Plot summary

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.

I did not like it the first time I saw it. Now, I like it.

In 2001, I did not like this move. In 2021, I can appreciate why it is loved by so many.With age and life experiences comes understanding as well as an appreciation of things.John Singleton had a way of capturing the heart, creativity, culture, love and struggle of black people that still resonates today. You can see how his movies set the stage for other classics such as Jason's Lyric, The Wood, Friday and many others.
