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.

i rented it from blockbuster recently and i was very impressed with what juwan did with this movie. i was expecting below average cinematography and a movie id turn off after halfway through - as i did with even Hollywood movies such as hit-man, shoot em up, hellboy 2 - but it was good enough to keep me watching. i liked the style and brashness of it and the story. i did have some complaints though how the story was a bit too chaotic to follow sometimes, the sound wasn't as clean in some scenes, the lead girl wasn't pretty. but that didn't ruin it. i really liked the acting by the benny and baby characters and the dad as well. the movie reminded me of a good old hong kong triad flick and it even had a classic song by alan tam in it that i loved as a kid. really cool. so i recommend this flick. support indie-Asian-good cinema!

Juwan Chung's "Baby" captures the crime, violence and drug abuse involved with Asian street gangs. David Huynh does a great job playing the role of "Baby" a motherless, poverty stricken teen who encounters a world of danger while roaming the streets of Monterey Park and Alhambra. Baby has been long overdue ! GREAT MOVIE! "We live 4 our brothers without them we're nothing"! You mess with one you mess with the rest is a good way to describe this movie.The cast gives an outstanding performance that brings the movie to life! This is one one of my favorite movies of all time "Baby" is the Asian Boyz in the Hood. An action packed movie not to be missed!
