Baby Boy

Writer-director John Singleton returns to the streets of
south central Los Angeles, this time to tell the story of a selfish, 20-year-old single father of two who learns to embrace his responsibilities. Though preachy at times, this is a surprisingly inspirational pro-family drama with touches of Singleton’s distinct visual style. Former MTV personality Tyrese Gibson turns in a solid acting debut as the title character.
