This movie deserves some recognition for a lot of reasons. First, the plot is very well written; there are interesting (and plausible) situations happening all the time, most of them showing aspects of ordinary lives. Every step characters do is justified, bringing realism to the film. Actors involved in this project are extremely professional-- and unintentionally hilarious--, with highlights to Taraji P. Henson, who surprised me. Yvette feels incongruent when allows Joe Joe standing alone in the same room as Rodney, but that may show the lack of responsibility she could have had. The main analogy between an immature man and a baby is quite smart, and everyone is capable to relate with such character. That happens because in current societies, it's getting longer and longer the time for the kids to leave parents' house. We all have the kangaroo syndrome, and it amazes me that in 2001 John Singleton could have made a movie with this subject. The only thing that I didn't enjoy was the poor acting coming from Snoop Dogg; it feels like he's just playing himself-- despite the violent behavior, which I have no information of. All in all, "Baby Boy" is a refreshing movie that I recommend to everyone who enjoys dramas and real life problems.
