The performances are good in this film. The script however needs a rewrite. The movie starts off really well but becomes repetitive and finally falls apart in the final third. Overall this film is disappointing.

Singleton's Baby Boy is a deconstruction of the kind of protagonists, young urban black men, that populate other classic "hood" films including his own Boyz N The Hood.
Also, to my fellow commenters, this film doesn't represent all black people. Obviously.

A mostly pathetic look at black culture. Their relationships consist of foul and disgusting language and violent abusive behavior. A sad commentary full of stereotypes, selfishness, stupidity and disrespect. The religious aspects were ironic. People might say this is street, a raw look at real life, but if this resembles your life, you would be wise to find a new one. This was a chore to watch to the end. It's torturous, boring, stupid, childish, violent and predictable.

Singleton grabs the young African-American man by the shirtfront, and gives him a good shake: "Grow up! Take responsibility! Be a man!" The case-in-point narrative is short on development, long on naturalistic detail -- long on invective and expletive -- long on attitude and brutality -- just plain long.

John Singleton bragged in interviews when _Boyz N The Hood_ was big, "I'm a writer first, I just direct to protect my vision." This movie shows that he's already out of ideas. No wonder Mr. New Black Cinema is taking work like directing _2 Fast 2 Furious_ *guffaw*
