15 Most Ridiculous Movies In Development
4. The Boss Baby
Release Date: March 31, 2017
The Pitch: 7-year-old Tim's parents bring home a baby brother, who just so happens to wear a suit and talk like an adult man (Alec Baldwin) because...reasons.
Why It's Ridiculous: The movie's marketing makes no attempt to explain why the baby acts and talks like an adult, which makes it one of the most legitimately compelling cinematic mysteries of the moment. Animation is very welcoming to wackiness, but even so, this is a very special brand of ridiculous.
Will It Be Any Good?: The trailer doesn't seem to suggest so, but perhaps once the concept is clarified as we get closer to the release date, it might actually demonstrate a little more promise. Realistically, though, no.
