Baby Boy
2001 · 2h 10m · Crime, Drama, Romance, Thriller · United States of America · Rated R (US)
Just a Baby Boy.
The story of Jody, a misguided, 20-year-old African-American who is really just a baby boy finally forced-kicking and screaming to face the commitments of real life. Streetwise and jobless, he has not only fathered two children by two different women-Yvette and Peanut but still lives with his own mother. He can't seem to strike a balance or find direction in his chaotic life.
