John Singleton s Baby Boy is a bold criticism of young black men who carelessly father babies, live off their mothers and don/t even think of looking for work. It is also a criticism of the society that pushes them into that niche. There has never been a movie with this angle on the African-American experience. The movie s message to men like its hero is: yes, racism has contributed to your situation, but do you have to give it so much help with your own attitude? In the opening sequence, we meet Jody (Tyrese Gibson), a 20-year-old who has children by two women and still lives in his room in his mother s house. He drives his girlfriend Yvette (Taraji P. Henson) home from a clinic where she had just had an abortion. She is understandably sad and in pain, a little dopey from pills. She doesn t want to talk. In that case, says Jody, she won t mind if he borrows her car. He does and uses it to visit his other girlfriend.
TV One original film coming just in time for the new year. Starring
Keri Hilson as Mykah, the trailer features plenty of laughs, romance, and strong bonds between a group of friends.
