Reviews for B.A.P.S.
They both do good work, but it's Desselle who steals the film and grabs the major laughs.

Top CriticA very funny movie.
01/01/00
t's a celebration of bonds that are thicker than blood and demonstrates above all that fame-and-fortune fantasies can blur divisions of race and class as persuasively as they can exaggerate them.

Top CriticIt's bad, real bad, with frequently excruciating dialogue, often bewildering storytelling and a denouement actually drowned out by incidental music, that makes for a painful and staggeringly inept movie.
01/01/00
You can see how the black, modern-day Pygmalion-type story could work, just, but not with this heap of cabbage leaves for a script, and not with such desperately goofy acting from Berry and Desselle.
01/26/06
A string of hugely unfunny shenanigans ensue.

Landau does the best he can with his limitations.

Bad, amateur, poor and silly.
06/05/02
Badly timed sight gags, weak one-liners, incessant music videos and sloppy sentiment are the order of the day. The stars throw themselves into it, but to no avail.

Formulaic and distastefully fake, Townsend's modern fairy tale unsuccessfuly tries to combine the premise of Pretty Woman with the formats of the fish-out-of-water and culture-collision.
04/26/06
This film has no direction or redeeming qualities other than being offensive, aimless, and having its young black female leads all dressed up in silly garb with no place to go. B.A.P.S: Beware of Asinine Picture that Stinks!!!
01/01/00
Left with nothing to do but vamp, Berry, Desselle and even the veteran Landau have little choice but to overact, trying to create explosions where there is no dynamite.
01/01/00
Paying movie-goers deserve more, especially from someone who has previously shown signs of genuine comic aptitude.
01/01/00
Top CriticIt's good for a half-hour of humor before the fun starts to dissolve.
01/01/00
Top CriticNot a great example of Halle Berry's talent.
