Pootie Tang this ain't.

The film is a bold examination of an aspect of African American life. There's no shortage of sex, violence, or urban realism.

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.

Recommended mainly to the more devoted Singleton fans, Baby Boy is pretty strong evidence of a filmmaker who still has plenty to say.

This is yet another coming-of-age tale except that the hero is not a teenager but a young man who goes out of his way to be macho but really is a mama boy.

What holds the movie together ... is Gibson's broodingly responsive performance.

I felt myself drawn into a vortex of raw emotion from which I could not escape.

An unfortunate hybrid of Oedipal and Peter Pan complexes, Singleton's film is a mishmash of half-cocked ideas and unrealized sentiments.

One of the most entertaining African-American comedies of manners ever made.

...while it's not as gritty as Boyz N the Hood or as compelling as Higher Learning, Baby Boy is certainly worth checking out if only for the superb performances...

[Jody's] lessons on growing up and moving on never ring more than halfhearted and false.

The characters are so full-bodied and the feelings so raw and complex that I'd call this the best thing John Singleton has done to date
