Review of Baby Boy

Baby Boy (2001)
5/10
Singleton's worst
8 November 2001
With Singleton at the helm of the "Baby Boy" production and rave reviews from many critics, I was sorely disappointed to find this turkey a numbing and disjointed narrative which jumps from one rant to another as it peers into the lives of a bunch of stereotypical genital obsessed black Los Angelinos. An attempt to portray the futility of one shiftless man's growing up black in Watts while wrestling with the responsibilities of manhood, "Baby Boy" loses itself in itself as it buries whatever social message was to be had in too much redundant clutter. Recommended only for those who can make the huge leap of faith required to buy into a film which is obviously just another commercial Hollywood copycat Afro-Am hood drama.
