10 Highest-Grossing Movies Of 2017 (So Far) - Ranked From Worst To Best

8. The Boss Baby

The best animated movies are the ones that have enough bright colors, one-liners and memorable characters to draw in the younger demographic but are also smart and complex enough just below the surface to appeal to adults. The Boss Baby is not one of these movies.

Failing to get the most of an already paper-thin premise despite some decent visuals, this falls firmly into the lower end of Dreamworks Animation's output thanks to a predictable story, tired attempts at humor and an ending that is beyond formulaic.

Of course, because The Boss Baby made $492m worldwide and Dreamworks has a habit of running their franchises into the ground, a sequel is already locked in for March 2021.

I don't do social media, so like or follow me in person but please maintain a safe distance or the authorities will be notified. Don't snap me though, I'll probably break. I was once labelled a misogynist on this very site in a twenty paragraph-long rant for daring to speak ill of the Twilight franchise. I stand by what I said, it's crap.
