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!!!

But they really hit the jackpot when the director's unctuous nephew involves them in a scam to trick his wealthy old employer into believing that one of the B.A.P.s is his long-lost love's granddaughter.

Reviews for B.A.P.S.
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.
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.
Robert Townsend's career continues its ongoing descent with this ludicrously awful culture-clash comedy.
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.
I do have some free advise for both Landau and Berry: Fire your agents.
Jaw-droppingly bad, a movie so misconceived I wonder why anyone involved wanted to make it.
