Biggest Swing

Sharp drop from the entertaining Baby Corp revelation (7.5) to the tedious middle section (5.1) where multiple reviewers lost interest

The Boss Baby starts strong with Alec Baldwin's hilarious performance and creative world-building, but suffers from a sagging middle section that lost several viewers around the 45-minute mark. While the film recovers with action-packed sequences, an overly sentimental ending prevents it from reaching its early potential.
