Snider 3/4 "There's no cuddling this Baby Boy, a profoundly sad commentary on the vicious circle that continues to terminally plague our bewildered, impressionable and disadvantaged young urban black men."   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng B- "Intermittently strong, often darkly humorous but ultimately uneven."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek "With a combination of sensitivity and insight, John Singleton presents a fascinating portrait of an African American that goes against stereotypes of 20-year-old men."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "It almost always seems real (at least until the end) and it addresses meaningful issues."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli "Occasionally becomes too wound up in its overly melodramatic moments and is a bit too uneven in its storytelling approach for its own good or the viewer's ultimate enjoyment."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 8/10 "An intelligent film about love, relationships, family, friendship, maturity and growing up."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo "When Snoop is the highlight of your film, you've got big problems."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick 4/5 "'Baby Mama Drama' in da Hood."   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel B+ "Singleton's directed one of the year's best ensemble casts."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 3/4 "John Singleton has again succeeded in making a thoughtful and provocative film that long resonates in the mind."   Mr. Brown's Movies   Michael Dequina 4/4 "'Baby Boy' is a powerhouse of a film, and so sexy it's like celluloid Viagra."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten 3.5/5 "Recommended mainly to the more devoted Singleton fans, Baby Boy is pretty strong evidence of a filmmaker who still has plenty to say."   DVD Clinic   Scott Weinberg C+ "... an attempt to confront and challenge the legacy of cultural images based on killers, gang-bangers, and womanizing studs..."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker 5/10 ""Singleton's thesis is that pervasive racism and a lack of role models have psychologically infantalized Afro-American men.""   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger 2.5/4 Read review   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Dustin Putman Read review   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline Read review   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford Read review   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf Read review   BlackFilm.com   Wilson Morales  (1 - 22) of 22 OFCS Rating: 78% Fresh Page   1
