Ten years later, writer and director
John Singleton returns to the South Central Los Angeles neighborhoods of his debut film
Boyz 'N the Hood (1991).
Tyrese Gibson stars as Jody, a jobless 20-year-old African-American man who has fathered two children by two different women, Yvette (
Taraji P. Henson) and Peanut (
Tamara LaSeon Bass), although he still lives with his 36-year-old mother Juanita (
Adrienne-Joi Johnson). As Jody grapples with the increasing pressures of adult responsibility, he also contends with his troubled best friend Sweetpea (
Omar Gooding) and new adversary Rodney (
Snoop Doggy Dogg). Then there's his mother's live-in boyfriend Marvin (
Ving Rhames), a reformed gangsta who agrees with Juanita that her son should grow up, move out, and move on.
