Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, The Boss Baby: Family Business is worth clearing space for. Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate The Boss Baby: Family Business from the crowd. The Templeton brothers — Tim and his Boss Baby little bro Ted — have become adults and drifted away from each other. But a new boss baby with a cutting-edge approach and a can-do attitude is about to bring them together again … and inspire a new family business. The chemistry Alec Baldwin and James Marsden bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. It hit screens in 2021. The Boss Baby: Family Business earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

The Boss Baby: Family Business is the kind of thing you put on in the background and end up fully watching. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. Alec Baldwin sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. A reliable pick for any night you want quality comedy without the homework.
