This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
View MoreThe storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
View MoreClose shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
View MoreI personally give this film an average rating of 6 out of 10, I was expecting a lot better from the film. The concept was great, the look for the characters and the portrayal was great especially with the gritty realism the movie had. But I was disappointed mainly in the lack of structure for the plot, the dialogue was mediocre and the only time the story got interesting or caught my attention was when Baby shot the man who killed his friend when he was a kid. It was boring until the part the little kid was shot when Baby and his crew robbed a house and his friend murdered the little kid. After that the story became really interesting. I think it would be awesome for this film to be remade by a better director with the same gritty portrayal, only change up the dialogue and structure the story better.
View MoreDon't know which Muppets wrote the good reviews for this crap film, obviously people involved in the making of it.Baby is utterly $hit.The main actor can't act to save his life and overacts everything. When he gets all 'serious' like "whats up punk!?" it was so laughable.The only redeeming feature of this film is the music. There were so many cliché scene in this film. It is a very weak film.Terribly acted, scripted and directed.Take no notice of the hype on the font of the DVD.Give Baby a miss as it will sorely disappoint and bore you.
View MoreBefore I watched this film I came on here to check it out, I didn't find much which was surprising, not a lot of comments, I don't think there is even a summary...nothing. I mean some seriously s*** films on this site even get a summary. But thankfully I went on and watched it. Definitely not disappointed. This is a little gem of a film. It gets everything just right, from the action to the romance. The dialogue is short, effective and often intense. This film really sucked me in.You've probably all read the hype and the comparisons to 'Boyz in the Hood', and I'll admit that such talk did scare me too as that is just one of those films that cannot be touched, just cannot be improved upon. Baby is different, yet just as compelling and thought provoking etc, its got all that deep moving s***e, with some kick ass action thrown in. This isn't just a 'Friday night in' movie. This is one for the collection to be watched again and again. Makes you ask yourself what you stand for and how far you'd go? (Yeah there's some of that deep s***e I mentioned earlier).As for which way the door is swinging I would say its more a guys film, but ladies there is some romance in there and its not all non-stop violence so don't be too put off. Though for the lads out there; the main characters in this film will make you look like a complete pussy in front of your woman so you may not wanna watch it with her.Anyway bottom line sort your life out and check this out.
View MoreWhen I was 12, I saw my best friend's father beat his wife to death. Because she died en route to the hospital from a heart attack, the old man wasn't charged with murder. A decade later, homeless and a hardcore alcoholic, the old man drank a can of Sterno and died a slow and painful death in the hospital. He died on Christmas Day. I'd be the last person in the world to suggest that that old man got just what he deserved. (Well, maybe second from last...) I saw two men get shot one night, not 20 feet from where my brother, my sister and I sat on our front porch (the shootout followed a beer joint robbery just down the block from where we lived). One evening, I watched two men engage in a knock down, drag out fistfight that lasted for more than an hour. One of those two men murdered the other, decapitating him and chopping off both of his hands in the process (the hands were later recovered, but not the head). I avoided being ambushed on the way home one evening by outfoxing a pair of neighborhood punks who popped up out of an alley(there was a gang on each street in the area where I grew up, and such ambushes were not uncommon). I later learned (when I saw the piece in the newspaper) that they had continued on, looking for a victim, and had found, just one block from where they had accosted me, a man who had been drinking. Fifteen minutes after I walked away from them, they beat that man to death. Their reason for doing so? They wanted to be with their brothers, who were in prison. Four blocks from where I lived (in a house that had been a homeless shelter until it was condemned), a halfway house for ex-cons was opened. One of the residents, it turned out, was a serial killer known thereabouts as "The Southside Strangler." When I see a movie like BABY, it reminds me of those days, and those people (and so many others). BABY is a very well-crafted movie, with good performances all around. Recommended.
