YMMV / The Boss Baby: Family Business

• Awesome Music:
  • Tim and Tabitha's cover of "If You Want to Sing Out, Sing Out" is incredibly beautiful, and also counts as a heartwarming moment.
  • Snippets of "The Time Warp" from The Rocky Horror Picture Show plays when Tim and Ted go through their de-aging sequence.
• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: Tim and Tabitha’s “If You Want to Sing Out” sequence. As sweet as it is, it’s totally unexpected, deviates from the film’s animation style, and inexplicably cures Tabitha’s tone deafness.
• Broken Base: Jeff Goldblum as Dr. Armstrong. Some people who like Jeff Goldblum are glad to see him in a voice acting role since he only seldomly does them, but a lot of people thought he was miscast due to his signature voice not fitting a character as over-the-top as Armstrong, resulting in a lot of Dull Surprise deliveries.
• Heartwarming Moments: Armstrong abandoning his plans for world domination to return to his regular life as a baby. The film ends with his parents elated to see him again and embracing him.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: James Marsden immediately goes from having trouble getting along with a pony to being a sheriff (a job all about handling trouble) pony himself who's afraid of other pony species in his very next film and is also a main character. To add on to the coincidences, the previous My Little Pony movie came out the exact same year as the original Boss Baby film.
• Nausea Fuel: Precious the pony licking Ted Jr.'s face after he's turned back into a baby. Tim is naturally grossed out by this.
• Tear Jerker: Tabitha breaking down at the end of her school play when she doesn't see her father in the audience after he promised to be there. Of course, at this point, she doesn't realise her father and uncle have been caught by Dr. Armstrong and he's trying to drown them.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: The first act establishes that Tabitha is highly intelligent and gifted but, due partially to the competitiveness of her new school, is drifting away from her father and being fast-tracked out of her childhood. The film could have explored how Tim learns to foster Tabitha's giftedness while also making sure she doesn't grow up too fast, but this is abandoned in favor of a typical "stop-the-villain-bent-on-world-domination" plot.
