B*A*P*S Reviews
New York Times
Janet Maslin
It's good for a half-hour of humor before the fun starts to dissolve.
USA Today
Mike Clark
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.
San Francisco Chronicle
Edward Guthmann
They both do good work, but it's Desselle who steals the film and grabs the major laughs.
Variety
Emanuel Levy
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.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Jaw-droppingly bad, a movie so misconceived I wonder why anyone involved wanted to make it.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
Paying movie-goers deserve more, especially from someone who has previously shown signs of genuine comic aptitude.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Robert Townsend's career continues its ongoing descent with this ludicrously awful culture-clash comedy.
MovieCrypt.com
Kevin A. Ranson
Not a great example of Halle Berry's talent.
Refinery29
Anne Cohen
The fact that the film has had such a lasting impact,... proves that the film spoke to its audience.
Chicago Reader
Lisa Alspector
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.
Washington Post
Esther Iverem
A very funny movie.
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
The story offers nothing original.
Star Newspapers (Chicago, IL)
Michael Drakulich
Apallingly bad. Robert Townsend's attempt at satirizing black culture is far off the mark.
