Full Plot Details

Writer and Director John Singleton's portrayal of social problems in inner-city Los Angeles, California takes the form of a tale of three friends growing up together in the "hood". Half-brothers Doughboy (Ice Cube) and Ricky Baker (Morris Chestnut) are foils for each other's personality, presenting very different approaches to the tough lives they face. Ricky is the "All-American" athlete, looking to win a football scholarship to USC and seeks salvation through sports, while Doughboy succumbs to the violence, alcohol, and crime surrounding him in his environment, but maintains a strong sense of pride and code of honor. Between these two is their friend Tre Styles (Cuba Gooding, Jr.), who is lucky to have a father, Furious Styles (Laurence Fishburne), to teach him to have the strength of character to do what is right and to always take responsibility for his actions.

Movie Reviews

AwardsCircuit.com - 10/10 by Shane SlaterAll of these supporting characters proved indispensable to the film's lasting power.
Irish Times - 10/10 by Tara BradyThe dialogue is hilarious, loaded, questioning.
TheMovieReport.com - 10/10 by Michael DequinaAn uncommonly accomplished and mature filmmaking debut, one that has and will continue to stand the test of time.
Guardian - 10/10 by Peter BradshawBoyz N the Hood is a passionate drama shot with fluency and style, a study of what amounts to life during wartime, with people grimly used to gunfire and helicopters thudding overhead.
The Hollywood Reporter - 10/10 by Duane ByrgeBoyz n the Hood is a knockdown assault on the senses, a joltingly sad story told with power, dignity and humor. No mere studio genre piece preening as social significance because its characters are black, Boyz is straight from the neighborhood — Singleton grew up in South Central — and straight from the heart.
South Florida Sun-Sentinel - 10/10 by Bill von MaurerEmotionally, this film will leave you grim-faced and shaken. It hits hard where so many films aim and miss -- at the heart.
New York Times - 10/10 by Janet MaslinIn this setting, the actors could easily disappear into speeches or stereotypes, but they don't; the film's strength is that it sustains an intimate and realistic tone.
Video-Reviewmaster.com - 10/10 by Steve CrumJohn Singleton's ground breaking film that launched many careers.
Film Threat - 10/10 by Brad LaidmanI's a sadly optimistic and touching classic that confidently conveys a coherent solemn mood of a modern American wasteland.
Time - 10/10 by Richard SchickelHas maturity and emotional depth: There are no cheap shots, nothing is thrown in for effect, realism is placed ahead of easy dramatic payoffs, and the audience grows deeply involved.
