Summary: Don't Watch It, You've Probably Already Seen It Before
Review: Once again a movie is made feasting on the sterotypes and ignorance of entertainment-fueled perceived Black Culture in america. In this movie, you'll hear the same racial slurring, over-used fowl language, and raunchy "thug" sex that you've probably seen in the last 2 or 300 "gangsta" movies. No surprises there. How's storyline and plot? Weak, bland, dry, etc. The movie provokes no real interest whatsoever, and i found myself waiting so long for the actual movie to "rev up", that before i knew it, it was over entirely. The movie has no point to it at all and is filled with scene after scene of endless sterotyping as to what "the black man" in america is. It's almost as if the director *attempted* to get every single element of thug-movie trash in there that he could. Put bluntly, this movie can almost appear as a white persons ignorant and improperly influenced attempt to portay black people. The sad part about that is african americans themselves are putting out movies like this, capitalizing on the image, and in effect *contributing* to racism.Watch this if you want to be impressed by the excellent efforts of Tyrese, Snoop Dogg, and Ving Rames to save an otherwise flawed movie. Don't watch it if your mind is a little deeper than the surface of what's enjoyable to watch.

Summary: one of the most underrated films of the year
Review: Is it just me or was this one of the worst ad campaigns ever for an intelligent film that boasts not only Singleton's best character work to date, but two of the best female performances I've seen all year? Adrienne-Joi Johnson and Taraji P. Henson are simply amazing to watch. Of course, Ving Rhames is great although his later scenes are better than his initial ones. Tyrese is fine, no pun intended; some of my friends didn't want to see it because of him. Once they saw it, most of them said they were surprised he did so well. It's a tricky role to play but he pulls it off. A great movie, one of my favorites this year.

Summary: Realistic..
Review: This movie reminded me of a few relationships, and all my girls related to this movie also. We all agreed that most men in our life reminded us of one of the male characters in the movie. I could not help but to watch the movie 5 times in 5 days. The relationship that Jody and Yvette had was true to the dialogue of what is said in most relationships in the hood. Anyone who has or have had a slacker or a thug in their life will relate.

Summary: Just what we don't need
Review: John Singleton is a gifted director. Unfortunately, I think he put a black eye in the gang with this film. Baby Boy is a portrayal of young black america that is not needed. You have a manchild who can't seem to ween himself from his mother. His girlfriend, who for all intents and purposes is a whiny & clingy, seems to be very smart but can't seem to get over her baby's daddy. Snoop's character who has no love for those, including Tyrese's girlfriend (who he comes to live off of after he gets out of prison). Jody's (Tyrese's character) mom seems to be comfortable with a man who has a shady past growin' reefer in her backyard. I am sure some viewers are going to say, "That's just the way things are." and Singleton is just portraying it as it is. Maybe so but aren't you tired of seeing black relationships portrayed in the worst light possible? While I don't suggest Mr. Singleton give us the Huxatables, may I suggest a much more positive characters than a young man in his early 20s riding around on a bike w/no job, pouting around his mama and making babies he can't take care of or black females who seem to be very smart but will take anything from a man just to have a relationship?

Summary: Willie Lynch Revised
Review: What point was John Singleton attempting to make in his movie Baby Boy?
As an African American, I was appalled by the extremely foul language that was spoken as commonplace in the movie. It seemed that the funding must have come from White America because the negative stereotypical depiction of African Americans was overwhelmingly represented in the movie. If John wanted to do a porn movie then he should have used another avenue. What was the purpose for all of the sex scenes. What about the complexity of single parenthood and the chain reaction of out-of-wedlock marriages. John, please don't continue to insult us as a people or don't you realize that all African Americans don't live like thug lovin, underemployed or unemployed,drinking,smoking, sex-only driven, ex-convicts who lack effective parenting skills.

Summary: This movie has started my boycott of some Black films.
Review: I was warned but did not listen. I have tried so HARD to support Black movies. After seeing this one on video, I can honestly say I plan to join my other Black friends in boycotting predominantly Black movies. There's a cynical saying, something like: There's only one thing worst than a white supremacist's propaganda on Blacks. And that is an ignorant money-hungry Negro explaining Black life. This movie holds some truths. But there's too much Boyz in the Hood here. Too much unneccessary overkill on the sex and violence. The boys/men are animalist fornicators. And the girls/women are mindless servants to them. So for me this is it. Any movie/tv production associated with the names of Taye Diggs, Morris Chestnut, Singleton, Spike Lee, Vivica Fox, Tisha Campbell, Martin Lawrence, etc. will NEVER again have my moral/financial support. I will be encouraged by real actors in real movies such as Denzel Washington, Samuel L. Jackson, Lawrence Fishburn, Angela Bassett, Vanessa Williams, etc.

Summary: A positive review
Review: Althought Baby Boy doesn't measure up to your typical John Singleton movie,it gives you much to think about. Being young and in a 10-year relationship, I can certainly identify with the story line. It shows how black woman tolerate a lot of unappropriate behavior from our men and end up settling for less than what we deserve. It also shows how we subject our children to this criminal and violent behavior. I think that it is more of a wake up call to the young parents of today, to let them know that they don't have to settle for less and the do deserve more. On another note, if a young black man should get anything out of this movie is to be responsible for himself and his family. Young relationships are constantly being tested and you have to be ready for all of those challanges.
