THE BOSS BABY 3D

Watchable. Worse than the trailer. The first 42 minutes look like created by someone childless by choice. The knackered father answering a slice of pizza when the phone rings is funny, the rest shows how nasty and disgusting babies are and how parents coo over them no matter what, it also makes fun of the mania of taking children's pictures. Later, however, you are made believe that babies are cute and little brothers and sisters adorable. The 3D is very good, with the rides looking realistic. One scene after the main credits and one more after the whole long payroll. Both scenes are fun but not a must.

MALY JAKUB (LITTLE JACOB)

Watchable. An adult man meets his child alter ego which makes him face his childhood nightmares. It's painfully slow, disturbing at times, partly clear, partly ambiguous. It shows why the guy takes decisions instead of communicating. That clearly comes from his disturbed childhood. Of course you feel sorry for the kid, at least when you know why, because I completely didn't get the orphanage part.
