Boss Baby Leaves You Gushing For More

Dreamwork's "Boss Baby" plays on the jokes that babies are the bosses of the house. "The Boss Baby" explores the changes that occurs in the household once a new baby has arrived. Specifically, in the case where the only child is no longer doted on as all the attention is diverted to the baby. Alec Baldwin voices the suit outfitted boss baby who takes over the house with his arrival. The boss baby and his brother Tim voiced by Tobey Maguire develop an instant rivalry that starts from the former's arrival in the taxi. With this rivalry comes humor and great visuals.

It offers the kid and adult entertainment balance through usage of inside jokes. With "Shrek" I missed a lot of the adult jokes but with "Boss Baby" I was able to get them as I am now an adult. It was great getting the humor whilst seeing it going over the kids head. I think this balance is really what made the movie entertainning and clever for my friends and I. It pokes at the middle management class culture. The humor partenered with the visuals really brought the animation to life. The large-eyes and the pouty mouth twists makes you want to take home the little ones. The only problem is finding out their mission.

The sibling bonding and familial love partnered with the dowey eyes and baby leaves you gushing for more.

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
