Leave your thoughts about B.A.P.S.
| Refinery29Anne CohenThe fact that the film has had such a lasting impact,... proves that the film spoke to its audience. |
| USA TodayMike ClarkIt'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. |
| Chicago ReaderLisa Alspectort'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. |
| New York TimesJanet MaslinIt's good for a half-hour of humor before the fun starts to dissolve. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Chris HicksBadly timed sight gags, weak one-liners, incessant music videos and sloppy sentiment are the order of the day. The stars throw themselves into it, but to no avail. |
| Rochester Democrat and ChronicleJack GarnerLeft 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. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsFrank OchiengThis 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!!! |
| San Francisco ExaminerBarbara ShulgasserLandau does the best he can with his limitations. |
| Star Newspapers (Chicago, IL)Michael DrakulichApallingly bad. Robert Townsend's attempt at satirizing black culture is far off the mark. |
| CinematterMadeleine WilliamsA horribly failed satire that should be avoided by all. |
