The movie was entertaining, but I was very uncomfortable with Jody's character; the way he treated his baby-momma, the way she put up with it adn how it all ended. But overall I liked Ving Rhames character 'cause although you knew he had done horrible things when he was young, he was reformed, and likeable yet he still had his streetsmarts.
baby boy is a very good movie.you should see that movie.i know that movie is old but it is still a good movie so if you havent got the chance to watch it yet then go buy it.the movie is still out so buy it............
Melvin: You know what your problem is, baby boy? You got shit all twisted. You got an Oedipus complex. You want your mamma to be your woman, but this is my woman. *My* woman!
the first time I seen this movie it reminded me of my past and how I use to treat girls and how it was wrong and everything and so it helped me to treat weman better then I use to....
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.
this is a good movie also with tyrese gibson and snoop doggy dog its a great storyline he's trying to support his family for becoming a father and he is getting to crime but is a good storyline
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.
Bad ass movie. Ever!!!! My cousin Chuy told me it was the best fucking movie ever and he was right!! My favorite movie of all time, fuck Raging Bull, fuck Godfather, is is the real shit!
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 .
