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.

Reviews for B.A.P.S.
They both do good work, but it's Desselle who steals the film and grabs the major laughs.
Paying movie-goers deserve more, especially from someone who has previously shown signs of genuine comic aptitude.
It's good for a half-hour of humor before the fun starts to dissolve.
It's the kind of movie they don't make anymore -- and when they did, it was at the bottom of the bill after onscreen ads for local merchants.
Jaw-droppingly bad, a movie so misconceived I wonder why anyone involved wanted to make it.
