This part was made for Tyrese, and I thought Snoop character was so funny, even though he was not suppose to be.

Not as memorable as Boyz in the Hood, but there is some truth in it. Provides some insight into the mind of someone not quite a man, but not quite a boy either, and the stages of life. Worth a look.

Not a cliche like i thought it would be at first but still it falls far from what i consider a good film. Maybe cause Tyresse had no emotion what so ever but yet he still find roles in Hollywood!!?? Serious, watching Omar Gooding was probably the only good thing about this aside from Ving Rhames. Another lead and this movie could have been something special.

I'm not a very big fan of Snoop Dog, and Jody's girlfriend - the one with the son - is a really bad actress, in my opinion. Although, those two annoy the crap out of me, the rest of the movie is very good and one of my many favorites.

..A worthy companion piece to 1991's Boyz N the Hood, John Singleton's Baby Boy expresses compassionate but unforgiving criticism of young, African American black men who lead reckless, ir...( read more )responsible lives while blithely blaming racism for their chronic disadvantage. That's already enough to make this a provocative and emotionally challenging film, but Singleton injects his drama with such passionate vitality that it never seems inflammatory; instead, in presenting this portrait of a confused and conflicted 20-year-old black man named Jody (Tyrese Gibson), Singleton is both affectionate and accusatory, lending Baby Boy an edgy, timeless wisdom that other, less courageous films could never hope to offer.
Unemployed and living with his 36-year-old mother (A.J. Johnson), Jody has fathered children from two young mothers and seems destined for an early grave. He never knew his father, but his mother's new boyfriend Melvin (played to perfection by Ving Rhames) is an ex-con with streetwise maturity that Jody, in time, will come to recognize and respect. This generational dynamic is the lifeblood of Singleton's central theme; Jody can follow Melvin's example or fall into the trap of lawlessness personified by Rodney (Snoop Dogg), a violent gangsta who arrives to threaten Jody's tenuous chance at a respectable adulthood. Through a wealth of fine performances and blistering dialogue, Baby Boy presents hard questions with no easy answers, and although Singleton is prone to polemical melodrama, his blunt approach serves a noble and ultimately hopeful purpose. --Jeff Shannon .
