Doesn't coming of age mean teenage years. Tyrese look like he was playing a 20 something year old in Baby Boy.
Anyway, I'd put The Wood over Baby Boy in that category.

I'm here for any discussion about Baby Boy, but I never viewed it as some deep coming of age movie. To me it was a serious movie that ended up being one of the all time hood comedies.
And the quotables
"That's right.... Call fo ya mama...."
"Get off the phone so I can drop it off in ya draws"
"I hate you...."
"I hate you too, lil niigga; you ain't my son" 
"Chuck that chin up, lil niigga... Don't move or I'ma hit you with two"

I liked The Inkwell.
Baby Boy has to be the most unintentional funny movie of all time

Hmm . . . love the movie but does this count as Coming of Age? I took it to mean a kid comes in somewhat innocent and learns some sober life lessons making him less innocent. Maybe I'm wrong.
In Fresh dude was moving H from jump.

Kind of fits the bill. He wasn't all the way innocent but at the end of the movie he sure saw some shyt.

You are correct. He was 20 so technically its not a coming of age. But thats his *shrugs*
