeowOfficer who knows. I have already given this movie more thought than it deserves.
Why did Boss Baby become the kid's brother at the end? I thought he didnt want to be a 'normal' baby :/
grimTales1 because he bonded with Templeton. I guess he decided he didn't want what he thought he wanted. Why have the "high chair" when you can have family?
Why is the Boss Baby an adult person at the end.
Oh god, not another movie where Alec Baldwin plays himself.
Don’t do drugs kids, this movie is the result
Yes and also trolls
Man, you're not ready for Yellow Submarine, trust me haha
NO DRUGS = NO PENNYWISE
Stephen king was very high when he wrote the book 😊
Alec Baldwin would make a great Joker
Alec Baldwin is a great joker already
He's way too old and out of shape now, but funnily enough he was offered the role of Thomas Wayne in Joker.
@@lewisfraser4153 Wish he would’ve gotten it. He can also play a creep so well, and Thomas Wayne was a scumbag.
“Suck it”
“It’s where it will take you”
“You’ll find out where babies really come from”
Um... this is a kids movie, right?
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
You know, for kids!
Soooooooo what happened to the bady that was in his mom's belly ? There's so many questions that needs to be answered.
兵士Cloud why does he talk?
兵士Cloud miscarriage
Thanos took care of it
I don't think the baby really came from the boss baby land. I think thats supposed to be what the kid made up to explain it, and all this happens in the imaginary world. Still, there is no clear boundary between this world and the real one, making the plot confusing, and there are a lot of other inconsistencies that can't be explained, for example the puppy factory which makes no sense in any way shape or form
The movie is fantasy meets reality so they had to have normal stuff
As soon as I heard it was nominated, I felt physically sick. This is the same company that did Prince of Egypt, How to Train Your Dragon, and Rise of the Guardians. What the hell, Dreamworks! You had reached competing levels with Disney! And now you've taken a HUGE step backwards!!!
The problem with them is that their inconsistent, they'll put out something amazing then the next will be not so good.
RedfurredPikachu yeah, it's just they seemed to be on a hot streak and then....oh well. It happens. Not everything is pure gold. But it just bums me out.
They pulled back on their more epic, artistic and overall expensive movies because they were in a financial pickle. At least Captain Underpants ended up being excellent.
Yeah, I remember watching "Rise of the Guardians" and thinking, "This was well done. I wonder what DreamWorks will make next!" Their next movie was "Turbo".
Actually, their next was The Croods. Turbo came after that.
Wait somebody made a movie about Mike Michaud?
I think this review is Doug's cry for help
Somebody is desperate for attention
Old news mate! Besides most of us are here to watch NC, and couldn't care less about what goes on behind the scenes.
Your are a piece of shit...........arent you^^
wezite1983 That's a good sheep. Back in line with you.
boss baby dies in infinity war
edit: dont press read more if you havent seen I.W.
ScatterBrained "Templeton, I don't feel so good."
We can only hope. This and the emoji movie!
Thank God!
As well as Black pather, spiderman, vision, loki, all of the Guardian of the galaxy expect rocket, winter solider.
As much as I love the concept of a imaginative protagonist, I think I'll stick to Rugrats. That show pulled off the whole baby and imagination angles better than this movie... even in its final seasons.
Zany Raccoon It is kind of fun in this movie, though, provided you assume the reality is closer to actual reality.
OMG and the Rugrats movies were iconic to be honest,and in every single one of them the writing was phenomenal, we should make Doug sit through each season like Adventure Time and do V-Logs on them :) like I'd actually cry from happiness
Boss Baby is the Bee Movie of the 2010s
Spyro so you like jazz
They are amazing animes.
So your saying that Alec Baldwin is today‘s Jerry Seinfeld?
Fuck no. Bee Movie was way funnier than this dreck.
Honestly The Bee Movie is actually stupidly enjoying, this is just really confusingly dumb and unenjoyable
You know, Alec Baldwin was also the voice of Makunga in Madagascar: escape 2 Africa. He voiced the villain of my favorite DreamWorks movie and the hero of my most hated DreamWorks movie. I can't help but feel that's symbolic.
Legoking 616 He was also the voice of North in Rise of the Guardians where he provided a much better vocal performance especially since he put on a Russian accent, which really distinguished the voice of his character from his natural speaking voice.
@@Lauren_210 I still hear North and I still refuse to believe that's Alec Baldwin himself providing the voice. That is how great of a job he did when voicing that character for that film.
9:46 pause here and look at the box in the background...
so look, they farm puppies.
That’s messed up, but.

I have a four year old daughter, and this dumb, dumb movie actually led to a bonding thing between us. Because of this movie, she started asking me to sing Blackbird to her, and now it's a song we both sing.
Dumb movie, but I owe it a thank you for this.
Jeremy Carnes not really. I'm pretty sure you showed it to her because it was the one movie that happened to come out that weekend; if it didn't come out you would have showed her another (very likely better) movie leading to the same bonding, albeith in a slightly different context. After all a bonding is not something so weak and superficial that we could consider a movie responsible for it, it surely comes mainly from your interaction.
Boss Baby doesn't deserve anything for just happening to be there in that moment.
Isn't Blackbird a Beatles song?
Just asking. No need to get hostile.
michael rame what’s your problem, dude?
Ah, just as I predicted, as compared to a month and a half ago, the dislikes have dropped down.
So does the audience
Ill9o yeah welcome to TH-cam controversies unless TH-cam itself interferes nothing comes of it
Ill9o yeah, and negative comments are all but gone. People who said this was going to destroy the channel dont know how the internet works, I knew it would be out of fashion in a few weeks.
Well now its basicallly channel Nostalgia Critic instead of channel awesome.
Good news everyone the comment section is clear
Dreamworks will make a Boss Baby show and won’t give me a ROTG show
Brixie Ann Soory but what is ROTG?
otakon17 Rise of the Guardians. It has an Australian Easter Bunny and Russian Santa.
ROTG was a box office flop. Even Mr. Peabody&Sherman apparently did better.
KittenKindness the movie is great. I definitely recommend it
yes make a rise of he guardians show or sequel it was amazing
Pete looks like the dog from Duck Season...
I noticed that too
What if,hes not dead,what if you killed a double,the dog escaped and decided to become something like pogo the clown
I didn't think the movie was THAT bad, to be honest. I mean, it's BAD, but it had a couple of funny moments and it had a likable chemistry between the two main characters. That being said, I HAVE NO FREAKIN' CLUE how this got nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards. Especially with movies like Coco, The Breadwinner and Loving Vincent in the competition.
Yeah. I’ve seen so many worse animated films. This is bad, but probably like a 5/10. At least the animation is appealing. I just think it’s really generic and underwhelming.
it was nominated for best ANIMATED picture, which coco won. it was not nominated for best picture.
From what I understand it has a lot do with a bunch of very interesting but unintentional psychological themes.
GoodMachines It got nominated for Best ANIMATED feature.
Beauty and the Beast, Up & Toy Story 3 are the only animated films animated to be nominated for Best Picture
GoodMachines it also got an ongoing Netflix series...
Of all the anime movies they could've chosen for best animated picture...
Also, what is it with some people and baby ass? No thank you!
Whats worse is that if you watch the netflix show (yes.... i sat through that shit), you'd think that the writers of the show absolutely HATED babies and are trying to convince themselves that babies are a good thing.
One of my main problems with this movie was that almost the entire thing didn't happen. Like, they put all this effort into this plot and then right at the end they're all "lol jk none of that happened it was all in the main character's head and when the baby actually arrived everything was chill". Idk I just hate those kinda movies, unless they can somehow do it well like attaching it to a good message, which this movie didn't do imo.
The part of the movie I liked the most was the Elvis gag, I actually found that pretty funny.
queenalienor Same here

This movie gets nominated for an Oscar
The Lego Batman Movie, Captain Underpants, Cars 3, My Little Pony The Movie, The Lego Ninjago Movie, Smurfs The Lost Village, even Despicable Me 3 were all better films
Koe no Katachi wasn't nominated for the Oscar
The Boss Baby was
Pedro Bacellar Koe was shit 🏄♂️
Chiba Well if you think that
I guess that doesn't change anything -_-
'cept it wasn't
I watched the ANNIES this year and don't remember that being brought up or nominated for anything. I remember Mary and the Witch's Flower, the French movie about the fox, and a lot of others but not Koe No Katachi.
It's a shame.because it was a good movie. But a fantasy anime but a more slice of life and a story I don't think people see or think about. A bully's redemption. But if Oscar's don't care why should you. Your home library of movies is your to make and give the time and care if great work.
Thank god this film never got the Oscar. It should never have even been nominated in the first place.
Steven Choza it was nominated only because they had to fill out the spots.
Dennis Reyes
Which could’ve been filled with better films. I know of at least a couple of anime films that should’ve been nominated instead.
It should have never existed in the first place.
I found this movie to be enjoyably stupid. But still stupid.
I call it "Stewie Griffin: The Movie".
So, it's sorta 'so bad, it's good'?
Basically, yeah. I think it would've been less stupid if it were a short film that was mostly just consisting of the first part of the movie and were meant to be a sort of metaphor for how new babies kind of "boss" people around, but apparently someone decided "Nah, this needs to be feature length picture and have a plot about babies vs. puppies".
What? Family Guy? That show hasn't been all that great lately (though I will admit that Stewie will always be the best part of it).
Don't disrespect family guy with this peace of shit from DreamWorks
Family Guy doesn't really deserve respect anymore. Also, you spelled "piece" wrong. "Peace" is a different word entirely.
The real Boss Baby is in YuYu Hakusho. But he can turn into a sexy teenager when he wants to because everything can in an anime, that's the law.
Rachael Lefler Hey, that is Prince Koenma to you! :P
Anime can sexualize anything, for better or worse... usually for worse...
Crazelord91 Like game consoles in Hyperdimension Neptunia? Is that a good one?
Rachael Lefler The only baby in a suit I'll ever accept is Katekyo Hitman Reborn.
Kinda like that manga, Wish, which involves a little girl angel who can turn into an adult such, same with a demon of the same variety.
The parents hear the “Boss Baby” talk at one point
My question is: which is more cringy, the Boss Baby or the Emoji movie?
BeanBag343 emoji movie
Definitely Emoji movie
Easily Emoji Movie.
Not even a contest
Really? the emoji movie
They didn't earn that Oscar.
They required one.
Or else he comes.
*For all of us.*
Thank God this movie was "pacified" at the Oscars.
"Coco" had it's actors SING AT THE CEREMONY ITSELF, and this movie? *2 seconds* of footage showcased... and that's it.
I mean I don't there there was a question in the world that Coco was going to win.
I'm tempted to believe Dreamworks knew this and adjusted their release schedule at some point to compensate.
It's not a mystery anymore, the Oscars are useless.
Useless, snob and dumb.
Yeah, they had balls to nominate and snob The Lego Batman Movie. >:(
Dominick Angel The Lego Batman movie was way better than it had any right to be. How can a movie about building bricks touch your heart twice? First with the Lego Movie and then with Batman. I agree with you all the way sir.
*COOKIES ARE FOR CLOSERS*
(eats cookie) Sorry, you were saying?
Blake Brown coffees are for closers only
I get that reference!
It was the best part of that entire movie.
The rest was a descent into mediocrity where instead of working their ass off and getting ahead, they resorted to sneaky shit.
Alec Baldwin saying "Yes I am the baby Jesus" is just priceless
Eternal Carnage Lol
You know, Alan Moore predicted that with the growth of information and the spread of technology, by 2017 we'd finally be forced to accept dramatic widespread social change. That by then we'd have a grasp of both the material and immaterial aspects of the world around us and we'd be ready to reach a state of social enlightenment fueled by the culmination of thousands of years of knowledge allowing us to understand the universe itself on more of a fundamental level than ever before.
.... Bet he didn't expect the fucking Boss Baby to be nominated as an Oscar after that point!
I think Freakazoid predicted the internet better than him honestly. Just think about it, a pop culture spewing, meme thinking moron. It was merely a matter of time before the mainstream became its own meta.
Don’t worry the Netflix spin off sires make even less sense.
sans well I mean- *remember the first antagonist* your right.... your so right
The virus wants to know your location
Kwerkz Tv true
@Olivia 757 poor bats.
I like the tv show more.
Why was this a thing that needed to exist?
King Edward "Longshanks" I, Hammer of the Scots, Lord of Wales and King of England beacuse ( sniffs ) LIBERALS
the NC or the B O O S S BABY?
both?
MONEY!!!🤑🤑🤑
Why does anything need to exist?
*FREEEEEDOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*
Why do you do this to yourself, Doug? I love you, but I hate to see you suffer
We all have had dirty jobs....
Opera Falcon true. I'm surprised he hasn't snapped yet
VoiceofGrima 117 lol what?
VoiceofGrima 117 same here!!
VoiceofGrima 117 have you seen food fight, son of the mask, and Master of Disguise XD
Honestly, this movie wouldn't have worked as well if it wasn't for Alec Baldwin.
As much as there's so much bad in the movie, I kinda admire its ending. It's cliched, of course, but it gives a really nice visual on loving a sibling.
Though I really hate how incredibly inconsistent this movie is. I saw it on Netflix myself, but I didn't have as many questions as NC did.
I didn't even hate that the movie was inconsistent. I was already expecting it to do what it did because I saw the Cinema Snobs "Midnight Screenings" review of it.
NC is sometimes over analytical and critical.
WHO THE FUCK IS ALEC BALDWIN?
Troll 101, he's a winner who's going bald. Duh.
You know you watch too much Nostalgia Critic when you know when the commercial is gonna happen
I have literally never been this early. So this is how the comment section looks without hate comments.
Glad you got a look at it while it lasted 😒
Trust me, you don't wanna be early too often. It's always filled with the same same worn out jokes and first comments
13:58

I just imagine that as a into the spiderverse intro “Alright lets do this one last time my names Peter Parker I was bitten by a radioactive spider...”
The Boss Baby: An Analysis of Childhood Depression
So, despite it being the opening night (well, at least when I saw it, now it is April fools), this was my second screening of The Boss Baby. I had saw it before at an advanced screening, and didn't anticipate seeing it again. At least, in theaters.
Let me just say now, it started off as a joke. I was joking about just how much money this movie was shamefully gonna make, and kidded about seeing it again. But as it turns out, my friend wasn't kidding. He actually wanted to go see the piece of shit.
I was hesitated, but sure, why the fuck not?
As for actual criticism, I did catch one thing, and that was the 3D effects in this movie are actually pretty great. If you love seeing depth and things fly out at you in 3D, The Boss Baby is a treat for that. I didn't catch these things upon my first viewing, as I saw the film in 2D. So if you somehow find yourself watching this movie, do yourself a favor and maybe you'll enjoy seeing the 3D. Maybe also get shitfaced to shit so you can actually enjoy this movie. Lots of movie theaters serve alcohol nowadays anyway.
So that's it for actual criticism, and for the rest of this review, I would like to encourage a fan theory. I would have mentioned all of this in my first viewing, but I'd figured it'd be stretching it, considering how absurd it sounds. But having sat through this shit again, I can't help but mention it. If you wanna call bullshit out on me, go right a fucking head. I don't even think you'll see this movie you little shit. Let alone fucking two times in a week.
The Boss Baby, as dumb as it may appear on the surface, is a massive metaphor for childhood loneliness and depression.
Let that sentence sink in. Now I know what you're thinking: how the fuck did you get to that conclusion? Well, as Anakin would put it, 'This is where the fun begins.'.
So the first five minutes of this movie is Tim and his imagination, playing outside and having fun on many misadventures. Though as the narrator (somehow played by Tobey Maguire... c'mon Tobey, you can do better...) puts it, many things happened in his childhood, and despite the wackiness of it all, it was just the way he remembered it. Remember that for later. These misadventures include searching the congo, being eaten by a shark but miraculously making it out alive, going on a crashing space ship, you get the idea. The movie makes a great point of making this all seem like Tim's imagination. Another thing is that all of this also involve his parents playing with him, which the movie makes obvious.
Now comes a scene where it is bedtime, and his parents ask Tim for a new baby brother, to which Tim rudely declines, and often wishes it would be the three of them forever.
So it comes as a surprise that Tim's little baby brother, who shows up in a taxi and a suit appears, despite his opinion on the subject. Did his parents really not give a shit about the whole thing? Obviously, this can't really be happening.
The thing about The Boss Baby is that it never knows when it goes too far. Obviously, this is a kids' movie, right? So I should be more then able to determine what is grounded and what's not, right? But the movie makes this difficult to see, because as Tim said it, he remembers things differently than how they actually happened.
My theory is that certain things never happened in The Boss Baby, as the movie would like to make you think. Particularly, I don't think the actual Boss Baby actually existed throughout the whole film, and rather, is Tim's escape to find an actual friend after being cooped up by his parents for so long.
The movie also suggests Tim isn't exactly the guy to hang out with at school. As The Boss Baby says, Tim's grades consisted of C's throughout the board, Tim still hangs out with a stuffed animal despite his age, and Tim can't ride his bike without training wheels. This all suggests Tim was really a disappointing figure in his family, despite his parents' supposed love for him, it's obvious that they want a new kid who wouldn't begin in life in such a weak manner.
But I'm getting off track. So yes, The Boss Baby only exists so Tim can actually have some sort of friend to play with, despite The Boss Baby being an imaginary figure.
Now as the movie clearly demonstrates, The Boss Baby and Tim don't exactly get along. But still, his parents are busy with this supposed baby, and aren't around for Tim nearly as much. These scenes are difficult, as we can't exactly know what is true and what isn't. In an attempt to defend my point, I'd say most scenes with the parents and the Baby are made up. Though I do believe the scene where his parents are so tired (for all sake and purposes, we'll say they're tired for work, since the upcoming convention has proved to be a stressful deal for them) is indeed, non-fiction. This helps the idea that Tim really was alone, no longer receiving bedtime love, stories, or songs. Tim easily goes in the day alone, but at night is the time where he needs his parents the most, but as shown, they aren't there for him.
I'm probably skimping over a few details here and there in this review, so I apologize in advance. Leave a comment should you have a question about this theory.
Anywho, there's a scene in which the guest babies are in Tim's parents house. The obvious reason for this is that Tim's parents are considering the new baby, and thus, bring along some co-workers to discuss the matter in the kitchen. Thinking the Boss Baby is real, Tim spies on the babies. But in a conflict with the Boss Baby, Tim must defend a tape from the babies.
Now this causes a scene that's pretty crazy. There's an explosion, a broken fence, weapons, and all kinds of stuff all in Tim's backyard. The more comical elements of the situation are fake. But what is real is the, for lack of a better word, abuse, of the babies. As said earlier, Tim is just a lonely boy who wants a friend, and the fact that he has some in his own living room really makes for something existing for Tim. However, as this is the first time he has played with anybody but his parents, let alone a small child, causes some slightly violent situations. Tim is reckless throughout the scene, and the babies end up crying for his mad behavior. This also causes Tim to be grounded by his parents, to which Tim pleads that the baby can talk. But his parents have none of that shit in mind.
So more things happen, as the pet convention comes up rapidly. Now here is where things get a little murky for my liking, but I'll do my best to defend my points.
As the movie leads you to believe, the parents are impressed by Tim's new fonded chemistry with the Boss Baby, and thus, bring him along to bring your kid to work day. Using my own set of skills, I have reason to believe the work day existed, but only certain elements of it. Once again, the parents say they can bring the baby along, but this is a fragment of Tim's head.
They head to the actual work day, as his parents apologize for not being around to play with Tim often, so they ask Tim if he wants some exclusive time to play around. However, Tim declines, in favor of going around the convention alone (well, with the baby). So his parents let him do so.
A lot of what happens in this scene is fairly fake, as Tim and the Baby go through trap doors, security guards, and other shenanigans. I would detail every single thing, but unfortunately, I don't have the exact movie memorized, so I do apologize. Maybe I'll revisit all of this when the movie comes out on Blu-Ray.
And who, the final conclusion is that instead of leaving behind one of the parents, both parents go to Vegas instead, leaving behind Tim with a babysitter. As Tim says, he has been with many babysitters before, so it's not like this has been the first time his parents have left him alone. Though it's easy to assume this is the first time his parents were expected to be away for so long, given that Tim is anxious about the entire situation.
So, the babysitter is put into a trap by Tim (and the Boss Baby would lead you to believe) and he runs off to go to the airport in an attempt to save his parents. More shenanigans ensue, mostly fake, as he is left alone in an airport with the Boss Baby. The thing is, is that Tim blames most of this on The Boss Baby, and so, The Boss Baby gets sick of his attitude to the point where he leaves Tim alone in the airport. Tim weaps alone in the airport, to himself singing Black Bird by the Beatles. As I failed to mention, the song was played previously by his parents before he went to sleep. By singing the song to himself is a symbolic reference to his attempt to find happiness. As well as to remind him of his only true friend, his parents. This scene is indeed real, even if the means of him getting to the airport was rather comical.
This scene also helps makes obvious the fact that The Boss Baby indeed doesn't exist. Surely, a baby going around an airport alone in a suit would clearly drive some attention, potentially to the point of calling CPS in an attempt to find the baby. But obviously, The Boss Baby comes back later to 'save' Tim and find his parents by going aboard a plane without tickets. From this scene all the way to the beginning of the end, is all mostly fake, as they aboard first class without parents or tickets, get in a limo without cash, aboard a pirate ship (obviously, this was a less grounded scene in the film), almost fall into a boiling pool of... a liquid. It's supposed to be the eternal baby shit, but you know, and also, save his parents by allowing a puppy factory to go hay wire.
To make things easier, we can presume the baby sitter caught up to the airport, found Tim, and brought him home. The movie also never presents the means of how his parents, Tim, and the baby go home. Instead, they cut to the house like nothing happened, more or less.
The Boss Baby finally leaves Tim, as his parents forget the whole situation never happened. A clear red flag that none of it happened. Plus, even if it did, you'd figured, somebody else would know about it, such as the co-workers, or even the babies of the co-workers. I suppose the baby workers could also erase the minds of them, but presuming the baby did actually go to Vegas and work, how many minds would have to be erased at that point? Not to mention, perfectly finding times for those people to be a sleep to wipe their memories. It just seems excessive to me.
Tim is now alone again, as he writes a letter to the Boss Baby to bring him back. Another red flag here. The address is only labeled as BabyCorp, and so for a regular mailman who probably grew up as any other human being, he would have no fucking clue where to send it. The only way could possibly be if somehow objects also transcended with people into the baby world. Remember, the way to teleport to the baby world is by sucking a pacifier rapidly. And I just can't see how other objects get in, without the object also becoming one with the baby world. Maybe I'm just fucking crazy and thinking about this way too hard. Honestly, if you're somehow still reading this, hats off to you, but go find a life man. You'll find some enjoyment anywhere but here.
Anywho, one way or another, a new baby is in Tim's house, one who looks just like The Boss Baby. Tim is excited to have the 'Boss Baby' back, even in actual human form. But here's the dark part for me, that I feel would go over most of the audience member's head.
Obviously, this new baby, despite looking like The Boss Baby, isn't actually the Boss Baby. He can't talk, he can't walk, nada. So Tim, whether he realizes it or not, actually has to rebuild his entire relationship with this new baby, as the baby's memory was completely wiped of Tim, presumably at least. And even if the baby still remembered Tim, there would be no way to communicate that, considering he's an actual baby now, one or must learn to walk, talk and write all over again. So while Tim has succeeded in getting a new friend, or family member at least, it caused the removal of one of his previous friends at that cost.
IF YOU DON'T WANNA READ THIS SHIT JUST READ THIS M8:
I have no fucking clue if I'm making sense or not. I hope to god I am. Maybe someone else had this wacky ass fucking theory. But man, with these concepts in your head, really fuck up your viewing of this movie, with plot holes or not. I almost cried at the end of this movie upon my first screening for some of the reasons here. That's something Inside Out couldn't even do. Okay, I'm lying, I almost cried in that one too, but still. All I can say at this point is, until I can debunk my own theory (which would require another viewing of the movie, which I sure as hell ain't doing anytime soon), I'm gonna spread these ideas like wildfire, or at least try to. I have no fucking clue if this will get any attention or not. If it does, good, if not, I shall keep these ideas to myself. So grab a beer, or smoke a bowl, whatever your choosing, buy a 3D ticket, and see for yourself what the fuck is actually going on in this movie.
Also, like I said, if you somehow sat through this whole review, I don't know what to say to you. Thanks, I guess?
Saw this on reddit
This seems so fun to read! I love dark theories or different perspectives on stuff!
Yet another interview that doesn't point out the vault monster sized plot hole of the villain's motivation.
If being lactose intolerant made him not a baby anymore then why did him falling in a vat of that same formula suddenly make him young.
Also the puppies were still sold just not distributed by rocket.
The puppies didn't disappear.
They still have receipts so UPS could just deliver them.
So boss babys plan still failed.
You just made my whole day better uploading this awesome video.
alieninvaider Hello, fellow Final Space fan!
asiabrown99 hello. Who’s your favorite character(s) so far?
alieninvaider I'm gonna say Gary. He relates to me in a way.
asiabrown99 I like all of them so far. I even cried at the end of season one.
Did you forget about the controversy?
5:11 That... aged... interestingly.
Why is Boss Baby reminding me of Fran Bow?
Their concept of reality is the same, WHAT THE HELL, BOSS BABY!?
Superpenguin I consider this the most crappiest movie ever...
Puts every other awesome kids' movies to shame!!
Omg I never realized how the boss baby reminded me of Fran bow o..O
So I guess no one changed the channel. That blew over fast.
TH-cam drama brings us closer to TV format. The story fulfilled its pourpose and now you're cought up in some other bullshit
Well considering everyone left on the site, I'd say it changed in a way.
Angry Joe left CA. Their largest channel gone....
Listener Canon yeah all the garbage channel left saving them Money
Can we move? I stopped letting ads play weeks ago
The fact that THIS got nominated for an Oscar instead of _Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie_ or _The LEGO Batman Movie_ is a goddamn *_CRIME!_*
Jackie McCann It would be a crime if Captain Underpants, a movie about a two kids turning their principal into some half-naked hero from their imagination just because they didn't like him, got nominated at all. It may have sounded funny on paper ( in this case, it probably was) but, it was a totally different beast as a movie.
Which is why clearly everyone hated it. I haven't seen it yet but as I understand it the average view of Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie is that it's as good an adaption of the book as you could get and that it actually has some laughs and good comedic timing. It's a movie that knows it wants to be pure comedy and embraces it. Boss Baby doesn't know if it wants to be a comedy or be a story about a kid using his imagination to deal with the fact that he's getting a baby brother. It's tone is confused, and despite that it got an oscar nomination over The LEGO Batman Movie, arguably a much better film than either Boss Baby or Captain Underpants.
8:52 my real issue with this scene is that Tim knows to to 🤬 at the age of 7 or how he could explain it in just 3 seconds
Who thinks Storks is a better movie than this and The Emoji Movie put together? (I certainly find it enjoyable than this 😑)
11:45 ...was he even born to begin with?
6:36
Hold up a second
They're having either babies or adopting puppies
They're not either fucking babies or puppies
The crazy part is this movie make 527 million dollars according to Box Office Mojo 😩
gokusondbz In a world where a lot of movies make upwards of $800 million, that's not surprising.
an abomination to cinema
just the way we love it
I cound’t agree more.
I thougth his veredict was to kind
An abomination of ASS- Ness.
TheCreepypro no, that's the emoji movie, THIS movie is slightly above the emoji movie
The dragon critic will be proud of your opinion.
Everyday we stay further from Zen-Oh sama's light
Weeb
Maybe if we're lucky he'll erase us.
Ace Ambling Sorry I'm a follow of the true god One above All. Only heretics worship that low life.
Ace Ambling all hail to the omni king
Just be glad he didn't erase us!
THEY GOT SPIDER-MAN IN THIS MOVIE?
2:34 LITERALLY THE BEST PART IN THE REVIEW!!!
Question: What was that!?
Answer: The movie version of LSD.
Interesting...this video was uploaded on my birthday, but more importantly:
14:40 This diagramm is unrealistic. Fish and birds together have more shares than cats...or anything having actually more shares than cats/kittens...this shows that there is no reality to this story
TheTrueLeafless no reality to the story involving an infant-adult boss character? The audacity!!
I meant the story inside the story...but yeah...
now lets see him review the netflix series of it
Or Netflix Death Note
turtleboyjohnny and The Boss Baby 2 when it gets released
That would only guarantee him a seizure
turtleboyjohnny wait What?
turtleboyjohnny that exists?
We are doing Boss Baby now huh? You know what that means....
*REVIEW "YOUR NAME"!!*
I would love that, but I doubt it will happen, since "Your name" is actually a good movie and he reviews mostly bad ones. That and the few good movies he reviews usually fit in the nostalgia theme, so...
TopHatCat then a silent voice
NeoChronoid, scenario of Kimi No Na Wa is a trainwreck. (How come the main guy didn't notice he's in another timeline, etc). Romance isn't really engaging because characters are one-dimentional. You don't really know about them anything, neither their past, nor their goals.I don't really get why people so hyped about this movie. Guess they didn't see a really good piece of Japanese animation.
YES!
I've been watching anime since 98, thank you and I liked this movie. Story-telling on an emotional perspective instead of a logical one can work just fine and that's what Shinkai does.
14:21 same here Doug
Everyone forgot about “guess who’s talking”
Self-Esteem LOOK Who's Talking
