Boyd N the Hood
Boyz N in the Hood is one of my favorite all time movies, when I saw how
cheap the price is on Amazon I ordered it. John Singleton did a wonderful
job with this movie. I love all the actors and actresses in the movie,
they were so believable playing their parts. Cuba Gooding, Jr. and Ice
Cube really delivered. I would highly recommend this movie!!!
Honest and riveting; not what I expected at all...
I was blown away by `Boyz `N the Hood' mainly because I really wasn't expecting anything particularly smart. I mean, in all honesty can you say that the films title or descriptions would ever lead you to believe it would have some validity? It does though, have a lot of validity. Not only is it a well acted (for the most part) film but it is a really socially important film about race relations both with those outside your race, but more importantly with those within your race. Exposing the hatred and senseless violence that pollutes certain communities, `Boyz N' the Hood' really rises above most films of this nature (take that Spike Lee) and creates a film that is emotionally investing and in the end one that is respectably sincere.

Which Path Would You Take?
Boyz N The Hood is considered by many as the definitive "Hood" movie and is even more astounding to learn that Writer & Director John Singleton was only 23 when this was released. The greatest aspect of this movie is that it's a film about acceptance when focusing around the main character Tré. He's a representative for those of us who have all told lies about our lives simply to fit in with the crowd. We can all relate to the Tré character which is what is easily one of the main reasons for this films popularity.
Set in South Central L.A. "Boyz N The Hood" focuses around three friends with very different aspirations in life.

RIICCKKYY!!!!!!
i just recently watched this movie again for the first time in years and enjoyed it all over again.
I must have missed something?
Well everybody told me to watch this movie, so I did. I live in the Netherlands, Europe so you know. I have been to compton once by mistake and south-central by choice. So if you do not like my review blame it on the fact that I am European and I do not know what I am talking about.
The movie overall strikes me as totally non realistic with flying helicopters and firing smg's all the time. Sure it is not the best neighbourhood to live in, but come on it is not a warzone.
The story is told already like a thousand times. A good kid winds up in a bad neighbourhood. He almost goes on the criminal path but... rappapa big surprise surprise he does not he goes to college and so does his his girl. His friend also understand ... Read More
