Critic Reviews of "BAPS (1997)"
Chicago ReaderJuly 21, 2009t'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.
VarietyApril 26, 2006Formulaic 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.
Time OutJanuary 26, 2006You 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.
New York TimesJanuary 01, 2000It's good for a half-hour of humor before the fun starts to dissolve.
ReelViewsJanuary 01, 2000Paying movie-goers deserve more, especially from someone who has previously shown signs of genuine comic aptitude.
San Francisco ChronicleJanuary 01, 2000They both do good work, but it's Desselle who steals the film and grabs the major laughs.
MovieCrypt.comJune 24, 2003Not a great example of Halle Berry's talent.
Star Newspapers (Chicago, IL)November 27, 2002Apallingly bad. Robert Townsend's attempt at satirizing black culture is far off the mark.
