Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
Wordiezett So much average
Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
capone666 B*A*P*S The reason there are no black monarchs in America is colonists hated British rule as much as black emancipation.However, the Black American Princesses in this comedy come close.Nisi (Halle Berry) and Mickey (Natalie Desselle-Reid) head to LA to raise capital for a soul-food hair salon in Atlanta.While unsuccessful at sudden stardom, Nisi lands a gig as the lost love of an ailing millionaire (Martin Landau).Eventually the ostentation twosome rub elbows with the elite and introduce them to their brash urban branding.All the while becoming the unknowing accomplishes to a plan to extort their sugar-granddaddy of his millions. A cultural misstep, this lowbrow lampoon of black/white relations may feature some first-rate funnymen (Bernie Mac, Rudy Ray Moore, Faizon Love) but its depiction of both races is offensively unfunny.Besides, neighbours would be calling the cops every time they saw B*A*P*s entering the old man's mansion.Red Lightvidiotreviews.blogspot.ca
glenda_anne123 I love this movie! I can't understand why there were some negative comments.I stayed up very late/early to watch this pic as it came on TV in the wee hours of this morning. Well worth the loss of sleep. Halle Berry was her usual gorgeous self. She dons a blonde wig ... both wacky and cool! Teamed up with Natalie Desselle who cooks up some irresistible "soul" food, you couldn't have asked for a better duo to keep you entertained..never a dull moment. Heart warming and fun. This story line may have some similarities with other movies, but this one has been done very well.If you haven't already seen this light-hearted comedy, you should! You won't be disappointed. 10/10
Kevinisha Gordon (bigchief0418) I loved B.A.P.S it was an awesome movie with a meaning. I thought of it as a Romantic Comedy. Halle Berry is one of my favorite actresses and I adore Natalie Desselle. All the other movies Halle played in they were more serious and less funny and B.A.P.S just showed one of her many talents as an actress. When I saw B.A.P.S it was the first time I had ever heard or saw Natalie Desselle and she was wonderful in this movie. This movie proved that they were really Black American Princesses. And besides I love most of Robert Townsend's movies and this was just one of them. Halle and Natalie acted those parts out like they were actually living Nisi and Nikki's lives and I thought that was just outstanding. It may not have been a big hit, but it was to me.
leighabc123 B.A.P.S. was a great movie! I liked Halle and Natalie's roles in this movie! This movie was so funny! This is one of the few movies that you can see Halle Berry's silly side. This is a fairy tale rags to riches story. Halle should have won an Oscar for this movie!
