Baby Boy is the powerful drama directed by John Singleton (Shaft, Boyz N the Hood) starring music superstars Tyrese Gibson and Snoop Dogg (Bones, Training Day). With knockout performances from Ving Rhames (Mission Impossible II, Pulp Fiction, Con Air) and A.J. Johnson (House Party, School Daze), Baby Boy is a tough, honest and unflinching look at modern urban life.

Jody (Gibson) is a 20-year-old African American in South Central L.A. who is trying to live large but doesn't have a job. He's got two babies by two different women and still lives at home with his mother (Johnson). Growing up is tough on Jody, but a series of events involving his mother's new boyfriend Melvin (Rhames), his girlfriend Yvette and her ex-con ex-boyfriend Rodney (Snoop Dogg) force him to learn some hard lessons about living, loving and surviving as a man in the hood.
