Nostalgic romcom with some drama. Memorable, super cute and always makes me smile. Love seeing a different side of Tupac and Janet in this!

Real simple story that leads to repetitive scenes. A decent watch for sure, it’s not super serious

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.
