While the film has a lot of references to the first film, you can easily follow along in this sequel. Most of all the original main characters are back, and we even get a visit from Tim and Ted\u2019s parents. I really enjoyed that Tom McGrath stays true to the original concept, but adds a new storyline. One of my favorite scenes is when another&nbsp;baby&nbsp;group, \u201cThe Ninja&nbsp;Babies\u201d are chasing Ted. He initially thinks they are cute until they start attacking him. It is pretty funny watching Ted run around screaming. Alec Baldwin nails Ted\u2019s sound effects. Even Amy Sedaris\u2019s squealing as Tina is hilarious and she actually uses this squeal in real life to get people\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The message of this film is that it is important to focus on what matters most &#8211; love and family. Over the years, Ted always put his job and money ahead of his family, but realizes that he will always be lonely if he doesn\u2019t prioritize things. Parents should look out for bad habits some of the&nbsp;babies&nbsp;show and words that sound similar to profanity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The&nbsp;<\/em><em>Boss<\/em><em>&nbsp;<\/em><em>Baby<\/em><em>: The Family Business<\/em>&nbsp;is the perfect movie for families to bond over this summer. I rate this film 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 11 to 18, plus adults.&nbsp;<em>The&nbsp;<\/em><em>Boss<\/em><em>&nbsp;<\/em><em>Baby<\/em><em>: The Family Business<\/em>&nbsp;launches July 2, 2021 in theaters and on Peacock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\u00a0Boss Baby: Family Business\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<br>By Josephine M., KIDS FIRST!

Now both Ted&nbsp;and his older brother, Tim (James Marsden) are adults and they&#8217;ve grown apart. When Uncle Ted&nbsp;drops in for a visit, he learns that his niece, Tina (Amy Sedaris) has the same business-minded, mini-manager drive and spirit as her uncle.&nbsp;Tina gets Tim and Ted to experiment with a new technology that reverts them back to babies for 48 hours. This is when all the excitement starts; the mission reunites the Templeton brothers in unexpected ways, and leads them to re-evaluate what the true meaning of family is as they are reminded what truly matters in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-medium\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"128\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/bossbaby.g.jpg?resize=300%2C128&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/bossbaby.g.jpg?resize=300%2C128&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/bossbaby.g.jpg?w=576&amp;ssl=1 576w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption>(from left) Tim Templeton (James Marsden) and Tina Templeton (Amy Sedaris) in DreamWorks Animation&#8217;s The Boss Baby: Family Business, directed by Tom McGrath.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>My favourite characters are Tabitha (Ariana Greenblatt) and Tina (Amy Sedaris).&nbsp; Ariana Greenblatt plays Tabitha as an intelligent and bright young girl at the top of her class, who is scared to sing in front of a crowd, because she doesn\u2019t want to make a mistake and wants to make her dad proud. When I watched that part of the movie, I wanted to tear up, because it is such a beautiful moment when she sings and gets over her fears. Amy Sedaris\u2019s Tina takes matters into her own hands and acts like the Boss Baby she is, restoring the bond between her dad and uncle. &nbsp;My favourite scene is when the Templeton brothers are stuck in a situation and say, \u201cIt\u2019s lonely at the top; just because you grow up does not mean you grow apart.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The message of this movie is that there is nothing more important than the love of your family and the bond between them; having a family that loves you brings a person such comfort and peace, and helps them to become more confident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I give&nbsp;<em>Boss Baby: Family business 5&nbsp;<\/em>out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 10 to 18, plus adults.&nbsp;This film releases in theatres Friday, July 2, 2021.
