This is very far from my small town culture but I enjoyed it very much and liked the characters with all their flaws and humour. And the music.

This movie is the definition of a proper waste of your time ladies and gentlemen. There is no moral of the story basically they're just trying to say women should accept and really embrace the bare minimum in relationships. The level of toxic masculinity is absurd in this movie and tbh it's so sad because in reality this is what actually happens. Her love interest is so entitled, he's a proud serial cheat and a manipulator, and an assaulter while her ex is a rapist a felon and a thug it's crazy the movie is so useless it has no base. Like what's the lesson, what's the whole takeaway in the end. All you'd get from this movie is that ladies stay with your man even though he's toxic and entitled it's better than being with a rapist. Lol.

Movie was pretty good. Just another movie with a bad ending.

It showed how important it is for a man to grow up and make responsible choices. It also put light on women who accept below the bare minimum and allow these men to give no effort.

Much better than I thought it would be, with heart and a real growth in character for a lost young man.

The strongest emotion I felt watching this movie was flabbergasted once the movie reached the 90-minute mark with what felt entirely like exposition as there was a firm lack of crescendo or character arc for any of the characters really. The payoff at the end with Tyrese finally moving out was underplayed after watching him lament for two hours that his mom might kick him out. There were at least half a dozen preachy diatribes from nearly every character wanting to get ghetto-philosophical on him when really none of it was effective, their advice not really coming into play after the guy gets shot. That said, the acting was fantastic, as I had no idea that Ving had that kind of physique nor any idea that Tyrese had this wide of an acting range. Pre-fame Taraji was good to watch, and I wish Omar was more famous than he is after seeing him here. Ebert's notion that this provides a unique point of view into black culture definitely rings true.

It is a great look at the hood in the 2000s its a great cast

Singletons second best film. A cult hood classic

Baby boy is Singletons second best film, because it gives people the reality of living in the hood. It also has a very classic soundtrack that is hard to dislike.

Only saw a few minutes of it on 온라인카지노추천 and you know i’m not much of a drama movie person it was to slow of a movie for me

i relly want to see this movie i love this movie it makes me laught

Tyrese and Vince Rhames star in a film written, produced and directed by John Singleton, Baby Boy. Singleton presents the idea of many young black men are still babies in the fact they won't leave the nest, remain attached to their mothers among a few things. Tyrese is Jody and he has many of these characteristics. He lives at home, and cheats on his girlfriend Yyvette (Taraji P. Henson) that he has a kid with. He does not have much of a job, and spends most of his days drifting. Things are about to change when mother starts dating Melvin (Ving Rhames). Melvin is a man that has gone through it all. Jody is threatened by this and is also afraid that he is going to be kicked out of the house. The two are at constant odds, and his mother tries to keep the peace between the two. His girlfriend gets tired of him cheating on him, but Jody seems to not realize what he has despite some of his best efforts. When a former lover of Yvette comes out of prison (Snoop Dogg) the film escalates and it becomes time to grow up. As a viewer, you feel for Jody and do hope that he begins to group up and make light of his circumstances, but realize it's hard for him to be motivated with the circumstances of his surroundings. Baby Boy features decent characters that keep the movie going. The film's plot seems a bit sparse and is sometimes boring. The performances of Taraji Henson, Rhames and Jody's mother A.J. Johnson are quite good and steal every moment they have on screen. Tyrese does a good enough job for as an actor coming from a music background. Singleton's film is not as powerful or memorable as Boyz N the Hood, but is a solid follow-up, and has some underrated performances. It is by no means a must-see film, but those who enjoy Singleton's films should enjoy this one as well. -1.27.2017

This movie is very good. A lot of the shots are from different angles. The movie also entails points of views from each character. It involves the background of a young African American man named Jody who has not grown up to be a man yet, as his mother so desperately wants him to do. Jody, having two children by two different women, struggles to mature and notice everyone around him wants him to become a man.

Baby Boy is a Los Angeles based movie that follows the coming of age tale of Joseph Summers, also known as Jody, played by Tyrese Gibson. It follows Jody as he deals with the pressures of dealing with his baby and her mom and the fact that he still lives with his mom at the age of 20. Things start to build up as his mom meets a new man and begins a relationship with him living at home starts to take a toll, along with him dealing with other life issues such as finding a job, violence in the streets, and the temptations of cheating. The movie is a very good movie that has a strong narrative and supporting cast such Taraji P. Henson who plays the girlfriend of Jody and the famously known Snoop Dog who plays one of the main antagonist of the movie. I recommend this movie for anyone that wants a movie that has drama, comedy, and even a little action in it.

This was an interesting film. At times it was purely comedic, then at other times there are very meaningful and revealing scenes that show the ties between the difficulties in black relationships and the issues in American society that lead to those difficulties.

Often somewhat limited in vision-scope and character-depth, but fun and somewhat bold creative choices - do help offset the shortcomings.

I really love this movie. Tyrese and Tariji P. Henson was a perfect fit for this film. :)

This will always be a good movie to those who grew up in the hood. ;-)

John Singleton is just amazing.

I recommend this movie to all. if u love tyrese this is a must watch he does the role so well. the cast was great and the performances was great. 3stars because tyrese is oh so FINEð'...
