It is difficult to think of other films that follow the plight of black urban men and women without adding excessive flourishes. The extra is here, for sure, but Singleton spends more time focusing on the faults and struggles with these characters than he does with their tragedies. Ving Rhames steals each scene he is in with a physical performance like no other.

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*
