I 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.

Don'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.

When 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.
